Prepare to be amazed and inspired! The Learners Y Factor is an opportunity to showcase the innovation and ingenuity being demonstrated amongst young learners using mobile, gaming, social media or other popular technologies in their learning. What is the "Y" Factor? Well, it means different things to different people ranging from " Y bother?" to "Y it works" or if you want to be a smarty pants you could say that it represents a learning style characterised by Millennial learners or learners of "Generation Y" - the children of the digital revolution. But whatever the meaning, it's a great opportunity to showcase the innovation and ingenuity being demonstrated by young learners everywhere who are using the latest digital technologies to enhance their formal or informal learning. Such technologies might include: • inexpensive mobile computers, including netbooks But contestants are free to "innovate within the rules" because that's the key to the game - a bit like British politics! ;-) How does it work?
Contestants are individuals or teams of up to 4 players who are aged between 6 and 16 who will present their work to a panel of judges and a live audience. Everybody wins but whoever in the opinion of the audience and the judges demonstrates the most "Y" factor will be given the opportunity to present in the main conference. Who's playing this year? • Oakdale Junior School So come along, hear and see young learners working at the very leading edge using the technologies that they feel most comfortable with and then cheer them on! |
