World Telecommunication Day 2015 - ICTs in Education

Today the World Telecommunications Day 2015 was celebrated by a workshop, organised by the National Computer Board. The theme of the Workshop was on Innovation focused on the use of ICTs in various sectors. In general the workshop was very fruitful with a couple of very interesting and less interesting talks depending on one's interest. The focus was very much on making Mauritius a SMART island with the concept of SMART cities.

I was also invited by the NCB to make a presentation of ICTs in Education. The presentation is available on Slideshare on the following address. The title of the presentation was ICTs in Education - Drivers of Innovation and Enablers towards Knowledge Society Development. I wish to thank the NCB and my colleagues who remained till the end to listen to my talk.
