Welcome Kei ngā kārangaranga maha huri noa i te motu, huri noa i te ao, tēnei rā te reo pōhiri kia whakatau mai nei ki uLearn mō te tau 2017. Piki mai, whakatau mai rā. Welcome to you all here at <strong>uLearn17</strong>, in Kirikiriroa (Hamilton). Annually, CORE Education/Tātai Aho Rau and you, get together to participate in the most amazing national showcase for professional development. This event is a part of the continuum of your professional learning and development. In uLearn there exists the opportunity for you and your colleagues to connect in one place and celebrate the very best of education, learning, teaching and collaborating. There is something for all in the extensive programme. No matter how many times you look at the programme, you will be sure to see another very exciting and useful direction to go. Times are constantly changing and, as professionals, we are obliged to look critically at the disruption, assess it and seek to understand what it offers us in supporting learner agency. In keeping with our mission at CORE to, “push the boundaries of educational possibility,” technology delivered via the internet will ensure that you are very well networked. ShowGizmo allows you also to stay completely connected to all that is happening. Additionally, as we have done now since 2014, we bring you CORE Education’s ‘Connected Educator NZ’ (CENZ) to add a new dimension to your experience. There will be a community of professional practice to link to and remain connected with beyond uLearn itself. Connected Educator pulls together online professional learning from across NZ and beyond, to support digitally networked learning. Many events at uLearn are also part of the Connected Educator calendar so follow activities online (#CENZ17 @ConnectEduNZ) and visit the Connected Ed team in the exhibition hall. Enthusiastic thanks go to our valued partners, Harvey Norman, Toshiba, Microsoft, Woods Furniture, HP New Zealand, Sitech Systems, Ruckus Wireless, Allied Telesis, Noel Leeming, Kiwibots, class*, Furnware, Sebel Furniture, and Evaluation Associates, whose support is greatly valued. Thanks to our keynote speakers, spotlight presenters and the hundreds of teachers/principals/facilitators prepared to share their ideas openly with us all. My personal thanks go to the CORE team as well as the Events Centre extended team, who are working hard in support of the conference to ensure its success. Finally, “good on you,” our participants, for taking the time out to come along and for being the essential ingredient that will make <strong>uLearn17</strong> the memorable and lasting learning experience it will be. Nā reira ko te tumanako ka ora te noho ki tēnei hui ā tātau. Noho ora mai. See you in the conference! Nick Billowes Director Development, CORE Education Tātai Aho Rau 3
