For the next three days I will be taking part
in the 2014 ACEC: Now It’s Personal. What is that? ACEC is Australian Computers
in Education Conference; this year’s theme is now it’s personal.
For the first time ever they are having
students participate at the conference to give their perspective and ultimately
their voice in their learning. I’ve been lucky enough to be one of the students
getting to be part of this awesome experience. For the next three days I’ll be
listening to keynote speakers, sitting in on workshops, tweeting about the
conference, blogging about it and I will even be on stage on the last day
giving my opinion as a bit of a follow up of the conference. I’m only slightly
excited.
I of course will still be posting on here
about the conference, but there are the other avenues that will be used. To
follow the rest of the digital journalism on this conference there are a few
places you can check out:

Student twitter: @ACECDLs
Student blog: Digital Leaders Australia
Check out previous posts on Digital Leaders
Australia as I have previously done a guest post on there.
Also watch the google hangout about the
conference: ACCELN Hangouts04e21 - Student action: The days of 'voice' are numbered
I have been watching you all tweet up a storm and doing a brilliant job of both reflecting a student voice and challenging speakers and attendees to think about what it means for young people. Keep up the good work, 1 more day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, we are having an awesome time! So exhausting at the end of the day but so, so worth it! Last day tomorrow, keen to see how this wraps up. :)
DeleteAmber your reflections on your blog are great! The fact you reflect so deeply and think about how to turn these into actions back at school is great modelling for staff and your fellow digital leaders.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I can't wait to get back to school and put some of my thoughts into actions.
