This is the PowerPoint from the third session of the 2013 Microsoft Evpert Education preparation training

1. Innovation Workshop
2013
Session 3: Getting
ideas, Mastering Tools,
Creating Learning
Activities

2. Activity: Learning Event Generator: 1 hour
Davitt's Online
Learning Event
Generator – you will
use the Excel version
on the next slide
By the end of this session you will:
• Have selected a “Learning Event” using John Davitt’s Learning Event
Generator
• Worked in a group to create a resource
• Investigated a tool and resources that use it on the Partners in Learning
Network
• Thought about how you could use a tool to teach a concept
• Thought about how it felt to use ICT as part of a learning experience

3. Get into groups of three or four
Each group will get one turn to select something from the
Learning Event generator
You will be asked to “DO” something “AS” something else
For example:
• Do Pythagoras as a Windows Movie
• Do Democracy as an Interactive Classroom Poll
• Do The planets as a Photosynth
During tea – think about how you would teach your concept using your tool
After tea you will have 45 minutes to come up with an idea and if possible to make the
resource.
Your group will then have exactly 3 minutes to present to the rest of the group.
Be creative – be silly – have fun – enjoy – there are
no right answers – try something you haven’t tried
before – learn from your colleagues – This is not for
marks!

4. You can use www.pil-network.com
for resources, ideas and tutorials

5. Go to www.pil-network.com
• Under resources you will find loads of
free tools to download and use.
• If you are unsure of how to use the tool –
look at the tutorial
• If you want to see how other teachers
have used your tool or taught your
concept - search the Learning Activities
for something similar
Tweet about it!
Which tool you are trying out?
How does it feel to be using a new tool
to do something you haven’t done
before?

6. Showtime!
Each group gets EXACTLY three
minutes to:
• Show off their Learning
Activity
• Describe the tool they used
• Say what they have learnt
from this activity
Use the online timer. When your time is up -
you need to STOP!
