BETT 2009 Seminar by Andrée Jordan
Internationalism in Schools
Thursday 15th January 15:45 - 16:30
At: Innovative Practice Room
Booking code: T21
- All schools need International links - the government says so
- All children need to experience the world - they will be growing up in one world, in a global marketplace
- Many global issues need addressing
- Giving children an international perspective in their school life brings the world to them, changes their outlook, develops their understanding, their tolerance, and enriches their experience.
To my mind, it is an absolute must; but how?
This seminar will explore the possible methods of integrating a global perspective into and outside the classroom, stimulating children to find creative answers to problems, local solutions to global issues, and introduce the children of the world to each other using new and innovative ways.
It will demonstrate a variety of suggestions, including methods of communication - from web based tools to mobile phones.
It will explore a number of proven successful project ideas, such as "The Peace Room", "Exploring Statistics", and "Tourist Guides",
And will address the issue of funding sources.
It aims to help professionals make internationalism a part of normal classroom practice.

BETT 2009 Seminar by Dr John Cuthell
Research into the CPD experiences of advisors and teachers
Friday 16th January 14:30 - 15:15
At: Club Room
Booking code: F11
During 2007 the MirandaNet Fellowship worked with members of the Naace, ITTE and MirandaNet communities to identify effective models of ICT CPD, and the critical incidents that had proved formative in respondents’ lives. This seminar will report on research into the CPD experience of these advisers and teachers, and their recommendations for effective ICT CPD work teachers and schools.
The focus will be on the ICT CPD needed to support 21st century skills.
The driving need for schools to embed ICT within the curriculum and move to e-maturity underpins the need for effective - and timely - models of ICT CPD that can have the maximum impact on teaching and learning. This seminar will identify effective approaches.
Other contributors to this seminar: Norbert Pachler, WLE Centre, IoE; Caroline Daly, WLE Centre, IoE; Christina Preston, MirandaNet
