Information+for+Facilitators

We are asking facilitators to try to bring from school:


 * projector
 * speakers if you need them
 * headsets if you have them

If there is something you can't borrow please let us know who you are and what you need and we will help!


 * **Name** || **Equipment I need to borrow (include quantity please)** || **Notes** ||
 * Karen KM || 5 or 6 headsets with microphones || I've got about 4 at least and a couple of microphones without headset which should also work-Brenda ||
 * Ben/Mark || 2 screens instead of one? for projection || I've ask Kate Creery to bring extra for you - Brenda ||
 * Ben/Mark || 2 iPads || I will try to bring a couple. Do you need/want anything specific on them? - Lisa U. ||
 * Maddy Davis || 1 projector || You can have mine Maddy - Brenda ||


 * Tips for Centres (from previous events) **
 * it's not like a regular workshop - some may come and go - some may stay - may return a few times to you
 * connect with their questions
 * welcome activity, challenge cards, ask them what they'd like to learn
 * you may use your wiki page as a way to direct people for an overview or a few activities
 * people vote with their feet - nothing personal if they leave they just need something else at that time
 * model how we've learned this stuff - promoting self-directed learning and empowering teachers to learn beyond the day
 * share some classroom connections and exemplars
 * having some slides cycling if you don't need the projector (or on a second laptop) might help catch people up if they come mid stream
 * Note: Remember, 'direct instruction' is not the enemy. Some people infer that when they hear that the 'learner should be in control'. In fact, //**"direct instruction is often desired, necessary and awesome if embedded within a constructivist, learner-driven environment."**// A learner may request that you 'teach' them something directly. This, by definition, demonstrates the locus of control being in the hands of the learner.

**Infrastructure:****Internet** One wired connection at each centre (or maybe just one at the critical centres - like media streaming centres) **Power:** Ron Berti assures us that the power will be adequate to support the power needs of the attendees and their laptops at each centre (facilitator laptop + Projector + 10 participants) - comings and goings will accommodate powering up Screens will be provided! They will be poster board coming from Kate Creery - thanks Kate!
 * Audio/video **

**Projectors**: we will muster up our own projectors rather than renting them (see request above!)
 * Speakers ** : Facilitators to BRING own small speakers if req'd. Gets noisy with industrial strength speakers.

Similar to this Two tables per centre - 10 chairs will be at each centre (with 10 extras at the side)
