// Professional Learning that Empowers the Individual // **Tuesday, August 28, 2012** 8:30 AM - 3:00 PM What is ‘Minds On Media’ and how is it different than other technology workshops?
 * Learning Fair 2012: Engaging and Empowering 21st Century Learners presents:**

Imagine a room full of teachers who are using technology effectively in their classrooms. What could you learn from them? Join us for a fabulous event at **Learning Fair 2012: Engaging and Empowering 21st Century Learners!** This is a day-long BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) workshop with a variety of learning centres focusing on all kinds of ways that technology can transform classrooms and facilitators who will share their tips for becoming connected educators in the 21st century.

What Will You Learn?
That is up to you! Visit one of the centres or visit them all! You might be an absolute beginner or a whiz with technology - but this is about using new technologies with students through a 'tinkering' lens. You choose your ‘entry point’. Build your own plan for the day or be led by one of our facilitators. Learn what you need to know to play deeply and thoughtfully with your students this year!

Learning/Teaching Style
Each centre will provide for all types of learners by providing all modalities possible. For example, thepresenter will have on hand any number of small demos, self-guided tutorials/activities, be able to work one on one with the learner's needs and desires, be comfortable with the ebb and flow of people from centre to centre or manage the same individuals all day.
