 It's all about understanding that this is not about technology. It's not about computers. It's not about just having new ways, new systems, new methods. But it is about learning and understanding what learning is about and recognizing that in the 21st century, learning without technology is just not learning. For me it's all about creating opportunities for children that wouldn't exist otherwise. While some people are excited about using the computers to help kids learn things that they've always, that we've always wanted them to learn, maybe with greater efficiency or efficacy or comprehension or stickiness, what excites me is that there are now genuine opportunities for kids to be actively engaged in constructing knowledge in ways and in domains that would be completely off limits to them without the presence of computers. It's all about tapping into the innate desire in every young child to learn about helping them become better individuals to have a better life for themselves and for all the people in their communities that they come into contact with. So what's it all about? For me it's about learning, not necessarily e-learning or m-learning, it's about learning. And as an educational researcher, I'm interested in the impact of technology on people's development of consciousness and the development of cognition. So for me, I'm also interested in the impact of the technology on how we organise schools and school systems and on curriculum. And these are the things that I'm curious about. So as an academic and as an educational researcher, for me it's about asking the big unanswered questions about technology and education. It's all about people. It's about the relationships between students and teachers. It's about making those relationships work and the use of technology to support those relationships and to help learning to be at its best and most effective in the 21st century. It's all about learning. It's all about creating really exciting environments in the classroom where children can develop their thinking and learn to enquire and to solve problems. It's about making the classroom a really exciting place for children and students to learn. It's all about sharing best practice in ways we can provide more education to more people with more impact. It's all about empowering the teachers and the learners. It's all about providing digital opportunities for the digital generation and the digital age. It's all about sharing. It's all about moving the next step in teaching and learning. It's all about transforming education. It's all about creating community. The conference is about networking people, bringing people together so we can collaborate, share with each other and learn from each other. It's all about constantly challenging why it is that we're doing this. We're doing it to create learners who in the future can really start to innovate, start to create and constantly be adapting themselves as new learners. It's all about looking at new ways in which we can start to personalise learning for individuals and about looking at ways in which we can create a world around them that they can truly transform and adapt to. It's all about enabling student voice and empowering students to be a true stakeholder in their own education.
