Conferences

Introduction: 

CORE Education organises conferences on Information and Communications Technology in Education (ICT). We have now run many successful educational events and our aim is to build on the growing momentum of the Ministry of Education's ICT PD Clusters project which has made New Zealand a world leader in the successful introduction of ICT for the enhancement of learning at all ages.

We have partnered conferences with our Australian colleagues hosting the very successful Navcon2k2 and Navcon2k4 conferences in Christchurch at which over 1800 delegates participated in 2004. We aim to draw on best practice models from New Zealand and around the world and bring together international and national presenters.

A key focus is on the "teachers for teachers" stream of our programmes where we aim to deliver the best of current educational conference practice - enabling schools to develop transforming learning and teaching practice with, by, and through ICT. We together investigate innovation and successful practice in New Zealand and Australian schools and focus on the development of vision, goals, practices, and programmes that reflect the needs of the 21st Century learner.
