We like to allow about an hour for every workshop session to immerse ourselves in learning something new and getting hands on time to explore and experiment. We aim to run 4 blocks of sessions.
As we get closer to the event you will receive confirmation about the timings and workshop sessions. You can also find timings and other information in the Schedule tab.
We do not track attendance for the workshops and there is no need to indicate which sessions you are attending. It helps if you have a plan before you arrive so you can reflect on which sessions are likely to be the most helpful for your learning and the community you support.
You should bring a fully charged laptop to get the most from the hands-on workshop sessions. This can be a Mac, PC or a Chromebook. Pretty much anything with a web browser.
At the end of the event, we will share a Google Form with everyone in attendance. It will allow you to request a certificate and also share feedback on your experience.
We have prepared the following letter for your use in generating support from your school or district leadership to attend this Summit. Please feel free to customise the letter to help “make the case” for your attendance.
Feel free to email us at events@deploylearning.com with your questions.
