The first international conference on technology education entitled “Touchpoint 2010” will be held on March 4 and 5, 2010 at the Century Park Hotel in Manila. With the theme “Real Learning with ICT,” this groundbreaking convention aims to bring together specialists from the fields of technology and education to discuss how information communications technology (ICT) has enhanced teaching, learning and governance in education. The two-day event also aims to promote dynamic collaborations among the participants, expected to include teachers, researchers, scientists, administrators and policy makers.
The subthemes of the conference include Integration Strategies and Methodologies; Emerging ICT Tools for Teaching, Learning and Assessment; ICTS for Lifelong Learning and Special Education; and Improving Institutional and/or National Frameworks, Policies and Governance in Education.
Touchpoint 2010 is organized by the Learning Innovations Center of the Advanced Research Institute for Computing (AdRIC) under the De La Salle University-College of Computer Studies. It is also endorsed by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and sponsored by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and the Vibal Foundation, the corporate social arm of Vibal Publishing House, Inc.
The keynote speaker at the conference will be Maria Spante, Ph.D, from Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden. A prolific researcher specializing in social interaction in technical systems, technical systems and human relations, and learning and interactive media, Spante will be delivering a plenary talk entitled “Interactivity, Visualization and Learning: Challenges and Possibilities.”
The other featured speakers are Emmanuel Lallana, Ph.D., the chief executive of Idea Corp and project leader of the Pan Asia Network on Democratic eGovernance, and Keith Kirkwood from the School of Learning Support at Victoria University in Melbourne, Australia. AdRIC director Charibeth Cheng and Touchpoint 2010 editor Jose Lloyd Espirutu are also scheduled to deliver plenary talks.
