KEYNOTE SESSION OPTIONS
Attend a Masterclass on Thinking Play with Michelle Scheu from Chevallum State School. Thinking Play honours children as capable, decision-makers. Learning is enriched during play-based problem solving via active exploration in environments as children represented their learning in concrete forms.
We have a great program in store for conference delegates. Participants will choose one keynote to attend and will also selectfour breakout workshops to attend during the day. The following pages contain an overview of each of the conference sessions.Where a workshop appears more than once in the program, this is a repeat session.
Come along and discover how Adrian weaves magic with his learners with the help of his ever growing collection of digital tools and pedagogies. You’ll walk away with loads of ideas for making learning digital in your classroom.
Explore the integral components of the Thinking Play program and discover how you can make it work in your Early Phase learning context. This session is a double session and will run until morning tea.
