Doug Dickinson’s enthusiasm was amazing. He provided such simple but effective ideas for using digital audio to transform literacy, that ware immediately workable without any extra expense. Thank you so much.

This is the first ICT conference I have ever attended and my over-riding feeling is why haven’t I ever been to one before? It was such a great day and I came away with so many good workable ideas (as well as wishing I had a far bigger budget!). The seminars were an inspiration and the exhibitions a great insight into where I want to go next. Thank you, as always, to the ICT team for all the hard work that must have gone into organising the day.
See you next year!

All exhibitors extremely helpful, without being pushing, understanding the budget constraints on us! Have a wish list ready for new financial year now though.

I agree with Kim, I think I could have spent a whole day listening to Tim, although I really benefitted from the other sessions too. I left his session with some fantastic, yet simple, ideas to share with the rest of the staff at my school.

Yet another fantastic day planned by the team. Tim Rylands hit the nail on the head when he said in the last session how lucky we are in Wiltshire to have Ian and his team. Today was a good mixture of what we can be trying out now and what there is to look forward to in the future. The day was well organised and nicely paced. I didn’t return home reelling from an overload of information, but with some practical tips for enhancing lessons with ICT, without buying expensive software and a clear direction on what I need to be doing next as ICT subject leader.
Thank you.

A really great day – just wish we could have had longer with Tim Rylands – his ideas were brilliant, and I would have liked to have a question and answer session with him to ask about using his ideas in different year groups. Was also good to have all the exhibitors there – to actually see the products working ensures you are better informed when deciding which products to buy. Look forward to next year!

The seminars by Tim Rylands and Doug Dickinson were particularly useful, with some great ideas to take back to the classroom. Thanks.

A great day – thank you. Well organised as always. Inspirational speakers, particularly Tim Rylands and Doug Dickinson, gave us lots to think about…

A great day but very rushed, there was so much more that I would have liked to have heard. All speakers seemed to be trying to squash their great presentations into time slots that were inadequate for the purpose. Maybe next time longer slots could be planned.

Really enjoyed Tim Rylands session, very inspiring but such a shame it was so rushed. I would have liked to have heard much more.
