iNet Online Conference Your school is invited to participate in the 14-21 November 2011 iNet online conference for students (from 5 to 18 years). The conference focuses on teachers and students co-constructing teaching and learning. ** The topic is ‘Learning in the hands of students’. **

Register online
To participate, students are invited to register individually online. However, in the case where whole classes are planning to participate, teachers may prefer to register themselves (although not take part on the message boards) and then pass on access information and updates to participating students.

** Students are invited to submit creative work on the theme **

Students are invited to submit resources around the conference theme, which will be published on the online conference website. These could include essays, stories, videos, poems, Powerpoint presentations or audio files (podcasts). If a large number of contributions are received, not all entries can be published (we will try!). However, we will try to ensure that every class / school is represented. Some questions to get you started include:


 * What can your teachers do to help make sure that all students can develop the skills and confidence to be responsible for their own learning?
 * Describe the learning experiences that have most inspired you. What difference has this made to how well you achieve?
 * What examples do you have to share from your school of students and teachers working together to create stimulating learning activities?
 * What opportunities do you have in school to show how innovative, creative and imaginative you are and how well you can work collaboratively?
 * How important are new technologies in making learning stimulating?
 * Rob Salkowitz, who wrote //Young World Rising,// says that three forces are reshaping the world of the 21st century: youth, ICT and entrepreneurship. What is your view on this? What difference should this make to your curriculum and learning?

//**Each **//** contributions should include the student’s age, first name and first letter of surname only (e.g. Emily F., 12 years) school and country. ** Teachers sending work on behalf of students are asked to include their own name, school, country and contact details in their email.

** Contributions should be emailed to the iNet Online Conference Manager at: ****debra@cybertext.net.au**** by 17 October 2011 ** (please email to discuss possible time extensions).

The iNet online conference for students will be held from 18 to 25 October 2010. The conference will provide an opportunity for young people around the world to share their views on how new technology should be used for their learning. Students from 5 to 18 years are asked to consider the positive and negative aspects of technology in education. This is a chance to reflect on how students around the world can gain more equal access to technological resources and training. Students are invited to assist with the creation of the online conference website by creating and submitting resources around the conference theme, including the key questions below. Resources could include original videos, poems, essays, stories, audio files and drawings. There is no cost for students / schools who wish to participate.

Key questions for discussion

· To what extent should new technology allow 21st century learning to take place when, where and how you as students choose? · What difference should new technology make to the learning of students around the world? · How ‘digitally literate’ are you? · How willing are the teachers in your school to use technology as part of your lessons? · How can young people make sure they use new technologies as part of their learning safely and intelligently? · How realistic is it to expect young people from all parts of the world to use new technology in their learning?
