It’s been a weekend of calm and quiet to reflect on an incredibly busy week at Bett Global. My highlight, without a doubt, was being given the opportunity by Apple to share some inspiring stories of learning from my students during my Creativity on iPad workshops.
In these 45 minute sessions I shared three stories of impact and went behind the scenes on how iPad made them all possible. We started by exploring how to build some incredible 3D models in Tinkercad Education which students can then view and explore in Augmented Reality. Next up we played with some fun and unusual Green Screen projects – with the added bonus of not having to waste half a lesson setting up equipment! I finished the workshop with a story of impact unlike any other – how one incredible Freeform board resulted in a group of my students going to America to compete against students from all around the world. A true story of technology enabling the very best types of learning: creative, student-driven and empowering.
It was a honour to be able to share these stories with attendees, but I realise there were people who sadly didn’t make it through the waitlist due to the sessions being very popular! I’ve put together a blog post with all of the details of these three activities, as well as some video resources to help you jump straight in with these in your classrooms. I’ll link it in the comments below.
A massive thank you to Peter, Alan and Alex for inviting me to do these workshops and of course to everyone who came along and got stuck into the activities with me!
