Tourism and Hospitality Educators (THED 07)
Teachers from the Tourism and Hospitaltiy Faculty at Illawarra Institute have been participating in trials of new technologies for learning (wireless network, laptops,, mobile devices and web 2.0) as part of the NSW Learnscope 07 project. These technologies are assisting teachers to access resources, software, internet and collaboration tools to better support flexible and workplace delivery and assessment and expand learning activities for students. Come along to the showcase and see what teachers are doing, ask questions and engage in conversations with the teachers and TLI staff involved in the trials; network with colleagues; do some quick simple learning activities that you could adapt for your teaching; and, take away information and practical tips … Find out how you can access and use new technologies in your teaching and have FUN at the same time. Prizes to be won!
