//I attended ulearn in 2008 & 2009 along with other members of our staff. I chose breakouts that were hands on and focussed on things that I could implement into our classroom learning opportunities. The most beneficial workshops for me were the animation workshops. Two of them focussed on ‘scratch’ and ‘Marvin’. I could see benefits for using these applications to assist in digital literacy and storytelling. I used these applications with students when I returned to school and they were really hooked. I found that the 2009 ulearn conference didn’t make as much impact on me as the previous conference. I found that the breakouts were better in the previous year. I think next year I will not attend but rather give the opportunity to teaching staff member. I believe this will be more beneficial for both our school,students and staff as this will grow the skill and knowledge base with school.// GD


 * //This was my first Ulearn. For me, the best breakout was Cheryl Doig's. We talked about the was schools were organised and then we had opportunities to prioritise what was important for our school and what leadership teams could do to be more effective. There was also discussion on the National Standards and how we could integrate these.

One of the big ideas I came away with was the importance of utilising ICTs as a teaching tool and how connected our students could be with anyone in the world. This adds reality to learning.

Another bonus for us was the importance of building a leadership team which allows us to grow as leaders and learners.// ** NB
