Ulearn has always prided itself on encouraging young people to participate in conferences in “meaningful ways”.

This year eTime will again provide support for the Student Showcase sessions in breakout 2 and 3 on Wednesday in the Town Hall Cambridge Room . These are two highly interactive breakouts where conference attendees have the opportunity to talk directly with digital learners – students from a number of Canterbury primary schools who are supported in their learning by eTime will be demonstrating, sharing and answering questions about their ICT supported learning experiences.

We will also have a large group of students in the Conference media team. This group will be interviewing delegates, filming keynote and spotlight presenters and developing newsletters, podcasts, and vodcasts. Many of these students come back year after year.

This year we also have many student presenters providing their “Life on the other side” view.

Christ’s College and St Margarets students also support presenters acting as hosts and tech crew for the 400 + workshops.

Altogether these students are actively involved in all areas of Ulearn.
