"Dr. Orlando's insights on children's technology use and family well-being are crucial to driving industry awareness of the need to create healthy relationships with digital media and devices. This is highly meaningful and important work to ensure our industry maintains focus on audience needs and the evolving technology behaviours of children." (2020)

“Dr Joanne Orlando's keynote on 'Ethical approaches to supporting young people's technology use' at the Centre for Educational Enterprise's 2019 conference, Learning for Tomorrow: The Digital Imperative, was incredibly insightful. With recent bans on mobile phones across Australian schools, Joanne's talk reminded us to take a balanced approach, educate and communicate with our kids instead of buying spyware or banning technology. Empowering our young people will develop skills they will need for the future. Bans will only do this generation of digital natives a disservice. Joanne delivered an engaging presentation, and highly recommend Joanne's expertise to parents and educators.”

“It was a huge honour to have Joanne as our opening speaker for the 2019 Western Australia Education Summit. Her powerful and engaging keynote focussed on uses of artificial intelligence in the classroom and revealed implications associated with their use. Exploring the relationship between AI and language, and what that means for education was not only fascinating but very relevant to our audience, and perfectly set the scene for the rest of the day's events. The feedback on the day was incredible and we have had many schools seek further information on Jo's work since the event”. (2019)

"Jo was a dynamic and engaging keynote speaker who bought fantastic energy to our conference last month. Jo's presentation topic of De-mystifying 'digital transformation' for educational leaders tackled many of the key challenges being faced by education leadership in the Middle East when it comes to technology adoption and implementation. Jo combined theory and practice to fully engage the delegates and I loved the way that she included accessible tools and tips which could be taken back and applied across many educational settings in the MEA region. Jo was an absolute delight to work with from beginning to end and I hope we can work together again in the future" (2019)

At Ipswich Libraries' “Parenting Digital Children” program recently, Dr Joanne Orlando presented a practical, informative and highly relevant session to parents, providing them with achievable and valuable tips to find a family/technology balance. Her knowledge in this area is amazing and feedback received highlighted how relevant the presentation was to attendees' own situations. Joanne was excellent to work with and made planning the event a smooth and easy process. She was friendly and professional and shared her knowledge to our community members in a warm, relaxed manner. A great speaker.” (2019)
