Cannon Hill Anglican College, Queensland has hosted the first annual "Australian Summer Schools Graduates’ Initiative" conference. The conference titled "Challenging and Engaging Students for Mathematics in Primary and Secondary" was held on Tuesday 5th August at the Cannon Hill Anglican College and included delegates from over 17 private and public sector schools. The conference is specifically designed to expose mathematics teachers to research and strategies on how to challenge and engage students in the mathematics classroom and work with latest technologies and software with practical applications to the mathematics classroom. Workshops with specialists enabled teachers and administrators to develop a network of schools which promotes the sharing of ideas and resources.

Share IT

This year, Ferny Grove’s Share IT conference, held on 14th August 2008, attracted a record number of delegates, a record number of presentations and a record number of IT firms in the display hall. The conference is renowned as being a hub of sharing and networking with colleagues and experts alike, and this year's event was no exception. Heulab was proud to again be a part of this high level IT event.

Heulab displayed in the presentation hall as well as conducting break out sessions on both math and mindmapping software. The breakout sessions were unique as they not only showcased our unique software but also Toshiba's latest state of the art tablet technologies.

Participants were able to learn more about the software packages and gain a taste for how the software lends itself to the tablet environment. All up, participants were able to walk away with an in depth knowledge of a software and hardware technology solution package and gain an insight into how they worked together.
