NECC 2009
This is a huge conference where over 13 000 people come to learn about the latest trends in technology.
People meet other people and talk a lot but mostly teachers spend time going to lessons and learning.
We’ve learned about;
- how powerful Google is as a web based engine for searching the Internet and that it helps focus and then organise your searching
- iphones and ipod touches and what great learning tools they can be in the classroom
- all sorts of amazing Apps from web 2.0
- literacy and how it’s so much more than reading and writing and how it is nearly impossible to test using old test formats
- making the classroom a happy and fun place to be
- what students think about the way they are being taught and how they would like to be taught using technology
- the importance of the web as a place for publication
- the new web, web 3.0
