Day 7 Keynote - Science education and technology
January 12th, 2008 by jbowes and tagged ICT in science education, rich learning, science education
This morning’s keynote was by Dr Christine Redman from the University of Melbourne and is titled Innovative Integration of Technologies into Meaningful Science Learning Experiences”. Technologies in this context are ICT. She used rich visuals and stories (Pooh Bear, Goldilocks) to convey the issues ie using the familiar but with a twist.
She punctuated her presentation with lots of snippets of actual examples to use in teaching. These are all on the presentation slides which will be on the Summer School website in due course.
