Following the success of ULearn06, CORE Education Ltd is preparing for ULearn07 which will take place in Auckland from 3-5 October 2007. There will also be an option of an in-depth day-long pre-conference workshop on 2 October. 

With a focus on integrating new technologies to empower learning and transform leadership, ULearn07 will provide a package of professional learning that can be effectively and directly applied in teaching and learning environments. Catering for all educators, from Early Childhood to Tertiary, ULearn07 is a highly relevant, inclusive and practical conference that includes a comprehensive programme of pre-conference workshops.

Renowned for attracting top quality speakers, the ULearn07 organisers, CORE Education, will ensure New Zealand teachers hear from leading practitioners from New Zealand and around the world.

An exceptional trade expo will feature all of the key players in the industry and enable educators to network and learn more from these sector providers.

ULearn07 gives delegates the much sought-after opportunity to meet and share with fellow educators from all over New Zealand and overseas. The common ground often discovered can form the basis of ongoing and rewarding collaboration to explore the issues and ideas that emerge in their professional practice.

Teachers will still be able follow a theme or dip into areas of interest but there will be greater emphasis on creating a professional learning platform where delegates are active participants in their own learning.

The conference will provide teachers with a unique opportunity to:

• Discover common ground through conversation and discussion with other teachers.
• Improve their knowledge of and expertise in new technologies by participating in the many breakout sessions on offer.
• Get ideas and strategies for integrating these technologies into the learning experience of their students.
• Hear about policy changes/direction from senior New Zealand Ministry of Education staff.
• Be inspired by world leading thinkers in the field of education and new technologies.
• Try out the latest technological wares on offer at the trade expo.

NZ Education's 'Ten Key Questions' cover Leadership, e-communities of practice, curriculum, assessment, learning and teaching, vision and values, pedagogy and practice, diversity, and student perspectives. These will provide the essence of the two stands of 'Learners' and 'Leaders' that support the main goals for Ulearn07.
