This document outlines an agenda for a staff development day focused on pedagogy and technology. The objectives are to share teaching ideas across subjects, revisit pedagogical approaches and how technology can enhance them. The activities include groups sharing a recent lesson, discussing student performance, and designing a new multi-disciplinary lesson incorporating appropriate pedagogies and technologies. References are provided on various teaching approaches and how they can be combined with tools like videos, apps, VR and AR.

While no one has ever received lead poisoning from the graphite inside of a pencil, pencils were one of the most common causes of lead poisoning until the middle of the 20th century. The paint used on pencils was lead-based, and would seep into the fingers of the pencil’s user.
In 1867, a hollow eraser, into which a pencil could be inserted, was invented by J. B. Blair of Philadelphia." (Avameg, Inc., 2013)
