Dear Fairfield West PS,
As part of the ICT Committee, Dave, Ena, Cassie, Rehana, Dave and I went to the Inspire Innovate: Lead IT, CreateIT, Engage IT Conference. Inspire was a 2-day conference where speakers would share their teaching ideas, concepts and strategies of how to integrate and utilize technology in the classroom and school setting.
Located at ANZ Stadium, Olympic Boulevard, Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, NSW.
Over 2 days on Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 of April, 2013.
The course comprised of 8 Sessions of LeadIT, CreateIT, EngageIT Workshops over 2 days (4 on Wednesday and 4 on Thursday). We were allowed to choose 8 workshops over 71 available workshops. Each workshop goes for 1 hour unless we selected a 120 minute double session. This was done prior to the conference when registering for the course via the Inspire Innovate website.

Since 2007, the motto: “If you build it, they will come”
Now there is a State-wide ICT event where local and international speakers present their ideas and experiences exploring pedagogical programs and digital learners.
The Digital Generation:
Teach Generation Z (1995 – 2009) Natives to Technology
Generation Media
Technologically literate
Virtual Screen / Face–to-Face
Take for granted multiple media
Emerging generation personifying our future
Schools need to be inviting, challenging and adaptable.
We must prepare and make a difference to their academic, creative and risk-taking culture.
Technology should support pedagogy. It is a tool. We must authentically integrate technology in the classroom.
Any Learning… Any Learner… Anywhere… Anytime…
