Attend our Workshops

Session A30 - Chemistry for Interactive Whiteboards,
Computer Labs and Student Laptops

Time: Monday 11.40 - 12.40 Room: Donald Whitehead 203/204

Interactive Whiteboards and student laptops are coming trends in education, however, finding good chemistry programs and using them effectively is a problem.

This, hands on workshop, will give you some great practical ideas for using this new technology in your chemistry classroom. During the workshop we will examine several software packages software packages including Sunflower, Roger Frost and Newbyte programs.

Receive a free demo CD and someone will win a full version of one of these packages.

Session B35 - Ecology for Interactive Whiteboards,
Computer Labs and Student Laptops

Time: Tuesday 1.40 - 2.40 Room: Donald Whitehead 203/204

Simulation software can bring your ecology class to life, particularly when used in conjunction with project-based learning and/or an excursion. Experience "Rocky Shore Ecology", "Food Webs: Australian Woodlands" and "Food Webs: Ponds". See how they can help your class understand and experience ecology.

This, hands on workshop, will give you some great practical ideas for your students. Learn about the hidden features and full potential of these programs.

Receive an evaluation CD and someone will win a full version of a simulation.

Session C33 - Biology for Interactive Whiteboards,
Computer Labs and Student Laptops

Time: Monday 3.00 - 4.00 Room: Donald Whitehead 203/204

Interactive Whiteboards and student laptops are a coming trend in education, however finding good biology programs and using them effectively is a problem.

This hands on workshop will give you some great practical ideas for using this new technology in your biology classroom.

During the workshop we will examine several software packages including those from Newbyte, Sunflower and others. Use the new Natural Selection and Evolution Series.

Receive an evaluation CD and someone will win a full version of a simulation.

Session D31 - Genetics for Interactive Whiteboards,
Computer Labs and Student Laptops

Time: Monday 10.45 - 11.45 Room: Donald Whitehead 203/204

Investigate how good software can help your students understand emerging technologies and difficult concepts, when used with interactive whiteboards and their own computers at home.

This workshop will give you some great practical ideas on how to integrate modern technologies into your teaching.

You'll have the chance to use genetics software developed in Australia and Sweden. Explore how these resources can be used effectively in various teaching situations, including as homework units. Gain valuable experience in using software such as "Drosophila Genetics Lab", Pea Plant Genetics Lab" and "eDNA".

Receive a FREE demo CD and someone will win a full version of a package.
