Why Don’t You…?
Supporting innovative approaches in education
30-31 October 2007, INMARSAT, London
Overview |
If we are to move towards a more personalised education system, then we need to support a wide range of innovators in education. This event will explore the conditions, tools and strategies that support innovation, focusing on teacher practice and the design and development of digital learning resources that support new approaches to learning and teaching.
Through a mix of inspirational presentations and hands-on activities, it has been designed to more specifically address issues such as:
- What tools are available to enable teachers to move towards more personalised approaches to teaching and learning?
- How can we innovate to respond to the changing needs of learners in a digital society?
- What examples of innovative practice are there in the UK?
- How can we encourage teachers to apply more innovative and creative uses of digital learning resources in UK schools that are suitable to learners' needs?
- How can we foster a culture of innovation in education?
- At policy level, how can we facilitate and encourage these innovative practices in order to create a climate which actively fosters this shift?
Who should attend?
This conference has been designed for a wide range of audiences - those involved in both formal and informal teaching practice; local authorities; teacher training agencies and institutes; education policy makers and researchers; and industry, developers and those interested in the conditions for innovation.
