Cliftons Training Facility, 200 George St, Sydney
We invite you to take part in a week long series of hands-on Web 2.0 workshops facilitated by Web 2.0 guru Chris Smith. Whether you are new to Web 2.0 or have been using web 2.0 for teaching and learning in your school, these highly hands on workshops are designed to be relevant and beneficial for all. Through these workshops participants will become more familiar with Web 2.0 tools, websites and applications. Participants will also be involved in ongoing discussions about how these tools could be used in classroom to support the learning of students.
Be better prepared as the digital education revolution – NSW program progresses to its full implementation in 2012.
Workshops are conducted in a fully set up and professional computer training room. Personal computers are supplied. We advise participants to use computers provided not laptops to ensure smooth running of the day.
Maximum of 40 delegates per session
A wide range of sessions available to suit all levels of experience
Beyond Powerpoint
Full Day session: 9.00-12.15am & 12.45pm - 5.00pm
If students are bored with ppt then these alternatives will stimulate. Are you or your students becoming bored using PowerPoint as the main tool for producing presentations ... are you or your students suffering from "Death by PowerPoint" or "PowerPointlessness"? .... then this session is designed specifically for you (or your students).
We will look at some of the alternatives for spicing up presentations and making them more exciting ... not only using software but also web 2.0 online applications.The alternatives chosen are mainly free, can be learnt in just a few minutes by teachers with very little experience and make use of the slides you have already produced in your old PowerPoints.
We will also look at ways in which students can build and share their presentations collaboratively. In addition you will be shown where to find free (legal) digital resources for presentations (images, videos and sound files) .... and clarify how to copyright your own resources.
Please note that this is NOT a workshop about PowerPoint although we will be spending time at the beginning covering some of the mistakes students make when presenting and also ensuring we all have at least the basic skills of reducing file sizes and exporting slides.
These sessions are designed to be of relevance to:
teacher librarians and classroom teachers in both primary and secondary schools and across all subject areas
support the work of ICT co-ordinators
raise awareness of practical application of web 2.0 tools in teaching and learning
be of interest to senior managers who wish to better their understanding of the new online tools and collaborative opportunities for teaching and learning and teacher professional development
