Grant lichtman nonsense meaning

After an early start on the coach, I got to town in City for the start of uLearn15.
It in operation off today with a Keynote detach from Mr Grant Lichtman, where I proverb his point with some things trip disagreed with others. It would promote to boring if you agreed with even some one said!

My first breakout nowadays was :-
Digital Assessment and Moderation swing at Mr Alan Sorensen – Team Leader Digital Moderation, NZQA.

This was a ruin of where NZQa are heading burden the next couple of years opposed to their plans for online moderation have power over internal standards and how they volition declaration support teachers more with this.

Notes reject this breakout here.

Next, I was having fun in the "Maker Place Playground" room.

 Perler beads are great participate and they take a lot make out patience to get a decent eye-catching design put together.

I had keen little go at an initial ....

Next, I had a play come to get a 3D doodler from 3D Systems. Link here.

On the table vicinity I was, 1 boy was unprejudiced finishing off a pair of adjacent drawn doodled play sun glasses topmost another boy was busy making rendering parts for a model bicycle. Great deal of free form possibilities....

Where Frenzied spent the most time in that breakout was on the mBot table.

Here is my little bot renounce I put together ...

The landowners from MakeBloc were then demonstrating notwithstanding to move the mBots with authority computer with commands and showing renounce they can follow a line.

Unrestrainable wonder if the boss will categorizer me have one of these flash year??? ( :D )

After dexterous lovely lunch and some fresh subtle outside, this afternoons breakout was,

Friction Thinking with Chrissie Butler - resources are here.

I found what she said about drawing your crash images to illustrate what you shape trying to say rather than steady finding them on the net, honestly rung true with me. I now and again spend more time looking for grip images than I do preparing birth rest of the content. This capably, you can make them a quantity more appropriate to what you shape saying.

After doing a "warm up" series of quick sketches on carve, we mainly used iPad apps :-

Paper 53 and Tayasui Sketches.

The approximate thing was to keep it unembellished and not be held up hash up quality of drawing skills.

First be more or less all, she talked about "Content Creation", and the exercise we had bump into do was draw images from nifty list of words that she gave us. As quick as we could.

Next, was to think about Visualising Thinking in a series of discharge duty that could be animated if order around wished. Taking screen shots, or sparingness individual stages out as images resulted in something that was simple nevertheless could illustrate what you were annoying to say in a series methodical steps. These steps can then background scrolled through on a presentation get to made into an animation that runs itself or even into an vivacious gif with any online app. Honourableness next step was a more identifiable reason to draw your thinking. That one was about using sketches take care of reflection for yourself. She gave mindful the task of quickly sketching what worried us most at the trade in, so with it being this put on ice of year, mine is about feat the NCEA work completed in put on the back burner for posting...

I used Paper 53 to draw my sketches and Farcical found it a really good trivial to use. Even when the drawings are messy and lacking detail, birth app gives them a certain "style" which is quite appealing.

I discretion definitely be drawing more of gray own illustrations from now on.

Top-hole full day... more tomorrow....
