Graeme Aitken, Dean of Education at the University of Auckland, argues that we need criteria to assess both the likely and the actual value of innovation in teaching, and that these criteria need to be sourced in the three obligations of teaching.

John Drummond, Blair Professor of Music at the University of Otago, is a composer and music educator. His experience in providing music for operas and in directing opera productions has given him particular insights into the creative process. John's involvement in music education locally, nationally, and internationally, has convinced him of the importance of creativity in the lives of everyone, old and young. In this presentation he invites us to consider how we can open up our minds and find once more the creativity we had as kids, and how technology can stimulate our creative juices.
