“As part of my ULearn contribution, I’m now going to offer to you The Ten Laws Of ULearn-ing (well… from my perspective, anyway). While you’re welcome to adapt these to your own conference / session / talkfest anywhere in the world, I have specifically drawn these up for the magic that is ULearn.”

Head over to his blog to check out what these 10 laws are >>

Anita Phillips is the lead ICT teacher from Cobden School. She has never been to Ulearn before but this year she has come to learn about new innovations and to get enthusiastic about teaching and ICT again.

So far she has found the conference fantastic and thought provoking. She attended break out one by Tony Ryan which was about Innovative teachers. The key message that she picked up from this was that we need to have a zest for life and for learning.

So far she has been inspired to return to her school and introduce the kids to the world of technology no matter what age they are. She wants to let the children explore things for themselves and question how things work.
