[|http://www.edutopia.org/derek-wenmoth] Derek is a regular speaker at conferences and seminars, and maintains a regular blog where he shares his ideas and thinking across a range of related areas – [] ||  || In the future our learning will be even more digital, more mobile, and more multimedia than it is now.It frequently will be more informal and definitely will be more self-directed, individualized, and personalized.It will be more open and more accessible and may occur in simulation or video game-like environments.It will be more networked and more interconnected and often will occur online. Our challenge as educators is to understand the drivers of these sorts of predictions, to envision what this might look like in our future school system, and to think about how we will accommodate this sort of thinking within our current schooling system. ||  ||

 * Driving decisions from a pedagogical model **

Too often our decision-making about ICTs in schools is left to chance, or left in the hands of just a small group of people or an individual. In this workshop we’ll explore how having a clear and well-articulated model of how teaching and learning is approached, together with a shared understanding of 21st century principles, is a powerful enabler for making decisions about investment in technology. We’ll explore a model for this thinking that can be adapted and used in any school context. ||  || ||   || Mark Osborne is Deputy Principal at Albany Senior High School. He has been working in the areas of ICTs, Thinking, Information Literacy and Gifted and Talented programmes for over 12 years. ||  ||

BYOD: Putting the Person into Personalised Learning
Something many schools are exploring at the moment is the idea of allowing students to bring their own devices to their learning. While not a replacement for school-provided devices, BYOD offers students the opportunity to bring who they are to their learning, and take their learning out to the world.

E-portfolios for reflective, lifelong learners
E-portfolios can offer schools huge opportunities to empower students in their learning but very few of us know what they are capable of and how they can be used best. They are an increasingly compelling way to promote lifelong learning, celebrate success and encourage students to reflect on their learning and their achievement at school. Find out how to promote deep, reflective learning using student-owned, multimedia tools. ||  || ||   || media type="custom" key="18211370"
