Join Jamie McKenzie
for a day of Lesson Building

Designing Great Digital Lessons

Many participants will leave at the end of the day with 5-6 completed lessons ready to use with students the next day or weeks.

This seminar is aimed at teachers of Year Three on up, though some teachers of younger students might also be able to modify what they learn for their students. The lesson building strategies work especially well for any students capable of reading, right up to and including university students.

 How can we create lessons that take advantage of rich digital resources while challenging our students to wrestle with difficult questions and issues?



Participants will bring their own wireless laptops as these activities will be hands-on and no laptops will be provided.
