Activity: Learning Event Generator: 1 hour
Davitt's Online Learning Event Generator – you will use the Excel version on the next slide
By the end of this session you will:• Have selected a “Learning Event” using John Davitt’s Learning
Event Generator• Worked in a group to create a resource• Investigated a tool and resources that use it on the Partners in
Learning Network• Thought about how you could use a tool to teach a concept• Thought about how it felt to use ICT as part of a learning
experience
Get into groups of three or four Each group will get one turn to select something from the Learning Event generatorYou will be asked to “DO” something “AS” something else
For example:• Do Pythagoras as a Windows Movie• Do Democracy as an Interactive Classroom Poll• Do The planets as a Photosynth
During tea – think about how you would teach your concept using your toolAfter tea you will have 45 minutes to come up with an idea and if possible to make the resource.Your group will then have exactly 3 minutes to present to the rest of the group.
Be creative – be silly – have fun – enjoy – there are no right answers – try something you haven’t tried before – learn from your colleagues – This is not for marks!
