IETC AU2014
ANNUAL CONFERENCE
OCTOBER 3RD | TAFE ILLAWARRA, WOLLONGONG CAMPUS - J BLOCK
A hallmark of the ‘digital century’ is the ownership of personal technologies. These provide increasing opportunities for user-generated content and is the reason why websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube are among the most popular in the world.
Students commonly use their personal devices for social media, but could make much more use of them for learning and communicating educational concepts.
This keynote will showcase two examples of student-created media using personal technologies followed by an optional workshop:
-
Slowmation (Slow Animation) will be demonstrated which uses the ‘MyCreate’ app enabling young learners to make narrated animations to represent their educational ideas.
Free resources at www.slowmation.com
-
Blended Media will be demonstrated which is an "educational ‘mashup" of media providing almost limitless opportunities for older learners to be creative with content. They can mix and match their own media with other media (e.g. YouTube clips) for an educational purpose.
Free resources at www.digiexplanations.com.
-
An optional follow-up workshop will enable participants to create your own digital Slowmation or Blended Media.

Aunty Barbara Nicholson - Experiences and Observations of Technology Use Across the Education Spectrum
Medium: Face to Face and Live Streaming
Focus: Technology Enhanced Learning
What is the labour involved in using technology in teaching and learning? Who does this labour, and what does this workforce look like?
This talk will discuss the discourses surrounding innovation in higher education, and how these discourses invisibilise the labour behind the technology at the level of the institution and the academic staff, but in particular the students and increasingly casualised workforce. It will investigate how ‘digital native/digital immigrant’ concepts impact student experiences of technology, and how the burden of innovation falls on under-resourced and under-supported sessional staff. It will also address how innovative technologies disrupt existing models of marking, consultation, and hourly-rates of pay for teachers.
Invisible Labour: Using Innovative Technology in Teaching
