Auckland GAFE Conference

Registration is open for the GAFE (Google Apps For Education) conference. This is held at Hobsonville Point Secondary School in the Term 1 holidays. Being a Beaker, I intend to go to this (I went to it two years ago and it was really worthwhile). But not just for Beakers, there is something for everyone. If anyone else is interested, please let me know by this Friday (the 12th) as we could put in a small group PD application to share transport and accommodation costs. continue »
