ELH and SchoolTech Conferences

ELH and SchoolTech, Australia's Premier Technology and Learning conference 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 ELH 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 Critical Conversation stream for those with a mature 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.

SchoolTech, for IT Managers and IT administration staff in schools runs parallel to the ELH Conference. Running this event at the same time, at the same venue as ELH encourages 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 2010 raises important issues facing IT administrators in schools and addresses these through a range of Featured Presentations, Hands-On Demonstrations, Discussion Forums and Management Insight 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 Conferences is reflected by some of the comments from previous delegates:

“The balance and diversity between the Technical Stream and the Curriculum Stream, all focused on best practice Educational processes and outcomes make this conference a must attend on the annual calendar”

“The most important event in my work calendar. The value of ELH/SchoolTech cannot be overstated, I know of no other meeting of the minds that offers the opportunities available at this event”

"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."
