[Year 12 IT Apps] DLTV conference - DigiCon

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Not quite, speakers are just chipping in to pay for the delicious supper, munchy meals and the bubbly evening fellowship. They also get to attend the other sessions and contribute etc. Its was a very good deal and many still put their hand up to contribute. 

Medicine has an interesting “no free lunch” group has some very controversial but politically correct things to say about freebies including free conference invites. When I read this, I thought of the many teachers I have seen (including myself) gathering up the free writing pads and pens. Ouch .. http://nofreelunch.org/news.htm

I agree Bill, it is never an easy decision for any group to charge speakers but it does keeps the cost down for those that do register.  The program is quite full and worth glancing over on the DLTV website.

I have enjoyed going over the show recordings too. Thank you for all your work with this and the DLTV office team for making this a focus at the conference.

>> Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria is holding its second conference on 25 and 26 July at Swinburne University of Technology. In addition to a range of streams focusing on Prep to year 10, there is a stream dedicated to VCE IT/Computing (both Friday and Saturday) and a stream for VCE Algorithmics (Friday only).

>> I would strongly recommend that you come along to this conference, particularly as the new study design is being introduced in 2016. Even if you attended an Implementation workshop this term (VCAA/DLTV program) you will have a chance to both broaden and deepen your knowledge of the study design at this conference. Also on Saturday there is a session focusing on past student performances in IT apps and Sof Dev, some of which is not typically available to the public.
