Why Join DLTV in 2021?

From the Desk of DLTV’s President Ben Gallagher

Hello everyone in this edition we have some extremely exciting news.

DLTV have just this week signed an MOU with Acer Computing Australia to be our major industry partner for 2021 and possibly beyond.

Many of you will already know Acer, as a premier supporter of education and teachers in both Victoria and  nationally. While predominantly a hardware company, they are very focussed on improving the quality of teaching and learning and optimising the impact of technology within our schools. We are thrilled to be working closely with Acer to find opportunities to work together, which benefit both them and DLTV.

As you are probably aware we are promoting membership for 2021 throughout November and December, and into the new year. This year we have an added benefit for our loyal members.

As we know many schools close their order books late November so you can sign up now and not pay until Term 1 in 2021. Additionally, don’t forget about our 25% discount for existing members and our “gifting” opportunities for all paid members in 2021. Recently we were delighted when two of our new schools “gifted” membership to nearby schools an extremely positive experience for all involved.

Following an eventful 2020, we know that 2021 will be a reinvigorated year for DLTV where we can continue to support our members with relevant content, our conferences, and other great initiatives to make your membership more relevant and meaningful. More news will be coming shortly!

A good example of the type of service our members can participate in was our recent VCE day. This was our first foray into the land of Virtual Conferences and was a great success.

I would personally like to thank the DLTV team and in particular Nathan, our Professional Learning Coordinator, for pulling this altogether, as well as our hard working VCE subcommittee. Kimberley Hall, Education Manager from Google Education also needs a special vote of thanks for supporting us in using the Google Meet platform. It proved to be a great choice for us.

Planning for our 2021 ACCE virtual conference is well under way and we will soon be launching our booking page, as well as whetting your appetites with some of our featured speakers and themes. So don’t forget to put the dates in your diaries March 15th to 19th (running from 4pm to 6pm). For our members you can attend as much or as little as you like for one very affordable price. We are also currently calling for presenters. We know we have many talented educators and researchers within our DLTV community so this is a great opportunity for both personal and professional growth, and we encourage you all to apply by CLICKING HERE.

And as always don’t forget if you need some support or a hand in the DigiTech space reach out to us here at DLTV.
