Report of the Digi Kids Workshop in Adelaide, July 2008

By Hanan Harrison

Participants of the Adelaide Digi Kids continued to be challenged on their digital journey when they attended Days 3 and 4 of their Hub workshops. Their first challenge was to develop and create a claymation. The focus was not only to develop skills for the production, but also to develop a philosophy of technology integration where participants would reflect critically on their own pedagogical practices, to develop a meaningful context for introducing claymation as an additional medium for story telling, which could be used to support various literacy outcomes including recount, narratives and procedural genres, as well as a tool for reinforcing other curriculum outcomes.

Communicate, Collaborate and Create

ccc flyerThe Australian National Schools Network would like to invite all interested teachers (P-12) to attend our 2 day workshop titled Communicate, Collaborate and Create which allows participants to actively investigate and explore the potential of on-line tools and their capacity to radically change education in the future.

Throughout the hands-on workshop participants will explore and create their own on-line tools including (but not limited to) blogs, wikis and podcasts, within an educational context.  This workshop will challenge teachers thinking about what could happen to education if these tools become mainstream as an integral tool for learning.

Interactive Whiteboard Hub 2009 - Information sessions

For the last 2 years the Australian National Schools Network has been facilitating a new professional learning program for teachers focusing on the use of interactive whiteboards in the classroom. Over 200 teachers have taken part in the program since 2006 and participants gain a wealth of technical knowledge as well as taking part in the pedagogical discussions around the question “How do interactive whiteboards improve teacher pedagogy and student learning outcomes?”

During August and September we would like to give you and your school the opportunity to attend an information session to learn more about the Interactive Whiteboard program being offered again in 2009.
