A Jubilee fifth edition of the conference "New Technology in Education"

The conference "New Technologies in Education" is the largest event of its kind in this part of Europe and includes a large number of local, regional and international lecturers, whose lectures will focus on concrete examples of good practice of using ICT in classrooms. The event will cover the following topics: Work on projects and creativity in the classroom; Key skills and mental development; Development of digital content for learning and use of ICT in other subjects; Algorithmic thinking and coding; Inclusive education and assistive technologies; School management through the digitization process; Professional education and digital industries.

A rich fair program will be presented by companies, publishers and educational institutions from Serbia, the region and the United Kingdom. This year, we want to highlight the STEAM village made up of companies from the United Kingdom that produce devices for coding and teaching children about digital literacy. Another major change compared to the previous editions of "New Technologies in Education" is that we will organize a competition of primary school principals in coding on micro: bit devices that the British Council donated to schools as part of the "21st Century" project.

The conference and the "New Technologies in Education" fair will be held at the Belexpocenter and the premises of the "Holiday Inn" hotel in Belgrade on June 8th and 9th 2018.

Participation at the conference is free, and the lectures will be in Serbian and English. The conference program will be realized in several rooms.
