ICT in the Humanities

You have a chance to attend a one day workshop in Central London called ICT for HUMANITIES which is being organised by InThinking and delivered by Richard Allaway of GeographyalltheWay



ICT for Humanities

10:00h - 17:00h, Saturday 1st October
Venue: Southbank School
Workshop Leader: Richard Allaway
Workshop details: 
Working on your own laptops, we will look at developing ICT skills and strategies that will make your life as a humanities teacher easier. The aim of the four sessions is to introduce a series of online tools, focusing on attaining fluency in a small number of tools rather than blasting you with too much information!
  • "Social Bookmarking": We will use the online service Diigo to share your favourite website and online resources. We will explore the ease in which you can share resources, annotate the useful bits on webpages and set up 'groups'.
  • "A Systems Approach to ICT": How could a range of ICT tools be integrated into your day to day work flow? Which ICT tools do I use most frequently? Why might you want to use them?
  • "Google Apps": Google produces an extensive range of free online tools. We will look at how to use some of the best. We will focus on using them efficiently in your planning and preparation and using them to benefit the teaching and learning of your students.
  • "Blogging with Posterous": We will look at what a blog is and why you might want to set one up. We will concentrate our attentions upon the Posterous blogging service - it's free and just requires you to be able to send an email!
