About
Placing easy to use digital tools in the hands of our students can lead them to build very creative solutions such as tutorials to help classmates learn.

We know that many children prefer to learn from their peers, and giving our students a sense of purpose by contributing to learning can be one of the most powerful and effective ways of improving achievement for all students.

We have under estimated the capacity of our students to lead and contribute to their learning community. Join Alan November as he asks the question, ‘who owns the learning?’

Participants will learn how to:

• Motivate students in the most powerful way – provide purpose
• Dramatically improve students’ work ethic to produce work of high quality
• Redefine the role of learner as contributor, collaborator, and leader.
• Increase participation from the whole class through the 6 forms of student contribution
• Enable student collaboration and content creation through some easy online tools
• Create stimulating and motivating assignments
• Facilitate the solving of real life problems and contributions to community
• Allow teachers to gain control over their time, and devote more attention to personalising instruction

About
The evolution of technology in education requires a rethinking of the humble classroom. The old standard of 30 students in a box is making way for contemporary learning spaces that are more engaging and effective for all.

The transformations of physical learning spaces are dramatic, as schools, universities and colleges assess alternative pedagogical paradigms. At the same time, these new approaches are being adopted in the virtual learning world, as more and more classrooms move online.

Discover how your school or campus can adapt to educational and technological change. Learn how to create inspiring new physical and virtual learning environments, in this inspiring masterclass from Stephen Heppell.

Participants will learn how to

• Design agile physical spaces that are most conducive to current and future learning practices
• Apply Stephen’s ‘Simple Rule of Three’ for third millennium learning spaces
• Involve students in educational design

About:
New technology tools such as the Internet, mobile devices, social technologies, and cloud computing are integrating to create massive changes in society.  How we acquire information, do transactions, get entertained, perform in our careers, and connect with each other are dramatically different today than just ten years ago.  This is driving the need for a renaissance in the education field so that the students we are responsible for growing will be able to survive and thrive in a world that is quickly changing.

Scott Klososky brings a unique viewpoint to the education space because he is a businessman and technologist who regularly works in the education field.  He has an ability to clearly paint pictures as to how we can redefine learning - not only for students, but for the rest of our lives. He will challenge your thinking about leadership, technology and the education field and through that process, provide pages of notes for you to take back and consider implementing.
