Evaluation from EdTech Akl Summit

Baruk Jacobs and I presented at the Edtech Summit in Auckland. Sadly, only 4 people completed the evaluation but the results are:
What I can take from this limited response is that participants were fairly happy with the content and format of our session. There isn't much from this to work on for our uLearn submission, but we have our own reflections and ideas to make improvements. Even so, it is good to get some feedback which includes positive and encouraging comments.

EdTech Google Summit Auckland 2018

This summit has held in the first two days of the April school holidays. It was a great time for learning, listening, trying things out, networking and sharing. It was quite hard to choose what sessions to attend, however through the summit app, the resources for all sessions were accessible - and this included all summits - NZ and overseas. What a terrific resource for continuing learning.
I appreciated the messages from the keynote speakers such as the importance of play in learning and encouraging students to tell their own stories. I have a number of activities from the workshops I attended to investigate and think about how these could be adapted for classrooms I facilitate in. I also appreciated the workshop in Te Reo that I attended and have a list of technological words in Māori that I can trust are correct. Here is the list should blog readers be interested. I'm going to try using one word a week and that way I may remember them.
Baruk and I did our workshop. We were quite critical of our performance and immediately jotted down ways to improve it. We are now working on an upscaled version for submitting for uLearn 2018. I am very grateful to everyone who shared their knowledge, expertise and resources.
