Un message d’Aurélien Fievez:

le Colloque international en éducation : enjeux actuels et futurs de la formation et de la profession enseignante aura lieu les 2 et 3 mai 2013, à l’hôtel Sheraton de Montréal (http://colloque.crifpe.ca).

 Ce colloque sera précédé d’un autre événement, le Sommet de l’iPad en éducation (http://www.sommetipad.ca/) qui se déroulera au même endroit le 1er mai 2013. Il a pour objectif de rassembler différents acteurs clés du domaine de l’éducation intéressés par l’utilisation de l’iPad à l’école. Il réunira des intervenants (des chercheurs, des conseillers pédagogiques, des enseignants, des directions, des élèves et des professionnels) qui exposeront leurs recherches et leurs pratiques sur l’utilisation de l’iPad en contexte scolaire. Ce sommet permettra également de faire le point sur les résultats d’une recherche menée à travers le Québec auprès de 3500 élèves et 200 enseignants utilisant l’iPad en classe (http://ipad.crifpe.ca).
