Post-lunch session: Nancy Law

by | Wednesday, August 20, 2008

The last session of the day was led by Dr. Nancy Law, Director, Centre for Information Technology in Education, University of Hong Kong. Her session was titled Using ICT to support learning: lessons learnt from international studies

I met Dr. Law at SITE 2008 and then during my visit to Hong Kong earlier this summer.

She is speaking about her study recently published as:
Law, N., Pelgrum, W.J. & Plomp, T. (eds.) (2008). Pedagogy and ICT use in schools around the world: Findings from the IEA SITES 2006 study. Hong Kong: CERC-Springer. [More detail here.]

I am not blogging about it here since I had already seen this presentation at SITE 08, but you can read an executive summary of the report here.
