Don’t just take our word for it read what teachers attending the Sixth
National IWB Conference had to say:
“Conference was great! Lots of inspiring topics and ideas.” – Judy
King, Emmanuel College
“Thanks for a fabulous 3 days at Waverley, the conference opened my eyes
to soooo much!” – Michael Considine RMIT
“A big thanks to you and your team for a great conference. The
hyperconnectivity added to the experience and the networking was excellent. I’m
now looking forward to the Leading a Digital School Conference.” – Simon
Crook, CEO Sydney Southern Region
“Thanks for a great conference, I am inspired and have already started to
implement some of what I have learned.” – Judy Lawson, Mater Christi College
“Thank you for a great conference. Last night I just finished summarising
my experience of the conference so we can put together something for the rest of
the school.
The presenters (experienced, practicing teachers) were big users of IWBs
but they nevertheless had their hands firmly on the rudder of best teaching
practice. They were not tech nerds dazzled by gadgets. For example, from Chris
Betcher: “The teacher is still the magic in the room” and “It’s not about what
happens on the board, it’s about what happens because of what happens on the
board”.
The presenters were well aware of all the common criticisms leveled at
IWBs and dealt competently with them. They also showed us that the journey most
teachers take in getting acquainted with using IWBs is pretty much the same for
everyone and understandably takes time.” - Jacky Gruszka, Taylors College
“I enjoyed the conference so much. There were so many great sessions to
download from the Ning. I will be publicizing next year’s conference here at
school.” – Lyndy Cracknell, St Catherine’s School
“What a great conference this was - well done to the organisers. I sensed
a much greater maturity in the IWB scene this year than in previous years, with
far fewer people dazzled by the "cool stuff" and a much greater emphasis on
pedagogy and good teaching practice. I thought the conversations I took part in
were more teaching focussed and less about the cutesy tools.” – Chris
Betcher, Presbyterian Ladies College
