Digital participation – Exploring digital literacy and how to foster it across the curriculum.

Home-school relationships – Exploring the connections and overlaps between children’s learning at home and learning at school.

Transformative learning spaces – Discussing the challenges, the opportunities and the unrealistic expectations of ‘transformative’ design.

Greater expectations – Exploring how digital technologies can support young people to engage with their rights and entitlements resulting in a free to use Web resource for young people: ‘Infocow’.

Gaming in families – Exploring family engagement with this media.

There will also be an opportunity to learn more about some new free resources from Futurelab, including an online one-stop shop for innovation aimed at the education community and an online website that supports young people to make positive changes in their life.

There is a fee for attending this event of £70 per person (early bird rate of £60 available until 24th March) and this will include lunch and refreshments.
