Short Session Description (one line):

The emergence of new technologies is changing society, changing the way we live, the way we communicate and do business—and also the way we learn. Our educational systems are facing significant pressure to change in order to adequately prepare students to live, learn, and work in a global, digital age. As a result of this pressure, computers are being introduced in many schools around the world to enhance teaching and learning and prepare students for the new world in which they live.

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

Technology can be a powerful tool for learning. Computer and information technologies encourage the development of problem solving, analytical, and research skills and enable us to communicate with each other wherever we live. Furthermore, it can be a catalyst in changing the learning environment from one that is teacher-centered (teacher talks, students listen and write) to one that is learner-centered (leaders ,teachers are co-learners). In a technology-rich open environment, learners are actively involved in seeking and analyzing information, exploring and sharing new ideas, encountering and solving problems as they work at their own pace on interdisciplinary projects that are meaningful to them. Of course, technology if and of itself does not automatically result in these benefits. But by using technology in creative and innovative ways, we open up opportunities for learners to reach their potential as problem solvers and critical thinkers.
