Digital Technologies Update
Last week I attended the annual EduTECH congress at the MCOC. - Australia’s largest conference and exhibition for educators and EdTech providers.
This is a global two-day conference with over 350 speakers that covers the latest trends, market disruptors, and technologies shaping the education industry.
There were 1000s of people in attendance, from all over the world.
Artificial Intelligence was on everyone’s lips.
One of the highlights for me was hearing Sal Khan speak in person. (read more below)
It was 2 full days of involvement - I listened to educational insights, networked with lots of people, visited many stalls in the Expo Hall and got many ‘show bags’ of free goodies.
The aftermath of this conference is always full on, as all the people I networked with send follow up information.
Below is something all parents should register for.

As Founder and CEO of the nonprofit Khan Academy, Salman seeks to remove the barriers to education that leave over 600 million children lacking basic math and reading skills. His free, world-class curriculum—available to anyone, anywhere has made a massive impact, with the academy’s videos reaching over a billion views. Now, Sal is using the power of AI to make education even more accessible to students around the world. With the introduction of the revolutionary Khanmigo, an AI-powered teaching student, every student now has a personal tutor. In talks, Sal shares how we can revolutionize education with technology, open interaction, and a personalized approach to learning.
Brave new words: How AI will revolutionize education
After the explosion of AI, teachers and parents around the world worried that it would completely undermine education as we know it. But Sal Khan, founder of the non-profit Khan Academy, says that doesn’t have to be the case. “We’re at the cusp of using AI for the biggest positive transformation that education has ever seen,” says Sal.
