2009 More Than Gadgets Conference – Part 1

Hi Everyone

What a great inaugural More Than Gadgets Conference last week in Perth. Practical, informative and challenging workshops and presentations were the order of the day. There was a great buzz amongst the participants as we explored the challenges presented to us when implementing assistive technologies in schools and beyond. The bar has certainly been set high for the next conference!
