Handheld Learning 2009

Do you have an idea that would revolutionise learning and teaching practice? 

You have 6 minutes, 40 seconds and 20 slides and your time starts NOW!

Everybody with an interest in 21st Century learning and teaching practice was invited.

It's a game.

The rules are simple. Anybody can present but you're allowed 20 images that you show for 20 seconds each giving you a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds before the next presenter is up. You can't spend 6:40 on one image/slide or 2:20 or any other denomination you can only spend 20 seconds on each image/slide. It's all part of the fun and keeps presentations concise. If the facilitator decides then the presentation may be open for discussion with the audience otherwise it's straight on to the next presenter.

Each presentation is pre-loaded onto a laptop (Powerpoint or Keynote) and then is ready to go. The facilitator will make a brief introduction of the presenter and then the talk begins. Each presentation must be configured to advance every 20 seconds, so it's up to the speaker to keep pace with their slides.

This exciting, stimulating session takes place on the FREE to attend Handheld Learning Festival Day (Monday 5th October) so anybody can take part. Get there early though because this session was very busy last year!
