This week we held our annual Digital Pedagogy Open Day. This was the fourth year of the event and the number of visitors attending, including many who have been before, is still very strong.

Over 90 teachers, deputies and principals, from all over Queensland came to spend the day learning about the opportunities to transform learning using technology across all areas of the curriculum. Teachers and students opened their classrooms to showcase the great things they do each and every day.

Following an inspiring address from Mr Graham and an amazing Keynote from Linda Pitt and the education team at Apple , who continue to support us and challenge us, visitors spent some time in classrooms before learning from our teachers during masterclass sessions after school.

Again our visitors continue to be impressed with how well our students can articulate not only what they do, but how and why.

The feedback from visitors so far has been incredible.

“It was a positive and helpful event. Loads of good information about how to succeed in using iPads and relevant apps to enhance the learning experience.”

“The students were absolutely beautiful, they were so well mannered and helpful! From the chaperones to the students in the open classrooms they were so willing to answer questions, help, and very well spoken.” It was very impressive and they definitely deserve the mention! Thank you so much for all your hard work and a great day!”

By opening our classrooms, sharing our journey and offering a selection of masterclasses, others were inspired with many ideas for how to begin their digital journey.

Congratulations to Ms Muller and the Digital Pedagogy Team for coordinating yet another successful event. Thank you to all staff who worked behind the scenes on the day and thank you to all our students for sharing your learning with the visitors.

Special thanks to our staff who stayed on until 5:00pm on a Friday, as learners themselves, or sharing what they love doing every day – empowering students by transforming learning with technology.
