Future Ready Learning
Date: | 21-Mar-15 to 22-Mar-15 |
Location: | NIST / Bangkok / Thailand |

At the core of a DEEP Learning event is our belief in the concept of differentiated learning. The strands arrangement of the conference is the first level at which participants can maximise their personal learning experience across areas of interest. Apple technologies and Google Apps for Education form the two brand associated pedagogical strands while the third is left open-ended. Examples of focus points might include pedagogical theory, digital citizenship, visual literacy, digital story telling or grade level categories.
The next level of personalisation comes from the ability to further fine tune your experience based on the morning discovery sessions. During these 20 minute sessions workshop leaders introduce, demonstrate, and share their topics. These involve examples, demonstrations, direct classroom connections and challenges that allow participants to make informed decisions about which workshops to attend in the afternoon.
Takeaway Projects
The challenges presented to attendees during discovery sessions are designed to help you develop ideas for your Takeaway Project. This should be something that you create and can bring back to your school community, teachers, classes, and/or students. Your assigned group leader will be able to check for understanding and essentially “assess” that learning was complete through the development, to some stage, of a usable product.
If we consider our morning introduction as "discovery" then the afternoon workshops are the chance to engage, experience and participate in an inquiry-based challenge. Workshop leaders act as a facilitators for the participant-led challenges. Depending on the type of workshop you should expect a maximum of 10 minutes direct instruction as a group before embarking on your challenge.
These DEEP sessions are fuelled by “Challenges” to accomplish. The challenges are introduced and facilitated by the and supported by presenters.
