  5. Geelong eLearning Conference Friday September 5th Keynote Speaker Andrew Douch 2008 Curriculum Innovation Award Winner ‘Embracing Emerging Technologies’ Andrew Douch teaches at Wanganui Park Secondary College in Shepparton. He has taught for 18 years and is passionate that great teachers need not be “tech-savvy” but willing to take risks. What we need in the 21st Century is not teachers with computer skills, but teachers with new ideas and minds open to change. Andrew shows how it is possible on a shoestring budget and with very little technology know-how, to redefine a classroom, connecting students with each other, and with teachers and others, using podcasts, discussion boards, MSN and mobile phones to make learning relevant and exciting. His students, and 3000 others from 22 countries, connect to the classroom at any time of day or night, from any internet connection to participate in his online global learning community.
