 * 1. Digital Toolbox for Science #|Teaching and Learning**

Blended learning is a continuum between teacher-directed with no technology to student-centered, 24/7, online #|access to education. How do we get the balance between the physical and virtual spaces right? This workshop focusses on the learning outcomes and how to decide if technology enhances and transforms the #|experience. Don't just substitute a keyboard for a pencil or a screen for a book, give your students #|opportunities to connect, collaborate, learn collectively and create using technology. This session is suitable for all primary and secondary teachers. media type="custom" key="26431112"
 * 2. Getting the Blend Right**

Digital tools allow our students to connect, communicate and collaborate with peers and experts across the globe. This workshop session will allow you to explore some of the tools that can be used to establish connections, share ideas and implement projects. We will explore online science communities and citizen science projects. Find out how to get experts to speak to your students for Science week or to support experiments and research projects using social media. This session is suitable for all teachers, using examples from science classes. media type="custom" key="26431114"
