<DIV> </DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><BR>Call for Papers - NOW OPEN</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>ICT Educators from primary and secondary schools, tertiary
institutions,<BR>sector authorities, business and industry are invited to
participate in<BR>building the program of Victorian Information Technology
Teachers<BR>Association's 2006 Annual Conference.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Conference Theme - ICT: Imagination, Creativity & Thinking</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> ³Young people need to develop the creative skills needed in the
workplace<BR>of the future. Fast-moving technology and global communications
call for an<BR>ability to produce creative solutions to complex problems.
Creative teaching<BR>practices can help develop and release students¹
creativity, increasing<BR>their ability to solve problems, think independently
and work flexibly.²<BR>(DfES, UK, 2005)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Creativity is moving up the school agenda. As it does so, the emphasis is
on<BR>creative thinking applicable across all curriculum areas. It
promotes<BR>originality, collaboration and creative spaces. For children to be
creative<BR>they need stimuli. These may include curriculum, technologies or
buildings<BR>that stimulate expressive responses, but may also include
difficult,<BR>real-life problems that require creative thinking to
solve.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Creativity involves thinking or behaving imaginatively. Part of
the<BR>challenge of creativity for both teachers and students is the
willingness to<BR>explore the unknown, to be innovative, to *risk-take¹
and to collaborate<BR>between classes and schools.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Consider the levels of creative opportunity in your school or
classroom.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>? What can you do to encourage creativity in your own practice and in
your<BR>students¹ learning?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>? Can the school environment and your classroom be changed to
promote<BR>creativity and imagination?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>? Can the organisation of the school day be altered to promote
creativity<BR>and thinking?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The innovative three-day conference program is designed to provide
attendees<BR>with a variety of lecture style presentations, demonstrations,
hands-on<BR>computer sessions and trade show demonstrations, incorporating
best practice<BR>teaching and learning. There are many opportunities for
presenters to<BR>effectively communicate their ideas and share innovative
practices.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Abstract submissions are now being accepted - simply log in to your
VITTA<BR>account to submit. If you do not already hold a VITTA web account,
