My application to present at the EdTech Summit in Sydney was accepted which meant that I was going to join the rest of the MIT2018 team July 9 - July 11, how exciting.
My journey......
Time to whip up a presentation ...... but on what?

Presentation went well, feedback great, relieved to have it over.
Keynote speakers were great there is a link to resources at the end of my blog post.
Dorothy's presentation on Google Keep was one of my favourites, I can see this app making a difference to my life as a teacher and personally too.
Dorothy rocked the demo slam and all my other colleagues presented well. There was a real sense of whanaungatanga and support for each other which was awesome.
Dinner down by the Parramatta river after mixing and mingling with the presenters was a lovely way to end the day.
Day 2 Rooty Hill
More presentations and the pressure was off slightly. I attended two amazing presentations today one on Growth Mindset
DEEP DIVE: The Power of Possibility - Cultivating Growth Mindset in Your Classroom
and

Once Upon our Time - Digital Storytelling with Heart
Once Upon Our Time Digital Storytelling with Heart.
Both presentations were by the same presenter Twitter: @LadyWesner
A dynamic lady who I enjoyed listening to and learning from. Adobe Spark is a great tool and I also enjoyed learning about the 6 words stories and how to used story spine in the classroom.
I also attended one of my colleagues presentations Zac Moran, on video making in the classroom and got some great ideas from him on how I can make some amazing videos easily. This may also come in handy for my inquiry.
Dinner at the Bavarian Restaurant was a nice way to round off the day!
