Using Digital Technologies in the Classroom

This Professional Learning program focuses on the integration of effective digital learning in the classroom.

Here you will build confidence and skills around digital-based learning in the classroom by way of testing, asking questions, and having fun.      

Our focus will be on LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robotics, Makey Makey, and Scratch coding. Educators will be introduced to each of these tools, provided guidance and time to become familiar with them. They will then use these tools to undertake activities that can be replicated in the classroom, helping build confidence to utilise them within their own learning programs.

We will connect this to programs offered at Boola Bardip, showing how a museum visit can complement and strengthen classroom learning.

This program is suitable for middle and upper primary school teachers, as well as educators at the foundation level who are looking to build their skills and confidence in Digital Technologies.  

During this program, you will: 

• Experiment with innovative digital tools that can be used across the curriculum, including LEGO® MINDSTORMS® EV3 robotics, Makey Makey, and Scratch coding.
• Explore ways these digital tools can be linked to the curriculum.
• Develop your own ideas to integrate into your own teaching and learning programs.
• Enjoy a light refreshment and meet like-minded educators.

Attendance at this Professional Learning will meet the requirements of Standards 2.6, 4.5, and 6.2 of the Professional Standards outlined by the Teacher Registration Board of Western Australia.
