From the ACS Fellows website page:

Mr Paul Herring

Paul Herring has made a distinguished contribution to ICT as an educator, creating pioneering initiatives to take new and innovative digital technologies into the community by engaging with senior school age students and their parents. This work encompassed technological innovation in software and infrastructure. He is recognised for setting up the first internet connections into Queensland schools via satellite and then demonstrating the value of this then new tool, to enhance the curricula. He went on to influence the course structures of senior level digital courses over many decades as a member of the Technologies Learning Area Reference Group and as a Lead Confirmer for the Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank Digital Solutions subject. This work emphasised how adopting new technologies can lead to the development of new enterprises and applications. He modelled this by creating an application for school fund raising that was spectacularly successful for the schools that used it. – https://www.acs.org.au/professionalrecognition/hall-of-fame/Fellows20232024.html
