TECH TUTOR III

The key to the effective use of ICT in education is not new technology itself, but to understand first how and whether it can enhance people’s learning.

Information and communication technologies, today, are playing a very important role in transforming the mode of imparting education. The application of technology on the ways education is being imparted will not only help a lot in bridging the rural urban divide, but also in improving the quality of life.

In the information age we live in today, it is no longer enough to bridge the digital divide in ICT access and skills– we also need to consider the best way to utilize ICT effectively and productively, while minimizing the unfavorable side effects that accompany ICT's rapid advancement. 

In order to provide you with a better view of the role played by technology in education, Powertips, the training division of INFOCHAT would like to invite you to join "TechTutor III - Paradigm Shift in ICT Learning to Reach the Unreached", a seminar designed for Learners, Educators, Experts and Parents.
