Speakers: Scott Hayden, digital innovation specialist, Basingstoke College of Technology Sky Caves, learning technology apprentice, Basingstoke College of Technology ​ The digital team at Basingstoke College of Technology has just finished its first year of helping every course create one hour of timetabled blended learning as part of the curriculum for all students. In this session two of the team will share some the most impactful, meaningful, and innovative ways in which digital pedagogy has developed students employability and enhanced their subject knowledge. Participants will share what creative projects they want to get going in 2017/18 and will connect with like-minded educators to either share with or start a collaboration with another institution.

9. twitter

10. By having a hashtag debate/ question you can capture evidence from all the students that can then
lead into Socratic and Cascaded questions in the room.
Students can use it to
demonstrate digital
literacy,
communication
skills, while
providing you with an
opportunity for peer
review of spelling and
syntax.

13. Live-streaming

14. Place your screenshot here

15. Broadcast live video from your phone or tablet - great
for debates/ advertising your course
Periscope tweets a link that people can view live or replay
later
Develops the students digital literacy, critical thinking,
communication and collaboration skills

18. The more confident/ vocal learners often
choose to articulate their response on camera
to their American cousins...
...the less confident/ vocal students can take
to twitter to craft their response/
favourite/ retweet/ respond to others.

20. snapchat

21. What was most
interesting was the
collaborative
peer review and
commenting on the
work which then lead
to consolidation and
testing of knowledge
amongst the auto
students watching
Auto students bradley and saif
working together to document their
process and progress...

22. Linked in

24. Students work hard to earn endorsement of
their skills from their peers
Recommendations are written by me for the
best performances which appear on their
profile
It can be used it as an online CV/ calling card
for Employers and Universities
Networking with professionals and honing
the profile becomes a point of pride

25. bingo!

26. instagram

27. Students photograph their
work to evidence their
process and annotate the
pictures with text to
encourage peer reflection
and collaborative
evaluation at each stage of
a project.

28. Place your screenshot here

29. G SUITE
(formerly
google apps)

30. This is a great instant messaging/ video
app that allows you and your students to
stay in touch/ collaborate with one
another or in group work

32. All of our Students use their g suite
account to access coursework via the app
or the browser
The intuitive social media style aesthetic
has engaged the learners and served us
well in 16/17 in both ‘Blended learning’ and
traditional lectures.
All learners can access their work on the
go on any device and communicate with
staff/ peers through their account

34. Students can
collaborate on
lecture notes as a
Google Doc

35. Comic strips (photos,
Google Drawings, and
Google Slides)
Students can take photos and add them to a Google
Drawing, add speech bubbles, then save those images
and add each one to a different slide in a Google
Slides presentation to collaborate on their story.

36. bingo!

37. Youtube

38. Students can collaborate
to Create playlists of
inspiring, brilliant +
educational videos
Haven't got time?
Your students can
do it

39. Can be used for recorded screencasts of
Assignment Briefs to help learners understand
expectations and Revisit my instruction.
‘what do I have to do?’
learners revisit and have shown higher
comprehension skills as a result of this - also, i
don’t have to repeat myself

40. Screen-casted lectures can be used as a
revision/ consolidation tool as well as being
good for students who need more
opportunities to engage with the learning
As good as existing 3rd party videos are - we
have found that students engage more when it is
their teacher addressing them in a personal,
esoteric, and immediate manner

41. facebook

42. Groups are great for
consolidating/
expanding lectures
Learners caN add comments
or private message their peers
once they have been rounded
up into a group and can use it
to gather research, manage
projects, and keep one
another informed of deadlines
whilst print-screening said
evidence for their
assessments.

43. The amount of Industry contacts/
mentors/ sponsors that you can make
on social media is invaluable

44. Students work
together on these
platforms every day
to discover, learn,
watch, share, and
engage with their
world through
social media.
To not use this
opportunity is to
miss out on a chance
to developing them as
professionals

46. it's really nice to see people in the student
debate group acknowledging things
they're sharing as bias eg 'I know this is a
far right post' .
it's something which I've noticed
happening increasingly often compared to
when it started - not even just from media
students - and really reflects the impact
the group has had on critical media
consumption.

48. using these tools can help us to make sure
learning is always there, on demand, to feed
their intellectual curiosity and help them PIECE
TOGETHER INFORMATION AND create NEW IDEAS.
Our sTUDENTS are foragers, synthesisers, and
alchemists, gathering and consuming
KNOWLEDGE FROM DIVERSE SOURCES to help them
learn and understand their environmenT.
they USE what is available to them TO
collaborate, GROW, TO discover, TO plaY, AND
TO LEARN.
SO SHOULD WE.

49. Activity
Please make a pledge to try
at least one method of
collaboration to help your
students or institution in
17/18
Feel free to go and chat with
one another

is key,
