TIE575 Webinar #5: Martin Levins
Channel: Lucy Gray
Date: 08/02/2018

Martin Levins joined us on February 7th! 

Currently president of the Australian Council for Computers in Education (ACCE), Martin was a pioneer of internet use in K-12 education in Australia (his small rural school was the first in Australia and one of the first in the world to be connected to the internet). He has helped a generation of teachers and students through the huge cultural changes of the technological revolution.

Leveraging technical expertise and experience as a Director of Information Technology and hands-on primary, secondary and tertiary educator, he continues to play a leading role as a member of strategic boards and advisory committees.

He has enjoyed a wide readership as the education columnist for Australian Macworld magazine and co-authored the seminal texts: “Bring Your Own Technology” (ACER press, 2012), and “BYOT: The Digital Evolution of Schooling” (Douglas and Brown, 2016).
