The Transformative Classroom: Guiding the Mobile Learning Evolution
In this age of technology and innovation, mobile technology is revolutionising
today’s evolving classrooms and universities. While promising to change
teaching and learning, without proper classroom management, classroom
devices present challenges for teachers and their students. Join AirWatch by
VMware’s Preston Winn, Director of Education Business Development, and a
panel of distinguished educators to discuss strategies and best practices on
how to empower IT professionals and instructors alike with simple
management of classroom devices, apps and content to ensure a personalised,
collaborative and engaging learning experience

Inspiring a generation of thinkers
I plan to talk about a project I’m involved in called Thinkspace - a space in
schools where students can give up their free time to learn to code. I hope to
inspire other schools to set up their own Thinkspace. I also want to talk about
how coding can be used practically and its growing importance. I’ll then talk
about how coding enabled me to set up my own successful business Dunn Rite

A Management Information System, an innovative tool to drive learning, or
just a data storage system?
Dartmouth Academy is, according to David Carter, the South West
Commissioner for Schools, ’one of the best examples of an all through
Academy in the country’. Championed by its Assistant-Principal, Andrew
Carpenter, is tracking pupil progress using Guy Claxton’s learning muscles and
building students learning power. This approach is engaging staff and learners,
and having a huge positive impact on allowing students to drive their own
learning. Staff focus their time and energy on helping and guiding this process.
Using Progresso MIS, capturing evidence at the point of learning and sharing it,
in real time, with other staff, SLT, governors and parents, Dartmouth can point
to a management system which impacts on outcomes and enhances teaching
and learning.
Come and listen to Andrew describe the journey that Dartmouth have been
on, and how they have ensured that the whole school is behind this approach
as well as how they have shaped Progresso to allow them to innovate and
change. You will pick up strategic and practical hints and tip on how you might
evolve assessment, progress tracking and reporting in your school.

Preparing for PISA – Collaboration in and beyond the classroom
With PISA assessing collaborative problem solving skills in 2015, how will
schools build an approach to collaboration into their teaching and learning?
Presenters David Whyley and Gareth Hancox will present the pioneering work
they have undertaken to build collaborative learning within a primary
classroom environment. The workshop will cover the technology, classroom
layout curriculum and reimagined teaching approaches that have been put

Using technology to enhance learning
The brain is primed to relate to others and learn from them. This session is
about how we can use technology for sharing, collaborating and assessing in a
way that strengthens sociocultural learning. By using technology we can get
great insight to what learners know, what they what to know and how they
want to learn it. Having knowledge of this, technology give teachers endless
opportunities to design great lessons that provides great learning for the
learners

Using App Creation Across The Curriculum
This session will demonstrate how a group of mixed ability pupils were
engaged and enthused by learning how to create their own apps. With no
previous experience in app creation, staff and pupils will demonstrate how
they learnt new skills including how to use a variety of easily accessible
software, how to code and how to solve real world problems through the
innovative use of new technologies, many of which had not previously been
used in school. The session will also demonstrate how the skills learnt can be
applied across the curriculum to motivate pupils of all ages and abilities

Enabling Digital-Learning-- Building the ‘Perfect’ Wi-Fi Network
Disclaimer and copyright: © i2i Events Group 2014. This is a draft programme only and all content is subject to
change.
The capacity demands of BYOD and 1:1 initiatives, as well as security mandates
are swiftly making high-performance, reliable and secure Wi-Fi networks the
new normal for schools. Administrators are facing significant obstacles as they
plan their next step, these include:
·
·
·
Dealing with Densities - is even an AP per classroom going to be
enough?
Wi-Fi Architecture - Controller or Distributed, does it really make a
difference?
Evolving technologies - Is 11n enough, what about 11ac, maybe you
should you wait for 11ac Wave 2?
Your next Wi-Fi design and upgrade requires diligent planning as “good
enough;” is not an option. You must plan proactively to support increases in
device density, data usage and providing secure access solutions
that MUST last into the next decade, I.e. ‘The Perfect Wi-Fi Network’
This session will examine the technical requirement as well as the financial
value of building the perfect Wi-Fi network. If your sleep quality, reputation or
job depends on the reliability of the network, then this is the session you can’t
afford to miss.

ZUMOS: Resilience is measurable, today
Zumos consists of expert written, peer reviewed, motivational support, vocal
recordings, anonymously accessed by pupils, with further support information
in the form of web links, helplines, suggested reading, books and videos, all of
which have been passed through a due diligence procedure. Schools are able
to see statistical information on what pupils are accessing and all information
is fully controlled by the school. The first online service of its kind is going into
its third year and is already available to almost 140,000 pupils in the UK.
"ZUMOS is presenting the pupils with the correct choices and information
rather than them having to wade through endless untested search results. The
schools don’t have to pay for the service. It can be funded by a mixture of
sponsors, charities grants and the big lottery,” says Gary Siva, CEO of Insight
and Motivation Ltd, the company that is providing the ZUMOS service. A team
of specialists including Doctors, GP’s, psychotherapists, counselors, life
coaches, nutritional therapists and other professionals have written scripts to
advise pupils on many topics - from dealing with various emotional issues,
fears and phobias, to coaching on health, relationships, sex, money and work
issues.

Be responsible and use your mobile device!
Our students work in a 1:1 4:model. From 7th to 9th year (400 students) they
use their own android tablet and they are free to carry their mobile phones. Of
course, we don’t ban mobile devices, but we want to educate our students to
use them responsibly. This educational goal is supported by three principles:
- Focus on pedagogical values and responsibility
- Respect for the classroom environment and privacy rights
- Adequate use of devices

Interdisciplinary Augmented Reality Implementation
We will talk about how did we combine Pyhsical Education lesson with Turkish
lesson. We want students to bring their own devices(BYOD). We stick the qr
codes some places in the school yard. And we gave them maps of schools that
we prepared. Like they are playing orienteering they follow the targets and
answer the questions on qr codes. And they also find some words in every
correct answer. So the winner student was who bring together correctly words
as a sentence at the earliest.
