In 2010 the NSW Government began the rollout of interactive classroom technology, so that over 80% of public schools in NSW now have a ‘connected classroom’. These mini technology hubs, be they in the school library, resource room, hall or nominated classroom are equipped with interactive white board, video cameras, microphones and data projector. They give our NSW school kids access to a growing number of really cool education programs offered by arts, cultural and scientific institutions around the world.
The Video Encounters seminar, is a chance to see how this technology might work for your organisation―to ask questions and be involved in building quality learning experiences for our communities, no matter how remote and isolated.
To showcase the opportunities of this technology we've engaged the very best programs in Australia on the day. These programs are varied and innovative ―they provide an opportunity to meet, talk with and do stuff with an industry specialist. You can come face-to-face with curator, robot, marine biologist, astronaut or Hyde Park Barracks convict.
We’re not just talking about watching ―we’re talking about participating in activities.
So come along to the workshop and learn about how this technology might be utilised by your organisation and how involvement in innovative technologies can diversify, expand and develop your existing audience.
