Whether it’s BYOD or the next big thing, it can feel hard to stay focused on what is important for our learners in this ever-changing digital landscape. We cannot future-proof ourselves but we can ensure we have approaches in place to feel confident to meet the challenge of change.
This CORE Breakfast and workshop will take a practical look at ways in which teachers and school leaders can use existing tools and approaches to stay focused on what’s important for our learners, and ourselves.
This session will offer an opportunity to unpack and explore an e-learning-related inquiry or context that is relevant to your school. This might be a learning experience for the classroom or an aspect of strategic planning.
We will discuss practical approaches for using technologies appropriately, and share real-world experiences and stories in which schools use tools like the e-Learning Planning Framework and Enabling e-Learning for review and planning.
Workshop participants will need to bring with them a laptop, an e-learning-related learning experience or aspect of planning that they would like to explore further and a readiness to develop it during the morning.
Please note: places will be limited to 25
