About ICTCE 2012

ICT in education has come some distance in India. Starting with ICT education (ICT literacy and skill development), of late ICT has found major space in matters of governance. ICT integrated education is still in its early infancy for a large number of reasons that include lack of personal access for teachers to ICT, poor internet connectivity, inappropriate location of ICT facilities in educational institutions (often centralised and museumised, namely audio-visual rooms or computer labs, without its presence in classrooms, laboratories and libraries with user terminals), and relevant digital content of high quality.more

Format

Conference will be woven around Keynote addresses, Panels, and Individual Presentations and ICT showcases and exhibitions.
