Objectives

The ISIS Summit will be held at the 70th anniversary of the publication of Vannevar Bush’s epoch-making article “As We May Think”.[1] Bush’s futuristic vision of the intellectual potential of the uses of technology was manifested in our everyday experience while tomorrow’s digital tools now promise even more. Information and communication technologies are inevitably changing human life and are about to transform education as we know it today. However, the changes in educational practices in most cases are still barely apparent, while future generations are “growing up digital”. While some educational systems seem to be resilient to technology integration, others lack financial resources for such integration, and yet others plan to completely replace ‘old’ forms with new ones.
