On June 23, 26, 27 and 30, five teachers from Monte Vista Christian School in California are presenting an iPad Conference as part of the Australasian leg of their Speaking Tour – and you’re invited to join them.

Hosted by schools around the country and co-ordinated by Cyclone, this day will allow you to see aspects of their journey and what they have discovered on the way, through a series of presentations and workshops on iPad use in the classroom. The content will mostly be aimed at Middle School and Secondary Levels.

Numbers are limited to 100 people. Due to the amount of interest we have this will be done on a first come first served basis.
