Join us in November to learn how to differentiate the Literacy Block for your diverse range of students in all areas of literacy instruction – speaking, reading, comprehending, writing, spelling and creating. Using strategies supported by embedding technology within your instructional approach and making the best of the technologies available to you.

Whether those technologies be a fully WiFi-enabled one-to-one iPad classroom projecting up onto LCD touchscreens, or whether you are working in a “technology deprived classroom” with just one ageing interactive whiteboard and a lone iPad to be shared amongst all of your students! Join us to learn how to make the most of what you have on hand. And to see what is possible should you add extra technologies to your classroom literacy kit. This workshop will give you ideas for application in ALL primary school classrooms, for ALL students in the room!

Jointly presented by an experienced early childhood educator, Jenni McDonald, and speech pathologist, Amanda Hartmann.

Hold onto your hats, and your iPads! This is going to be a fast-paced information-packed day delivered by presenters who passionately live and breathe effective literacy instruction practice. They love it!

Just gotta say THANK YOU Amanda and Barbara, yesterday in Sydney was wonderful, my head was spinning with thoughts for the whole of my 6 hour drive home (arrived 10.40pm and avoided heaps of big ‘roos). I showed my lil’ mate in yr 7 how I could change his homepage… MASSIVE SMILES!!!!!
