My+ULearn08+Reflection+and+Thoughts....

The ULearn08 was the first confernece of this calibre that I have attended. To be honest I didn't really know what to expect...

I registered myself into a range of different breakouts, some that focused on particular ICT tools (such as IWB's) that I wanted to know more about, some that foucsed on leadership in education (as this is going to be part of the focus of my post graduate studies [hopefully]) and other breakouts that focused on the changing shift in education, the new curriculum and learning in the 21st century.

Shift Happens... haha

__**My Highlights** __

There were a couple of different things that I would say were the hightlights for me.

I atteneded a Tony Ryan session, and although some of the things he covered were things I had heard him talk about before, I find his passion and enthusasim gets me really geared up about what I am doing in my classroom. This would be the same reason why I would rate the breakout i attened with Joan Dalton as another highlight, this was the final breakout i attened and by this stage (particuarrly after teh conference dinner...) i was feeling a little jaded and over it all, but i was pleasantly suprised and engaged about what she spoke about. I feel I have come away from this conference feeling very inspired about the future of education and even more passionate about the job I am doing. Some sessions gave me skills that I have walked away with and will be able to implement in my programme such as setting up a website or using the online curriculum site to aide my understanding of the new curriculum.

The whole conferene really got me thinking about how can I use my skills and knowledge and enthusiasim and passion to really enable my students to change the world????
