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.

We are working hard to bring you the current news and important updates for the day.

We hope that you found our newsletter at the Registration desk this morning! If not then please look for it tomorrow.

Look out for the student media team who are looking stylish and happy in their blue and yellow ULearn t-shirts.

The media team will be capturing the spirit of ULearn08 on video. If you are approached by a student for a short interview, don’t be shy! Everyone who takes the time to support our media team will go in the draw to win a prize You can check out what their up to on their team’s wiki.

There is also a wonderful team of student runners supporting each room. These are the people to ask if you have a question or need support for your presentation.
