K-12 Education Leaders Congress 

Technology is evolving, and understanding how we need 

to develop our school leadership strategies and our 

pedagogical practices to evolve with it is crucial. 

Designed for school Principals and their education 

leadership teams, the K-12 Education Leaders Congress 

will delve into the ‘big picture’ visions for technology in 

schools 

Programme can be viewed on pages 3 - 6 

K-12 IT Directors & Managers Congress 

BYOD. The Cloud. Digital Learning. Mobile Learning. 

Personalised Learning. These are concepts that 

are already becoming commonplace in our schools 

– so what will we need 5 years from now? 

The Congress explores how the changing role of 

technology in education specifically affects IT Directors 

and Technical Managers in K-12 schools and will discuss 

how to build, implement and support systems that will 

bring Australian education into the future. 


K-12 Business Managers & Administrators 

Congress 

Managing the influx of new technology into schools, 

understanding which technologies can improve 

efficiencies and knowing which technologies to be 

investing in are just some of the challenges facing 

business administrators in K-12 education. 

The EduTECH K-12 Business Managers and 

Administrators Congress will provide a meeting place 

to discuss how to sustainably deliver on the technology 

vision of K-12 schools.

DAY ONE Monday 

3 June 2013 

K-12 Education Leaders 

7:30 Registration & morning refreshments 

8:30 Opening remarks from the Chair 

Arron Wood, Managing Director, Kids Teaching Kids 

8:45 OPENING KEYNOTE 

Drive: What the science of motivation can teach us 

about high performance 

Daniel Pink, best-selling author of ‘A Whole New Mind’, 

uses four decades of behavioural research to reveal why the 

traditional approach to high performance backfires in the 

classroom, on campus, and in the workplace. With cutting-edge examples 

from both education and business, you will learn the three key ingredients 

of intrinsically-motivated high performers. And you’ll discover how to create 

contexts that tap the deepest motivations of your students and staff to produce 

the highest results. 

In this engaging presentation, Pink: 

• Explains the dangerous mismatch between what science 

knows and what education and business do 

• Shows, with real-life examples, why Motivation 3.0 – built on 

autonomy, mastery, and purpose – is much more effective 

than the 20th century approach to motivation 

• Demonstrates and explains techniques that can help put 

these ideas into action 

Daniel Pink, World’s leading thinker on motivation, innovation and 

creativity, and Author of ‘Drive’ and ‘A Whole New Mind’ (USA) 

10:15 Morning refreshments and exhibition viewing 

10:55 KEYNOTE ADDRESS 

Design Thinking for Genuine Epic-Scale 

Problem-Based Learning 

• See how research on great learning blends with creative practice 

to open up new exploratory, student-led learning. 

• Learn from the creative practices of some of the best media and 

tech companies in the world, with whom Ewan has spent the 

past five years. 

• Find out what the independent and collaborative learning skills 

and processes these growing creative industries, and other 

business, require. 

Ewan McIntosh, Founder & CEO, NoTosh 

11:45 Elevate learning opportunities in a connected and 

collaborative world 

• Empower students and teachers through virtual 

communication and sharing 

• Redefine the curriculum, the school, the teacher and the 

student 

• Rethink assessment: defining competencies and applying 

analytics 

• Engage students to learn forward and create 

Sean Tierney, Academic Programs Manager, Microsoft Australia 

12:15 The school of the future: change management lessons 

from a pioneering school 

The approaches at Northern Beaches Christian School include problem-based 

learning, BYOD and mobile learning. Stephen will present how these and 

other elements have contributed to Northern Beaches Christian School being 

described as “one of the most innovative schools in the world”. 

Stephen Harris, Director & Founder, Sydney Centre for Innovation 

in Learning and Principal, Northern Beaches Christian School

2:15 The creative technology revolution you can’t ignore 

Learning outside of school is being transformed by the trends of tinkering, maker 

culture and personal fabrication. School leaders need to be mindful to embrace 

the major shift in digital learning, married to traditional crafting practices. 

