Last Friday (20th of January) I was at the Adult Education Forum organised by JISC RSC London. The event took place in a cosy little room at The Senate House, University of London.
This forum consisted in sharing ideas and good practice around the uses of technology to improve teaching and learning.
There were some good group discussions, activities, networking and colleagues delivering their presentations where they showed how they successfully managed to use technology to enhance the teaching and learning experience in their colleges.
It was quite interesting and inspiring! Except some more traditional PowerPoints!!!!! Sorry guys!
It was, actually, my very first time to be one of the speakers! Besides the nerves, I had the pleasure to share with all the delegates the wonderful job we’re doing in our college (Westminster Adult Education Service) using the iPads to engage teachers and learners with new technologies.
Our presentation consisted of showing everyone how we advertised the successful use of the iPad in education, how we trained our teachers and students to use the devices in the classroom and also giving them specific ideas of how the iPads can be used in different classes covering various subjects.
So far the feedback was pretty positive and we had lots of colleagues interested in visiting us at our college to see how we used the iPads in the classroom.
Check out our keynote above. It’s fun and self-explanatory!
