Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference

Thank you Lorraine Cameron for your incredible contribution to Spectronics and to the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference, the last few of which would probably never have happened without you. Your attention to detail set a standard that will probably never be met and certainly will never be exceeded. Rest in Peace and Purple Spledour Lorraine.

Sad news to share with the wonderfully enthusiastic supporters of the power of assistive tech/learning support tech to effect real change and independent achievement by students worldwide. http://www.spectronics.com.au/blog/events/no-more-inclusive-learning-technologies-ilt-conferences-hosted-by-spectronics/

Great interview recorded at the Conference last month. By filmmaker Christopher Hills. Interviewing Luis Perez re assistive technology and accessibility ... and future directions.

What did you think of the conference? Tell us. On video. And win! Yes ... another competition!

We had great plans of roving the conference, video camera in hand, asking you to share your thoughts about the conference and to share your favourite takeaway messages. BUT like so many great plans, once the crazy busy runaway-freight-train-like behind-the-scenes stuff started rolling for the conference team, the videos didn't happen. Boo!

So ... now it's over to you! We'd LOVE to hear your thoughts. LOVE to know what you took away from the conference. Tell us on video, and you will be in the running to win one of five ILT2014 Conference Virtual Registrations. Each valued at $375. Entries close Friday 4th July so get those cameras rolling soon!

It doesn't have to be a full production masterpiece. Perfect is the enemy of done right? But a few tips here from our in-house video guy might help.

- If using your mobile to record, it's best not to use the front facing camera (it's poor quality)
- Shoot in landscape mode (the long sided one)
- Make sure you are in a well lighted area with no harsh shadows - we want to see you!
- Consider a microphone or a quiet area - we want to hear you!

Check out our first entry. The wonderful Vlog (Video Blog) from Lisa Lehmann reflecting on the three moments that have changed her life. The third being participation in the ILT2014 Conference. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152464192531252

How to enter? Just post your video up here onto the ILT2014 Conference Facebook Group or send the video files via Dropbox or WeTransfer etc. to [email protected]. You can even use good old snail mail and post it in to the ILT2014 Conference team at Spectronics, PO Box 88, Rochedale, Queensland 4123, Australia. But remember, entries close Friday 4th July!

Email just sent to all delegates, presenters, exhibitors and other participants in the Conference. Shared here too, in case the nasty Junk Folder syphoned it out of your Inbox! News, links, resources and more. Enjoy!

How is that post-ILT2014 Conference withdrawal going? Just checking in! Whew! Hope you have recovered from the awesome rollercoaster ride that was the Inclusive Learning Technologies Conference 2014! Thank you so much for being a part of it with us!
