When tech is meaningfully integrated into classroom practice, it has the potential to transform teaching and learning. This workshop gives participants a hands-on experience in designing learning that meaningfully integrates technology
Individuals use emerging technologies based on their existing beliefs, perceptions and practices. To change the culture of a school we need to start with supporting, equipping and empowering users. This workshop provides the tools for this.
Change will remain a pipe-dream until we purposefully and deliberately design a change plan to achieve it. In this workshop, participants create a roadmap to change towards achieving an eCulture.
Institutional policies, guidelines and operating procedures create the environment in which technology can be used responsibly and effectively. This workshop prepares participants to create enabling environments for change.
A culture of meaningfully integrating emerging technologies needs to be cultivated in schools.
Cultivating a culture takes time, planning and careful design.
An eCulture needs to be supported by institutional and individual enablers.
INDIVIDUALS change their practice and create a school's culture. Supporting INDIVIDUAL change is critical to supporting institutional change.
