Conference sessions will be organised into a series of tracks. The tracks should be viewed more as clusters of interests. The tracks inevitably overlap; for example a presenter of a paper about a school geography game may wish to focus more on the digital, electronic aspect or on the educational aspect. The tracks are flexible and will probably evolve as proposals come in. At the moment, we have established the following tracks (and descriptors).
