The Impact and Playful Opportunities of Future Technologies
Channel: SSIS Official

Presenter: Cecil Mack
In this hands on digital workshop, teachers will have exposure to a range of technologies that are accessible online, free, or easy to use apply to a classroom. Ranging between grades 3 to 10, these platforms will share some of the growing and stabilizing initiatives that helped UNIS adapt to the pandemic and then transitioned back on campus. We hope to share some wisdom from what we have learned as other schools return to campus sooner than later. We will delve into...

How we use Padlet to optimize the existing and 'endorsed apps' of our school, bring people together by tracking the growth of baby ducks, and curate tutorials useful to our Bridge Programme for remote learning. How students use Adobe Spark to work collaboratively on min-documentaries that could be shared with teachers prior to exporting. This collection will be available for multiple schools all over the world to share.
How we used Google Photos / Vidigami in a project we titled "Window into UNIS" for new and returning parents to virtually visit campus and view hundreds of videos across a few days assembled into video collages based on themes. You'll also learn how we use facial recognition to ensure the "no-photo" listed students are not included in the final product.
How artificial intelligence will impact every subject and grade level and how schools need to be prepared for what comes next. With the Google Experiment, Teachable Machine, students are able to build web-based programs that can learn to hear, see, or identify their target media with a specific task.
