The eighth ICT in Education Conference will be hosted by LIT Tipperary on Saturday 19th of May 2012.
The theme of this year's event is Learning Spaces.
Keynote speakers this year include:
The theme "Learning Spaces" defines the 2012 ICT in Education Conference in Thurles, taking a broad view at both physical and virtual spaces where we learn.
'Our lives are filled with spaces where we learn from the time we are born and forever after. Learning begins with sounds, smells, tastes, textures, images, and emotional responses. Learning connects us to the world and the world to us. We learn as individuals and with each other. We represent our learning through our stories, images that we capture, words on pages, work we accomplish, and the symbols we use to describe, qualify and quantify our universe. Our learning embodies the uniqueness of who we are; no two memories are alike. This space for learning creates an opportunity to connect and construct memories together that become internal documentaries of that which we choose to explore- to rewind, play, pause, or fast forward. We are all creators of learning moments. That's what we do.'

The conference is not primarily about technology and learning; instead, it is about connecting enthusiasts at all levels of Ireland's educational system. The aim of the conference is to provide educators with practical ways to integrate technology into their learning spaces. It is about providing teachers with the tools which will allow them to connect with learners of the 21st century, who are at ease with technology. The ethos of the conference is 'by teachers for teachers' and the strength of this annual conference is that it connects educators across primary, secondary and tertiary education.
