Learning objectives/outcomes
After the workshop, the participants will be able to…
How many apps do we need? As few as possible!
Learn to how to choose a good educational app and how we minimize apps to maximise learning.
How do teens' experiences on social media influence their body image? Today’s pre-teens and teens not only have the ability to share their thoughts, their photos, and their personal videos, they also have 24-hour-a-day access to feedback from others.
Flipped learning allows students to learn at their own pace, have more control of their learning and learn in ways that fit their style.
Flipping more than simply recording a 40-minute lecture to post online for student viewing at home. While technically, this is one way to “flip,” it simply doesn’t fit the way students learn. The workshop will describe four ways to flipped learning and three steps to keep in mind for a more successful flipped learning.
This workshop will explore how the iPad/ iPod Touch can create a new type of learning experience on a school excursion. Students will be in charge of their learning by having control in their hands to develop their problem solving skills- map reading, geolocation, finding direction, communication as well as handling text, audio and video.
We will be looking into multimedia access, connectivity, capture and analytical tools enhanced on the iPod Touch. All the hands-on activities will allow students to build up a 3D landscape of the world they are living in. They will evident their learning journal which could be added into their digital portfolio.

Is media multitasking an important modern-day skill or a disruptive and damaging habit?
Technology isn’t going anywhere. But multitasking — specifically media multitasking — is a concern. Some adults feel like kids may benefit from learning how to work with disruptions, since they’re going to need this skill for their entire lives. On the other hand, research shows that media multitasking can have a negative impact on school performance.
Evidence from psychology and brain research suggests that when students multi task while doing their schoolwork, their learning is far spottier and shallower than if the work had their full attention.
