M Learning Conference

 Today I was privileged to be invited to attend a 'Mobiles in Schools' conference held at the Vodafone headquarters at the Viaduct Basin.  This conference, led by an independent facilitator had a wide range of experts speaking including representatives from Netsafe, the Human Rights Foundation, Vodafone, Two Degrees and some amazing educators. 

It was exciting to have such in depth conversations about the future of M Learning in education focussing on potential benefits and risks to manage.  I hope I have the opportunity to continue learning from this group that we can translate to Stanley Avenue School's vision.  Some of the wonderful speakers that contributed to the day included:

Kursten Shalfoon, Vodafone GM Consumer Marketing, to discuss the future of mobiles
Martin Cocker, Executive Director of NetSafe, cybersafety responses across NZ schools
 Toni Twiss to give overview of her mLearning research and experiences
 Mark Osborne, Deputy Principal, Albany Senior High School, school-wide eLearning approach
Stuart Armistead, Stanley Avenue School, mLearning at Stanley Ave School
