Professional learning opportunities
The Hartley Institute is holding the following:
- Practical Digital Technology on Thursday 8 November, 4:30pm-6:00pm. Free. This is a 90-minute program providing participants the opportunity to learn how to use revolutionary wireless technology to control systems. Many microprocessors currently used in schools need to be connected via USB in order to be programmed. Tablet devices that have no USB port cannot be used to program these microprocessors. Developed in South Australia, the STEMSEL WiFi Control uses a revolutionary wireless technology to allow programming from any device with wireless capability. This workshop will show teachers how, using the STEMSEL WiFi Control, they can undertake coding activities with their students to teach the basics of coding and progress quickly to using digital technologies to drive decisions and control other devices.
Participants are encouraged to bring their own device if possible, but a limited number of loan devices will be available.
