The programme provides for all Primary and Secondary teachers, and while developing themes, is also varied, and we urge you to pass this information on to colleagues who may be interested in all or part of the programme.
 
We will begin with a Keynote Address by Dr Karsten Schulz, Principal Engineer of the Digital Technologies Institute, a sponsor of  theDigital Technologies Institute https://www.digital-technologies.institute/ #ECAWA 2025 State Conference,  entitled Decoding Generative AI: How It Works and What It Teaches Us About Learning

Karsten Schulz will also present  Binary Numbers and what they do inside the Computer This workshop comes with an Amazement Alert. Dr Schulz says,  “Participants will be able to hold an actual Variable in their hands! “
 
The Sunday Keynote Address, Tools, Not Toys by Dr Damien Kee, an independent technology expert, discusses a concept that seeks to ensure educators are using Technology in educationally relevant ways, not just to follow the latest fad of the time.
 
Damien Key looks at some specific tools in a series of workshops:
 
We are lucky enough to have Catherine Newington of the ACS ICT Educators with us again this year, too. 
 
Catherine is presenting some workshops that will be of enormous value to teachers, especially at this early stage of the school year, and particularly to teachers who are new to Digital Technologies – or teaching in general. See them at: 
Also, be sure to check out the presentation by David Donnelly, Principal Consultant Curriculum and Assessment for Technologies at the School Curriculum and Standards (SCSA) who will be showing you what you need to know and help you in planning for the implementation of the new Digital Technologies curriculum for Pre-primary to Year 10, from the start of 2026, in his presentation Digital Technologies Familiarisation- what has changed in the new Digital Technologies curriculum for Pre-primary to Year 10
 
Michelle Chomiak from St Mark’s Anglican Community School will present Unlocking STEM with Ham Radio, a workshop that is attracting wider interest in the community.
 
Courtney Weaver of Sprok.it Technologies Education  and Simon Fittock of AISWA will be speaking about Digital Literacy: A Case Study of WA Schools  and promise that you will come away from their presentation with practical support and suggestions on how to implement a school-wide approach to Digital Literacy.           
 
Again, we urge you to pass this information on to colleagues who may be interested.
