Description
Our 2026 TPEA Conference is titled: Facing the Future: Are We Ready for Change Now?Digital technologies are changing education quickly. Developments such as artificial intelligence, new expectations for digital skills, and shifts in computing education raise important questions about how prepared educators and institutions are for what comes next.
This conference invites teachers, researchers, educators and practitioners to share work that explores current developments in computing and educational technology and their implications for teaching, learning and curriculum. The day will include a number of keynotes, panels and presentations on our conference themes.
In addition, in 2026, we will be celebrating 40 years since the founding of TPEA as ITTE – the association of Information Technology in Teacher Education. The conference will be an opportunity to look back at what we have learnt over 40 years of research and practice in using technology in education and also to look forward to next steps for technology, pedagogy and education.
Thanks to our generous sponsors at Taylor Francis, the conference will be subsidised for TPEA Members+ and we will also offer a number of travel and accommodation bursaries to support attendance.
