Recent conferences

Some fortunate Tasmanians have just returned from the recent Australian Computer Educators conference held in Cairns. A stimulating and varied program covered a range of ICT possibilities. We look forward to contributions that will inform others of your experiences. Information about the conference can be found at ACEC2006


The School Library Association of Queensland held a state conference in Mackay a week earlier that also reflected a strong ICT theme. The SLAQ blog provides information on a number of sessions that may be of interest to readers.

Recently at the ACEC (Australian Computers in Education Conference) in Cairns, Australian educators were able to listen to speakers of the calibre of Kathy Schrock, Bernie Hobbs and others. A real feature of the conference was the sessions on Web 2.0 and the implications for education.
