Had a great workshop on Wednesday at the Pasifika eCentre here in Christchurch - 4 of the current Ministry of Education eFellows - came to the eCentre and presented their research around the effects of using different 'hooks' and technology in education. Dorothy Burt and Jane Nicholls presented their research based around Podcasting, which even included some hands-on work where participants could create their own audio file. Gavin Hewitt and Jonathan Parsons demonstrated some of the simulations and gaming environments that they had developed - lots of it was about virtual environments and how students interact in those environments.
It was a great morning workshop spent listening to the presenters talk about real-life examples in the classroom. The session ended with a feedback session looking at the ICT needs of participants in their own communities and how the eCentre can help meet those needs. Overall the workshop looks to be a success, and we look forward to providing more of these types of workshops in the future.
