principles | techy details | show and tell details | schedule | #learnover

an initial page of details for the 2012/13 Learnover schedule - starting in June 2012 (date tbc):

principles:

• this is a one to many series of sessions, hosted by one institutions and watched, questioned and chatted to by many - with a chairperson for each event.
• will will be using Adobe Connect to manage the events - this will be free-to-use for participants and allows levels of interaction depending on the bandwidth available for each parrticipant other than the host and chair.
• students will always be involved, as will practicing teachers - this is not a PR event for each institution but an honest discussion of ideas, practicalities, hopes and dream.
• we always welcome suggestions for host institutions - simple say why - what is particularly interesting about your suggestion. Post suggestions to the #learnover Twitter stream or contact Lys at heppell.net mission control!

techy details:

• you will need... (details coming soon)
  

show and tell details

If invited to be a host you will need to plan a bit. You only have 30 mins to initially show your institution, although hopefully poeple will have vistied whatever web resources you point them at ahead of the event (school website, Pinterest images, YouTube clips, whatever you have, don't create anything specially) and then a further 45 minutes to field questions from others, and from the chair of your session.

Ideally, you will have a wireless laptop, or tablet / iPad with camera so that you can be touring the school to show the bits you have selected as interesting - remember that what you take for granted (death adders, iguanas, motorways, coral reefs, ethnic diversity, uniforms, Latin, dungeons (!)... other may find completely captivating - or amazing.

The students and staff member wandering round generating live video and talking into the microphone ("...and here is our creek with the aligators in it...") should be aware of the multiple langauge audience - speak and walk slowly and clearly please.

You may want to rehearse your tour, although perhaps not quite like this one.

schedule

will be posted here as we confirm schools and institutions. If you want to be part of this - leave a contact detail in the #learnover twitter conference (see above) - or contact Lys