The Maker ethos of constructionism, or learning-by-making through first-hand 

experience will be explored in the context of projects using a range of analog 

and digital “construction” materials. Children can now use technology to create 

and solve their own problems. Affordable tools and materials allow students 

to go farther than was imagined just a few years ago. Junk, high-tech gear, art 

supplies and engineering principles collide to expand human potential. 

Art and science converge and are amplified by computing. When the artificial 

boundaries between subject areas are blurred and every student requires the 

same process skills and tools, the distinction between vocational and academic 

education is obliterated. 

In order for schools to seize the opportunities afforded by this “Maker” spirit, 

educators need more than awareness that the world is changing. They need to 

develop new skills and redesign classroom environments to support learnercentered 

practices. 

Dr Gary Stager, Executive Director, The Constructivist Consortium 

3:00 Shaping and implementing the Australian Curriculum 

• Designing a curriculum that supports 21st century learning 

• Anticipating the requirements of future school leavers 

• Catering to changing ways in which young people will learn 

• Gaining insights on school performance through appropriate 

data collection and analysis 

Prof. Barry McGaw AO, PhD, Chair, Australian Curriculum, 

Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) 

3:25 EduTECH presents… the school play 

Join a group representing players in the school community for a fun hypothetical 

scenario involving BYOD, social media and home-school relations. 

Understand the concerns of a parent, a headmaster, an enthusiastic teacher, a 

“luddite” teacher, an IT director, and a student. 

Find out how your school can smooth communication hurdles, employ 

technology successfully, and help students understand their responsibilities 

online.

Creating space for innovation: reconciling the 

excitement of technology innovation with the 

constraints of curriculum 

In the world of education, technology projects are all too often 

overhyped and under deliver. The challenge is finding the right 

technological innovation to undertake in the first place. Working with school 

leaders around the world, Ewan McIntosh and his team have taken approaches 

from the creative industries, the world of tech start-ups and innovation 

businesses to school technology leadership. The result has been a series of 

compelling projects and long-term innovation that is sustainable both financially 

and in terms of innovation for the school. 

Learn how to harness individuals’ enthusiasm from the chalkface while not 

running against the constraints and values of the whole organisation.

Improving School Administration with Web 2.0 Tools 

Scott will focus on two critical ways schools can use technology to improve 

the back office systems and processes for managing the business side of 

their organisations. 

There are two powerful uses of technology that can really be game changing 

if applied well: 

• The first is using ad hoc work flow systems to redesign 

paper and labour intensive processes so they flow faster and 

with less human involvement 

• The second is the improved use of data in the management 

of students and the learning process 

• By applying the concepts of Business Intelligence and Big 

Data, schools have a wonderful opportunity to dramatically 

improve the ability deliver more customised learning, and to 

have a much better understanding of the general 

performance of the education system. Discover the 

concepts behind these ideas, and the first few steps 

administrators can take to get them in place

publishing, from manufacture to politics, but in comparison to 

some of these sectors education has been relatively 

unflustered, beyond some productivity and engagement 

gains. However, learning is just beginning to experience some 

fundamental changes that will necessarily impact on the way we manage, 

design, finance, organise, teach in, and fill our schools. This session illustrates 

some unmissable certainties about tomorrow’s education. 

Stephen Heppell, CEO, Heppell.Net 



With over 3,000 instructional videos, 300 exercises, and 

3,700,000 unique users per month, Khan Academy is 

rethinking the world of education. Founder Salman Khan 

provides insight into the history and the evolution of Khan 

Academy and how we can rethink education.

The big picture economic changes affecting the

John Somerset, Director, Somerset Education 



Creating Space for Innovation 

Technology can help make schools more efficient and, for 

independent schools, it makes the difference between a 

flourishing learning environment that grows, versus a stagnant 

business where creativity and learning are unnecessarily stifled 

• How does a school leader make the right choices, 

at the right time? 

• What new technologies will be around in five, ten or fifteen 

years’ time to make our lives easier and learning 

more engaging? 

• We are spoilt for choice when it comes to technologies that 

help our schools run more efficiently and our classrooms buzz 

with excitement, so in which basket should business 

managers place their eggs? 

