Speak My Language Student Led VC Conference

This week Mitchell Squires,Anne-Maree Moore and myself have been working hard to put together the Speak My Language wiki and resources.   The conference will run from 23-25th June 2009 but we hope to generate lots of learning experiences and discussions in the lead-up and beyond. The video below explains a little of what we hope to get out of the conference but a big part of it is what the students come up with.

Speak My Language from Macict on Vimeo.

This interactive video conference will be held over three days in June and will be presented by students for students from all across the state.  Students will be talking about a variety of innovative projects as well as discussing their ideas for using technology to support their education.

This is going to be a great conference, really focused on students maximising their learning experience.  With lots of opportunity for peer to peer interaction and discussion.
