Educators world-wide are warmly invited to enrol their students (primary and secondary) in iNet’s first online conference for students. The aim of the conference is to seek students’ views of each of the nine gateways to personalising learning, as described by Professor David Hargreaves (UK) in his recent book, Personalising Learning: Next Steps in Working Laterally (2004). After the student conference has concluded, adult educators and school governors will have a chance to review what the students have written, and discuss this online, during an Adult Review Week. Online registration websites for both the Student Online Conference and the Adult Review Week are provided above.
Students are invited to participate in several ways. First, they can write an essay-style paper, which will be published on the online conference website. Second, as a group, they can prepare a presentation on one of the nine questions we’ll be addressing in the conference and mount it on your school’s website (the questions are provided below). Third, they can volunteer as Online Discussion Moderators, whose role is to encourage online discussion by other participants. Fourth, they can volunteer to be part of a small Student Evaluation Panel that selects the most interesting paper each day and writes a very short report explaining the decision. Fifth, they can volunteer to host a ‘hot seat’, where an inspirational guest (yet to be selected) will answer questions from all online conference participants over three four-hour sessions. Sixth, they can simply participate by reading the other students’ papers and website presentations and then engage in the daily online discussions. All of these activities can be undertaken by individual students or teams of students OR be offered by teachers as supervised classroom-based activities.
The Student Online Conference will be active 24-hours a day for nine week days, with an extra reading-only day provided at the end. We are hoping to feature a wide range of papers to stimulate online discussion and debate. Each day participants will have the opportunity to discuss papers and website presentations online. Each day we will focus one of the following questions and there will be an associated 24-hour online discussion on that question.
