Skoolz Out!

**PLEASE NOTE: This conference is now to be rescheduled to September – Please stay posted for more information.

An exciting new PD opportunity for teachers in Melbourne is ‘Beyond The Basics’ which will be held at Coburg Senior Secondary College on August 1st. This event aims to provide teachers with practical ideas and hands on activities that can actually be taken back to their schools – a concept sometimes lost when these types of days inspire you, but don’t quite provide the know-how to get them going in your classroom.

Richard Lambert and myself will be providing two practical sessions for teachers;

Getting started with Web 2.0 (for beginners)

• What does it all mean?
• Why bother?
• What tools do I use?
• How do I get started?
• What does it mean for my class?

Digital Storytelling

• What is Digital Storytelling?
• Why bother?
• Where does it fit into the curriculum?
• Stories from our experiences
• Examples of our work
• Assessing student progress
• Managing students
• Setting up a program for your class or school.

A big congratulations to Connecting Point, and particularly Gary Bass, for getting this concept of the ground and his overall enthusiasm for providing relevant and practical PD for teachers.
