Event details
Whether playing a game, flying a drone, or just being on social media, today’s students are constantly interacting through the digital world. They engage heavily with technology in and outside of school, and teachers need to be harnessing this engagement to improve learning in all classrooms. We are no longer in the era of DigiTech being taught just in the computer lab.
Participants in this full day workshop will explore why Digital Technologies is a vital area for their students, will develop their ability to articulate the Digital Technologies and Digital Literacy curricula and be an exemplar of change within their school. A detailed curriculum walk-through with practical activities to enhance concepts will be undertaken. Opportunity for deeper investigation relevant to the particular audience will be provided.
Pedagogical models will be used as a self and whole school reflection tool for participants. Excellent support resources will be identified and shared. How Digital Technologies and Digital Literacy can be addressed across subject areas will be a feature of the workshop. This workshop is specifically designed to expand and sharpen knowledge, skills and dispositions of the Digital Technologies curriculum and best practice pedagogy for teachers of students in the Primary Years.
