John Davitt

Learning in a World of Difference (Keynote)

John will explore the nature of learning, the reality of difference and the potential of new tools and approaches to transform the education landscape. Pulling from a wide range of real world examples he will note the benefits we may reap as we learn faster and share more deeply. In the final part of his keynote John will detail his #freelearning method - a simple but powerful five strand model for developing new practice at the point where learning meets innovation.



Active learning with new tools

Occupy the hand and free the mind – simple strategies to make learners active with new tools. This workshop will provide a hands-on chance to break free of the chair and explore some new learning opportunities using a variety of resources and activities. The workshop will also feature the use of John’s “Learning Event Generator” and delegates will be given access to their own copy to continue work back at their own schools and centres. This session will allow staff to enjoy their own learning curves and suggest we might manage innovation and still have time for a social life!
