The 2 min teaser for our K12 Online Conference 'Indie ITGS: Cyber-students share their connected learning'. Full presentation to be released in a week!
K12 Online Conference 2010
Julie Lindsay and Madeleine Brookes
Inside ITGS is about classrooms globally coming together to form an online learning community for the IB subject Information Technology in a Global Society. Madeleine Brookes from Western Academy Beijing and Julie Lindsay from Beijing (BISS) International School, both in China, explore the impact of virtual communication and collaboration and feature the students from pioneer classrooms in a rare face-to-face meeting. It is through their eyes, as cyber-students, that we will learn more about how to use emerging technologies and build stronger more effective learning communities.
This website accompanies the book of the same title, a must read for ITGS teachers.
The website includes lots of videos of robots in action, images of robots with detailed captions, videos of the author's appearances including a TED conference, a classroom discussion guide, and lots of information about the book including a lengthy excerpt. First rate material. Goes beyond robotics with excellent explanations of the technology.
