Some rooms have 2 presentations running back to back.
You may sign up for the sessions during registration on 21 Jun itself..
Information correct as of 7 June 2011. Please check for updates.

Legend:

ML - Model LessonPresenters will share or demonstrate their lesson
design process, implementation and evaluation.

MJ - Mentoring JourneyThese sessions will highlight successful mentoring practices, processes and sustainable learning communities

BoF - Birds of a Feather
BoFs are facilitated discussions that allows for more interaction between participants than panel discussions or presentations. Come join the conversation to share your own use of the technology and with your own device where applicable to facilitate the sharing and learning.

Exploring Physics through BlogsTo provide student-centric experience in Physics learning, students use blogs to share ideas, collect comments and co-construct knowledge. Through the blog, the teacher presents new ideas by integrating text, images, videos and links for students to explore. These not only help set the context for them to learn new knowledge but may even trigger prior knowledge such that misconceptions might surface and be corrected.

Learning Physics (of Sports Science) using Tracker Video Analysis softwareStudents apply their theoretical knowledge through the use of Tracker to investigate real sports video. They figure out the Physics concepts by formulating questions, generating own inquiries, identifying variables to investigate after literature review and analysing video data to make logical arguments and findings.

BoF - Birds of a Feather

BoFs are facilitated discussions that allows for more interaction between participants than panel discussions or presentations. Come join the conversation to share your own use of the technology and with your own device where applicable to facilitate the sharing and learning.

Simulations Simulations are attempts to model real-life situations on a computer so that they can be observed and interacted with to see how the system works. By changing variables and observing the results, students can test their hypothesis and visualise abstract concepts or complex processes. In this BoF session, participants will share experiences, research, and tools that support and advance the utilization, integration, and evaluation of simulations for learning and teaching.
