“It doesn’t get done in a day. Enabling Project Based Learning with the iPad”
Project Based Learning is not a new concept to teachers and learners. Project Based Learning allows a student to work over an extended period of time answering a driving
question. The question can be so deep that it requires students to create a project to share their findings with others.
In a traditional classroom, a Project Based Activity can take days or even weeks to complete. The iPad has not only transformed the way that we teach and learn but
has enabled teachers to deliver and manage Project
Based Lessons in a creative, time efficient and effective
way that allows students to critically think, analyse and
present their findings.
Participants of this workshop will leave with a toolkit of
iPad apps such as Tools4Students, Explain Everything,
Creative Book Builder, and resources to assist in the
development of Project Based Lessons in the classroom.

16. As part of the curriculum, Students:
“develop ICT capability as they learn to use ICT effectively and appropriately to access,
create and communicate information, ideas, solve problems and work collaboratively
in all learning areas at school and in their lives beyond school. The capability involves
students in learning to make the most of the digital technologies available to them,
adapting to new ways of doing things as technologies evolve and limiting the risks to
themselves and others in a digital environment…. They transform the ways that
students think and learn and give them greater control over how, where and when they
learn.”
They’re here..
17. "Successful learners have the essential skills in
literacy and numeracy and are creative and
productive users of technology, especially ICT,
as a foundation for success in all areas….
in a digital age, and with rapid and continuing changes in the
ways that people, share, use, develop and communicate
with ICT, young people need to be highly skilled in its use.
To participate in a knowledge-based economy and to be
empowered within a technologically sophisticated society
now and into the future, students need the knowledge, skills
and confidence to make ICT work for them at school, at
home, at work and in their communities.”
