April 30 - May 1
The goal of this conference is to create sustainable communities of passionate educators that choose to learn and share their experiences. All DEEP Learning conferences follow our unique format in which you choose your own path with six different Discovery sessions in the morning designed to help you decide which DEEP Dive sessions you will attend in the afternoon. These challenge-based focus sessions are further designed to support the development of a takeaway project or toolbox to help you maximise your conference experience upon returning to your school.
Takeaway Projects are put in place to ensure optimal learning. We help you develop something to take back to your school, ready to implement.
20-minute Discovery Sessions in the morning allow you to learn something new and enable you to make informed choices about which afternoon sessions best suit your unique environment.
50-minute DEEP Dives after lunch allow you to gain further insight and take your learning to a deeper level.

The iPad creative studio - personalized learning for music and digital cinematography
By now, many schools are using iPads to create student videos. More than ever before, students are taking ownership of these creative projects, and many students develop a strong passion for digital cinematography and music production. These students are looking for ways to extend their skills, but AV equipment is often complicated and expensive Even if it can be funded, expense and complexity leads to the need for more adult guidance and less student innovation. In this session, we will explore how to build a simple yet powerful iPad studio for high quality productions that can be used with minimal adult support. We will also discuss how programs such as this overlap with the maker movement both philosophically and in resourcing. And of course, we will learn by doing by making our own high-quality videos and songs.

Digital Story Telling
Tied to visual viteracy, digital story telling is a fundamental skill in the digital-age. Why do we teach exository writing? How do your students present?
By incorporating digital story telling into your curriculum your students move forward exponentially. Demonstrating understanding. Deepening learning. Presenting with authority. We will look at how to incorporate literary elements into digital story telling as the foundation. We will look at examples of animated science presentations, interactive sharing with slideshow software, self-playing, narrated examples with soundtracks embedded and simple animation for traditional story telling. If this can benefit your your students. Come.

Gamify Learning with Google Forms & Sheets
I will show how I created a simple game-based introduction to a Unit of work for students on Space. I will show the attendees the site that this was all based on, the Google forms we used to allow students to add answers and how the back-end of all this works using Google sheets and scripts to email students and send badges and certificates.
