Parking

Facilities will raise the barrier to Car park 2 just before 5pm. If you come on site via the Main Entrance (not the Staff Entrance), the large visitor car park 2 is right at the end of the road. If car Park 2 is full you can also use Car Park 1.

 

This event, for educators across primary and secondary education, combines an interactive Digital Playdate with an informative TeachMeet to provide an inspiring opportunity to tinker with new tools and technologies and explore media and digital literacy.

 

A Digital Playdate is a chance to find out about some technologies you are curious to try through hands on play alongside others. It is based on the acronym ‘People Learning and Asking Y’.

We’ll have a choice of workshops and demos for you to join in with, including greenscreening, making photospheres, iPads full of apps, virtual reality headsets, robots, micro:bits, filmmaking and animation, digital art, lightboxes and dark dens.

 

There will be digital leaders at hand to support your playful exploration. We are delighted to welcome Tom Rees, head of Simon de Senlis Primary School as our host.

 

There will also be short presentations on media and digital literacy so that you can hear about some of the great practice happening around the country.

 

You’ll go away with some fresh skills that you are confident to try out with your learners.

 

At the end of the event we will have time for participants to share what they’ve learnt and we’ll be encouraging everyone to take part in the conversation on Twitter throughout the event.

 

We are looking for 3 and 5 minute presentations on media, film and digital literacy - you must register via Eventbrite to take attend or to present as well as listing your name below.
