Hi Leanne and everyone,
Quite right - the event is a free one and you could fly up and back in a
single day (although it would be quite a busy day)! The event may not be
for everyone, but I would rather promote everything that is out there so
that you are all able at least to consider the opportunity. If it is not
for you, then that is OK.
Cheers,
Adrian Janson

Many of us live in the metropolitan area of Melbourne and some of us even
live reasonably close to an airport. Airfares to Gold Coast and back on 8th
September are currently just over $200 and the event is free. Cheaper than
going to the VITTA conference for a day!!

Hi all (apologies for cross-posting)
I received the following info from Andrew Parsons at Microsoft concerning a
training day especially for educators that he has organised - details are
below:
Tech.Ed Academic Day is a no-cost dedicated day of content designed to be
relevant to IT educators. The day brings Microsoft "thought provokers" and
respected university lecturers together to discuss current topics such as
social and new media, and offers the chance to network with fellow
educators. Topics include:
. Game development in the classroom
. The impact of social media on students, both in the classroom and
without
. Open Source and Microsoft
. The future of the Web
When Andrew ran the technical training days earlier this year, he received
feedback from teachers asking about topics that were more general technology
areas as well as for more technical training, and while he is planning on
another series of free training days later on for specific technologies,
Academic Day is designed to provide free academic discussions and
presentations on general technology areas.
For those interested, Andrew will also talk about programs teachers can use
to excite their students about technology such as Imagine Cup, the world's
biggest technology competition for students aimed at generating socially
responsible technology-based solutions to the world's toughest problems,
DreamSpark for free software, Faculty Connection for a wealth of resources
for use in your own curriculum stream, etc, but the main focus is the topic
areas mentioned above.
Tech.Ed Academic Day is free to attend - simply register your intent to
attend at the website below. If you have any queries, please shoot them
through to me and I can pass them on to Andrew.
For more info on the agenda, or to register:

tion> &linvitation
This day was originally designed as part of the Tech.Ed developer conference
I posted about a couple of months ago, but because Tech.Ed sold out, Andrew
has been able to open it up for educators who want to attend just for the
single day.
Cheers,
