<p>The International Academic Forum in conjunction with its global partners is proud to announce the Third Annual Asian Conference on Technology in the Classroom, to be held from April 25-28 2013, at the Ramada Osaka, Osaka, Japan.</p>
<p><br>
CONFERENCE THEME: "The Impact of Innovation: Technology and You"</p>
<p><br>
Technology is all around us. Long gone are the days when we could just walk into a classroom with a handful of papers and a piece of chalk. Even if we are in an environment that is lacking resources, our students with mobile phones, internet café, and social
networking, are exposed to technology daily. And new uses of technology are being introduced daily. These new uses show how innovation and creativity go hand-in-hand. We invite language educators, administrators, policy makers, and others to join us at ACTC2013
as we examine technology’s impact upon our classrooms, share what innovations we are currently implementing, and look to the future imagining the role technology will play in education.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>ACTC 2013 will attract a diverse group of teachers, researchers, practitioners and scholars who are engaged in the singular goal of meeting students' educational needs, as students can learn about crucial issues and become familiar with web-based learning
and the other information technology tools. The use of technology in the classroom represents a significant departure from traditional teaching methods, conducting research, assessing student performance and assurance of learning. Moreover, it creates a user
friendly and economically viable environment conducive to learning in any corner in the world where access to technology exists.
