All teachers are welcome to attend.

1.30 - 2.15 pm : Learning Diaries
This practical session will explore simple content creation. Using the built-in camera, we’ll capture  and edit video and add narration & music. We’ll also discuss how this can be used within the curriculum for assessment purposes.

2.30 - 3.15 pm : Storyboards & Newsletters
Using the iWork suite we will experience how to create storyboards and newsletters to help students evidence their own learning, encourage reflective thought and peer assessment.

3.30 - 5.30 pm : Mobile Learning
This session will demonstrate the key aspects of mobile learning, highlighting the benefits and issues when using such technology within a classroom. We will explore some of the best applications available, focusing on learning and providing examples of successful projects with student outcomes. We will also allow time to discuss the range of mobile devices supported, focussing on embedding them into the curriculum and schemes of work.
