Expanding Learning Horizons and SchoolTech Background
 

Expanding Learning Horizons and SchoolTech, Australia’s Premier Technology and Learning conferences address a wide range of ICT challenges in education. From the integration of ICT into the curriculum to network infrastructure challenges, ELH and SchoolTech has something for anyone involved in technology programs in schools.

Since 1994, the Expanding Learning Horizons conference has inspired schools with thought provoking ideas, equipped them with practical resources and provided constructive tools for integration into their own environments. To meet the needs of various knowledge levels amongst delegates, the program includes a Visionary Stream for those with a depth of experience in 1:1 technology programs, Discovery Workshops that provide practical resources for teachers and full day Technology Teaching and Learning Institutes to deliver high level professional development unmatched by any other education technology conference in Australia.

Expanding Learning Horizons now incorporates the popular SchoolTech conference for IT managers and IT administration staff in schools. The SchoolTech conference which had run as a separate event in previous years, now runs at the same time and venue as Expanding Learning Horizons to encourage collaboration between IT and Curriculum staff in schools. Commencing in 2005, this amalgamation proved to be a great success with extremely positive feedback from delegates and presenters alike.

SchoolTech 2008 raises important issues facing IT administrators in schools and addresses these through a range of featured presentations, hands-on demonstrations, discussion forums and leadership sessions.

The conferences attract a diverse audience, from schools embarking on technology programs to the most technologically advanced schools in Australia and New Zealand, providing the perfect opportunity for schools of all kinds to share and learn.

 
The success of ELH is reflected by some of the comments from previous delegates:
  • "Outstanding. The best PD event of the year"
  • "It's a fantastic time of learning and fun... everything we wish our classrooms to be on a daily basis!"
  • "The conference provided an opportunity to interact with many of the leading companies, identifying tools for the future."
  • "One of the most significant education conferences in Australia. A conference where the hardest issues are debated in an atmosphere of frank honesty and professional, collegial support. The leadership of this conference is inspiring."
  • "One of the best things I have been to in a long time. I can't wait until the next one."
  • "Inspirational and educational - what education should be!"
  • "ELH conference inspires, excites and develops"
