The ICTENSW 2025 DigiTLL Conference was held at ACU in North Sydney on the weekend of March 15 & 16, 2025. Involving about 150 teachers in-person and online, this event was an educational summit advocating on matters of curriculum and equity, promoting best practice in the use of AI, ICT, STEM and Computer Science in learning. 

Adobe Creative Educator (ACE) – Innovator Matt Esterman was the opening keynote presenter. He was very thought provoking, sharing a number of points about AI in Education from his new book The Next Word that he wrote with ACE-Leader Dr Nick Jackson.

Adobe Creative Educator – Innovator Brett Salakas was the opening keynote on the Sunday and he dressed up as an Lord from the Elizabethan era and shared a number of examples of how AI is effectively being use in classrooms around the globe.

Adobe Creative Educator – Leader Greg Stewart was awarded one of three 2024 ICTENSW Regional School Scholarships to help fund his appearance at the conference.

One of the many workshop opportunities involved and opportunity for the teachers to complete the Adobe Creative Educator Level 1 micro-credential.

It was great to see Stephen Henderson (the AI Teacher Guy) and the Director of Innovation at Snowy Mountains Grammar School do a workshop presentation

I had the honour of presenting the closing keynote presentation titled – Creating joyful learning experiences with AI.
