Workshop on Education Technology and Training

Workshop on Education Technology and Training - Event details   12/20/2008 - 12/21/2008 TBA, Shanghai, CHINA   Description With the rapid development of information technology, a new set of learning environments including virtual classrooms, virtual laboratories and virtual universities are being developed. Many people warn of the possible harmful effects of using technology in the classroom. Will children lose their ability to relate to other human beings? Will they become dependent on technology to learn? Will they find inappropriate materials? The same was probably said with the invention of the printing press, radio, and television. All of these can be used inappropriately, but all of them have given humanity unbounded access to information which can be turned into knowledge. Appropriately used-- interactively and with guidance-- they have become tools for the development of higher order thinking skills. Inappropriately used in the classroom, technology can be used to perpetuate old models of teaching and learning. Students can be ‘plugged into computers' to do drill and practice that is not so different from workbooks. Teachers can use multimedia technology to give more colorful, stimulating lectures. Both of these have their place, but such use does not begin to tap the power of these new tools. Basing on it, First Workshop on Education Technology and Training (ETT 2008) will be held in Shanghai, China, 21-22 December, 2008. All accepted papers will be published by IEEE Press, USA . ETT 2008 is supported by IEEE SMC TC Technical Committee on Education Technology and Training.
