Nanyang Girls High School Singapore 2012
In tandem with Release The Geek I shall be conducting a series of three iPad workshops in Victoria this March. It will be a great chance for me to catch up with my counterparts in Melbourne and also Wodonga. I hope you can make it to one of the three workshops listed below.
The aim of each workshop is to demonstrate the practical application of the Apple iPad mobile device in an educational setting. An emphasis on hands-on activities and the sharing of relevant strategies will be the hallmarks of each workshop.
Many educators are of the mistaken belief that the iPad is a replacement for desktop or laptop based devices. This is not the case. The iPad fills a different niche within the teaching and learning environment and an appreciation of this knowledge will facilitate better iPad implementations.
Participants will be guided through the use of a range of applications considered essential for educators. Strategies that focus upon creativity, writing, image-processing, mind-mapping, virtual whiteboards, gaming, video processing, audio recording, online publishing, wireless networking and resource management will be explored by all present. Key topics and ideas presented during the workshop include:
- Classroom implementation
- The role of the iPad in the classroom
- The right and wrong way to implement iPads within schools
- Curriculum mapping and lesson preparation
- Practical app selection and management
- Wireless presentation using AirPlay

I have evolved this workshop continuously since I first delivered it to a group of Singaporean educators in July 2010. Experience with implementations in both Singapore and Australia in that time have provided myself and this workshop with a rich bounty of information that should benefit all participants. Hope you can make it to one of the workshops! See you there. ^_^ [Do not forget I shall also be running a series of workshops at the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University and the Institute of Adult Learning in Singapore this April!]
