Setelah sukses mendukung Dinas Pendidikan Kota Malang dalam program Pelatihan SchoolNet bagi 383 Kepala SD, SMP, SMA dan SMA di ICT Center Kota Malang pada bulan Maret 2007. Kini mulai bulan November 2007 hingga Maret 2008 nanti kembali Microsoft Indonesia mendukung Dinas Pendidikan Kota Malang dalam program Pelatihan Jardiknas bagi 400 guru, 400 tata usaha dan 400 pustakawan Kota Malang di ICT Center Kota Malang.

Paparan tentang Immersive, Collaborative Simulations and Neomillennial Learning Styles: Implications for Education-nya Professor Christopher Dede dari Harvard University dan 2020 Vision of Future Learning-nya Bruce Dixon dari Microsoft di 4^th ICET 2007 tentu akan dinantikan oleh 1000-an delegasi yang teregisterasi dari berbagai negara. Di arena konferensi nanti delegasi guru dan dosen Indonesia akan membagi diri menjadi 3 kelompok sesuai track Researcher, School dan IDA (Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore) yang tersedia dan dengan harapan tidak ada sesi atau materi konferensi yang terlewatkan.

Adapun paper model-model pembelajaran akan disajikan di track School melalui sesi Immersive Learning, Reflective Learning, Collaborative Learning, dan Innovative Learning Culture. Sedangkan paper proyek pendidikan berbasis TIK akan disajikan di track IDA melalui sesi Serious Game for Learning, Interactive Learning Trails, iLAB 2015, dan Future Schooling.

Untuk melengkapi konferensi yang diikuti, delegasi guru dan dosen Indonesia juga akan diikut-sertakan dalam Post Conference Workshop yang terdiri dari workshop: 1. Leadership that enables effective use of ICT in Education, 2. Powerful ideas, teaching strategies and resources, 3. Evaluating effective integration of ICT, dan 4. Learning how to use.
