Hear from actual teachers and education leaders from all around Australia about their experiences with our Professional Learning Programs.
"Working with Steve over the many years has been an absolute pleasure. His professionalism, creativity, and ability to engage students is truly outstanding. The workshops he led were not only well-structured and insightful, but also inspiring and highly interactive. Students left feeling motivated, empowered and equipped with practical skills they could immediately apply. Steve has a unique gift for connecting with young people, making complex ideas accessible and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Steve’s workshops to any school or organisation looking to provide meaningful learning experiences that leave a lasting impact."
Stephanie Spicer - Program Leader / Enrichment at St Josephs Nudgee College , Boondall QLD.
"We have been lucky enough to have Steve visit the College regularly to provide advice and professional learning to our staff. When we first embarked on our 3D creation journey at Canterbury we consulted with Steve to find out what tools were out there and which would be the best to use in our context.
Steve was a great source of knowledge and introduced us to programs such as Sweet Home 3D and Lego studio 2.
The inclusion of these programs in our courses have allowed students to produce some fantastic 3D scenes.
Steve also worked with us to set up our Mixed Reality systems in our Digital Hub. The Acer headsets connected to our Windows 10 consoles have been a great way for students to view and share their own 3D creations.
He has also delivered engaging workshops to our students on 3D creation using a wide variety of digital tools.
Steve’s knowledge, skills, enthusiasm and own adventures in 3D creation make him the perfect choice for professional learning in all areas related to Digital 3D object and scene creation."
James Jenkins - Head of AI & Digital Transformation at Canterbury College , Waterford QLD.
"We had Steve Iuliano come to Canterbury College and work with myself and a group of students, teaching us how to use Studio 2.0, and Sweet Home 3D.
As a Technology teacher, I would strongly recommend Steve's programs to anyone trying to build their toolkit for Technology and other Creative Industries subjects. The programs being taught are laptop friendly and much quicker to learn than the industry standard programs. The students were super engaged in the activities and they learnt a lot in a short period of time. Steve's passion for teaching and technology was evident as he shared his knowledge and experience with the group. He exceeded my expectations with his engaging personality and willingness to share additional knowledge as questions arose - showing his broad range of experience and expertise. He made strong connections to creative thinking and communication, showing them that they can use these tools and skills, in their many and varied future pathways. This was a great experience."
Chelsea Roos - Design & Technology Teacher at Canterbury College , Waterford QLD.
"It was a tremendous benefit to be able to tap into the educational insights and perspectives of Steve Iuliano."
Jan MacNamara - Former Director of ICT at John Paul College , Daisy Hill QLD.
"Steve Iuliano gave a presentation to all of the Year 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 students at our school with the first week of all of the students receiving their new Surface devices. The first session was an orientation session for their new devices and he engaged the students in the presentation, by using questioning and demonstration. The second session was a creative session where students used creative tools, augmented reality and 3D design. Steve was able to relate the tasks to school based assessment and allowed students time for creativity. The pace was quick enough to keep the students engaged. The support materials provided were also very useful. I would highly recommend Steve, and found that his previous teaching experience was very useful in using pedagogies to engage the room. It has been very easy to liaise with Steve and organise the training."
Jo Spring - Former Director of Innovation and Learning at Emmanuel Anglican College , Ballina NSW.
"I thought the Professional Learning session was amazing and left my mind buzzing with ideas. Was great to see such an engaging program that would easily link to so many curriculum areas. Can’t wait for more PL on this topic and to start using it in the classroom!"
Mark Roberts - Year 5 Teacher at St Martin's , Greenachres Adelaide SA.

"Steve has been an integral part of the annual Technology Induction for Queensland Academies Creative Industries Campus (QACI) for several years. His contribution to the induction process has been invaluable, both in terms of his technical expertise and his engaging presentation style.
Steve has worked with students and faculty to introduce a range of technologies and software platforms, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office Suite, and various digital learning tools. His ability to demystify complex systems and make them accessible to all learners has greatly enhanced the learning experience at QACI.
Staff consistently express appreciation for Steve’s clear communication, patience, and willingness to tailor his sessions to meet the needs of different cohorts. His sessions are not only informative but also inspiring, encouraging both students and teachers to explore new possibilities in digital creativity and productivity.
Steve’s professionalism, creativity, and commitment to education make him a valued collaborator and a trusted expert in his field."
Jennie Jennie - Former Head of Department of Learning and Business Queensland Academies Creative Industries Campus (QACI) , Brisbane QLD.
"I had anticipated that it would be far above my head, but the excellent workshop notes, visual supports and hands-on presentation have really made me feel more confident and excited about the huge potential of our device use with my clients. I also feel more confident in assisting parents to use this tool more effectively as a therapy resource, rather than simply a sophisticated toy."
Roberta Kehren Speech Pathologist & Clinical Education Support Officer Mater Health Services , Brisbane QLD.
"Great Learning with Mac programs. I now know the basics to work with my computer."
Natalie - Kindy Teacher at St Michael's , West Sydney NSW.

Chris Greenough - Regional I.T. Supervisor, Diocese of Sale , Morwell VIC.
"Thank you for a highly engaging and fun workshop for our staff. The staff are super keen to try all the new techniques and ideas you shared throughout the workshop. Your passion for the design and digital technologies curriculum inspires our teachers to think outside the square in delivering an engaging curriculum for our students."
Cheryl Bell - Former Assistant Principal, St Joseph's , Bracken Ridge QLD.
"Steve is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and has a strong ability to match the level of his audience. We requested follow up sessions ( to cater for our online students in diverse locations ) which was requested after an on-campus experience was so well received. We very much appreciate having access to this useful professional support for our preservice teachers."