Ewan McIntosh advises independent and state schools large and small, as 

well as Governments with multi-million investments in education to make, and 

draws on these stories and experiences to help form some principles that will 

help business managers and administrators make better calls when it comes to 

running efficient - and exciting - learning spaces. 




National education systems worldwide are being reformed 

to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. As a respected 

adviser to governments in Europe, Asia and the US, Sir Ken 

urges schools and colleges everywhere to rethink their basic 

assumptions about intelligence and achievement. He argues for radical changes 

in how we educate all students to meet the extraordinary challenges of living 

and working in the 21st century. 





• What schools and colleges should do, and how governments 

should help 

Sir Ken Robinson, Internationally Acclaimed Expert on Creativity and 

Innovation; and Author, ‘Out of Our Minds and ‘The Element’

Who owns the learning? Building Learning Communities and Teaching Zack to Think 

Alan November 

Placing easy to use digital tools in the hands of our students can lead them to build very creative solutions such 

as tutorials to help classmates learn. We know that many children prefer to learn from their peers, and giving our 

students a sense of purpose by contributing to learning can be one of the most powerful and effective ways of 

improving achievement for all students. 

Attended By: 

Principals, Deputy and Assistant Principals, eLearning Coordinators, Curriculum leaders 

From: K-12 Education 

Designing future learning spaces - physical and virtual 

Stephen Heppell 

The evolution of technology in education requires a rethinking of the humble classroom. The old standard of 30 

students in a box is making way for contemporary learning spaces that are more engaging and effective for all. 

Discover how your school or campus can adapt to educational and technological change. Learn how to create 

inspiring new physical and virtual learning environments. 

Attended By: 

Principals, Deputy and Assistant Principals, Vice-Chancellors, Pro Vice-Chancellors, eLearning Coordinators, 

ICT Coordinators. From: K-12 and Tertiary Education 

Using Design Thinking to Manage Change, Solve Problems and Foster Innovation. 

Ewan McIntosh 

With technology presenting both a tremendous opportunity and a major disruption to education, how is your 

school responding to the need for change? Whether you are a leader working to create change in your school, 

or a leadership team with a perennial challenge you just can’t seem to overcome, this masterclass will show you 

how accomplish your goals through design thinking. 

Attended By: 

Principals, Deputy and Assistant Principals, Vice-Chancellors, Pro Vice-Chancellors, Heads of Learning, 

Development & Training, Instructional Designers, Heads of HR & Organisational Development 

From: K-12 Education, Tertiary Education, Enterprise and Government 

Technology, Leadership and the changing learning process 

Scott Klososky 

New technology tools such as the internet, mobile devices, social technologies, and cloud computing are 

integrating to create massive changes in society. How we acquire information, do transactions, get entertained, 

perform in our careers, and connect with each other is dramatically different today than just ten years ago. This 

is driving the need for a renaissance in the education field so that the students we are responsible for growing will 

be able to survive and thrive in a world that is quickly changing. 

Attended By: 

CIOs, IT Directors & Managers, Principals, Vice-Chancellors, eLearning Coordinators, ICT Coordinators, Heads 

of Learning, Development & Training. From: K-12 Education, Tertiary Education, Enterprise and Government 

Rapid training resource development in a post PC world: 

Using apple’s iBooks author and other innovative tools to support 70:20:10 learning 

Craig Rispin 

We’re truly living in a Post-PC world: with 100 Million+ iPads and Billions of smart phones globally. 94% of 

Fortune 500 corporates are deploying iPads - and almost every government in the world issues smart phones 

to it’s employees. So why aren’t we seeing more T&D materials in a tablet and smartphone friendly format? 

Especially when we can create learning resources almost instantly with incredible tools from Apple and other 

innovative companies. And how do we support the 70:20:10 model using these new tools? 

Attended By: 

Training & Development Managers, Learning Technologies Managers, Heads of Innovation & Knowledge Management, E-learning 

Managers, Instructional Designers, Library Directors, CIO’s, Heads of Business & Operational Improvement
