Thank you to everyone who helped to make our ECAWA 2021 State Conference – #ECAWA2021 –  such a great day!

Special thanks are due to Christ Church Grammar School for allowing us to use their wonderful IT Centre facilities, and for the support of their staff members.

The Keynote Speaker, Dr Linda McIver,  got the day off to a interesting start for us, and the Presenters, in their various workshops and presentations, kept us informed and interested, and sent us off inspired to try new things.

Thank you especially to all of the Presenters for sharing their expertise and passion for Digital Technologies. The presentations will have impact as we start to prepare for teaching in 2022.
