The iPad Learning Summit in Maynooth University is a professional development and training event for teachers, featuring two days of hands-on and interactive sessions.
The theme of the summit is ‘moving from consumption to curation and creation’, a theme that will support educators who seek to enhance their own practice and the work of their students by adopting more active and creative approaches to teaching and learning. The summit will be suitable for teachers, ICT coordinators and school leaders.
The agenda will contain a range of workshops and featured sessions, allowing attendees to create a personalised timetable to match their interests, ambitions and current ability.
Workshops will include managing information and thinking, content creation and assessment for learning. Featured sessions, which follow curricular or issue-based themes, will include English, Science and Reaching all Learners. Sessions on English and Science will enhance teachers’ capacity to use technology creatively and effectively in the teaching of new curricula.
Who should attend:
- Teachers in an iPad one-to-one school, looking to use the iPad as more than an e-reader.
- PME students looking to gain more experience in developing lesson ideas that can be supported using iPads.
