"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. As educators we can help promote and tell the stories of our craft, our innovations, the successes and challenges. This is what we like to hear and learn from. 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.

"Well, we are two Ukrainians who studied computer science at a university a while back. Both deeply passionate about computer science, sometime ago for our gradate work we developed an algorithm for detecting plagiarism in content. Once the project was completed, we saw what it has become. It was an amazing and useful tool for students and teachers to check if they or someone they know has plagiarized. Now finished with school, we thought this could really be useful to the public. So we gathered like-minded people to help make our service useful and popular throughout the world."

It will examine their scope, audience and the different tools that can be used to connect with these online learning communities. It will look at how teachers can connect to these communities with mobile phones, tablet devices and computers, online behaviour, how information is shared, how to control your content, how to find material and how to leverage this to best advantage. It will also consider some of the ethical issues and dilemmas that must be considered. "
