Discovery Session
We have all been there, planned a spectacular tech based lesson, tested it the night before and then BAMM! How do we ensure that the learning experience does not suffer? Giving them a worksheet or getting them to do a bit of drawing or making a poster is not what this session is about. Based on my experiences and those of others we will look at strategies that can be put in place to deal with the most common tech failures without compromising the original learning objective. |

From using Google Docs offline to collaborative learning, the discovery session will cover a wide variety of scenarios from Internet failures to device failure to panic mode i.e. when an observer walks in and your projector fails.
