MEET TRISTAN
A teacher who gets it — because he's still in it.
Hey, I’m Tristan Heron — an Education Innovation & Growth Specialist and the founder of Evolve EdTech and the Empowered Educator Hub.
I’ve been teaching in primary and secondary schools since 2011, and I understand the realities of busy, complex classrooms. My passion for educational technology began early in my career, when I saw how the right tools could strengthen engagement and learning — not replace good teaching, but support it.
That led me to found Evolve EdTech and build the Empowered Educator Hub — a professional learning space built to help educators grow their skills, their confidence, and their impact inside and beyond the classroom.
Education is evolving. I’m here to help you lead it with clarity and purpose.

The Free EdTech Conference Every Teacher Should Know About in 2026
Professional learning should not feel like another burden on an already full teacher workload.
It should be practical.
It should be inspiring.
It should be flexible.
And most importantly, it should be genuinely useful.
That is exactly why we created The Tech-Ready Teacher Digital Conference at Evolve EdTech.
At a time when educators are balancing more than ever, professional learning needs to fit real lives and real classrooms — not add more pressure.
Why We Created the Conference
Too often, teacher professional development can feel:
Expensive
Inconvenient
Time-consuming
Overwhelming
Too theoretical
Disconnected from classroom reality
Many educators leave sessions inspired for a day… then unsure how to apply anything on Monday morning.
We wanted to change that.
The Tech-Ready Teacher Digital Conference was designed for real educators in real classrooms who want practical ways to build confidence with educational technology and prepare students for a changing future.
Whether you are highly confident with EdTech or only just dipping your toes into the digital waters, this conference is for you.
What Makes It Different?
1. Completely Free
Yes, genuinely free.
High-quality professional learning should be accessible, not locked behind expensive tickets.
2. Fully Online
No travel costs. No relief lessons. No long drives after school.
Learn from wherever you are.
3. On Demand
Every session is pre-recorded, meaning you can learn when it suits you:
After school
On the weekend
During holidays
During planning time
Whenever life allows
That flexibility matters for busy educators.
4. Ongoing Access
Once you register, you become part of the community for life.
That means continued access to:
Previous conference sessions
Helpful resources
Future conference content
New learning added over time
This is not a one-week event and goodbye.
It is a growing professional learning hub.

Inside the conference, you will find:

No fluff.
No overwhelm.
Just meaningful professional learning that helps you teach smarter.
Why EdTech Confidence Matters in 2026
Technology is shaping the world our students are entering.
They will need to navigate digital tools, think critically, collaborate online and adapt to constant change.
Educators deserve professional learning that helps them confidently guide that journey.
At Evolve EdTech, we firmly believe technology should never replace great teaching.
But when used with purpose, it can amplify it.
That is where the real opportunity lies.
