"ICTEV encourages you to be part of our 2013 state conference to be held on Saturday 25th May 2013, with the theme IT Takes A Village. The educational landscape is no longer one of isolation and remoteness. Teachers, students and communities are now part of the greater picture of global learning. The development of ICT has had a huge impact on this ability to share, communicate and collaborate.

We like to make a difference in our own educational settings so that we do not isolate our students but rather help them to attain their own aspirations and dreams.
