Part 1 features Adobe Education Leader Adrian Bruch sharing ways Photoshop can be used to colour illustrations and transform graphics with the new Neural filters.
Part 2 features the amazing Peter Hutton from Future Schools who spoke about educational professionals setting themselves as part of a progression rather than employees out a particular school. He also shared about his new book – Turning Around A Troubled School : A journey of school renewal.

It was such a pleasure to do a face to face keynote presentation at the 2022 NSW Institute of Education conference at the Sydney Masonic Centre on Thursday 17th March.
About 300 teachers from a range of technology areas and NSW regions attended this event. Adobe Educatuon Leader Craig Daalmier-Power and I also ran four workshop sessions over two days covering applications such as Adobe Animate, Character Animator, Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
During the keynote, I introduced them to the new Adobe Creative Cloud Express and received lots of positive comments throughout the event relating to how these tools can be used in a range of curriculum areas.
I would like to congratulate the ITE Conference committee for organising such a such a successful event especially following all the floods and COVID related issues that have faced NSW schools this year.
