Race Around the World

Are your students all couch potatoes?

Use the power of technology to get them excited about exercise and, just maybe, they'll learn some maths and Web 2 skills along the way.

In this workshop you will learn how to organise a virtual running race between students from two different schools. Schools that could be on opposite sides of the street or opposite sides of the planet!

Using a Nike+iPod kit, you will learn how to monitor the distances and speed that each student has run. You will learn how to use the NikePlus website to create graphs and provide racers with immediate feedback on their progress.

This is a fun and healthy way for students to collaborate with others from around the world.

This workshop is suitable for beginners and for both Mac and PC users.

Intended Audience: Primary / Middle School but could also be of interest to Upper Secondary

Creating School 2.0

We live in unprecedented times. Technology is transforming every aspect of human endeavour, yet our schools - the very institutions charged with preparing children for the future - remain fiercely resistant to change.

This presentation invites educators to imagine a school that has been transformed by the power of the new Web 2.0 technologies, a school where students use real-world tools to collaborate on meaningful projects as a part of the global community, a school where the power of the web is harnessed, rather than blocked.

The tools required to make this shift are now readily available and, in many cases, free. All that is needed is the will to make it happen.

This seminar will discuss strategies for winning hearts and minds in the endeavour to build 'School 2.0'.

Experience Level: Any
Materials Required: None
Platform: All
