On 19 and 20 September, the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) hosted the 2nd Annual iPad Conference on the ISKL Melawati campus following a pre-conference job-a-like session for Technology Coaches/Facilitators. Over 200 educators traveled from throughout Asia and the Middle East to attend this conference, in addition to the 19 ISKL educators who attended, many of whom also presented. There was an amazing response to requests for presenters and an excellent range of conference offerings from Apple Distinguished Educators and experienced Technology Facilitators and Teachers. One of the highlights of the conference was the group of ISKL students who presented enthusiastically and confidently to the participants throughout the weekend. The conference gave participants skills to: integrate iPads into Early Years and Upper Elementary learning programs; become fluent in and teach several iPad applications; engage young students in meaningful learning using the iPad; understanding how to assemble a “starter kit” of iPad applications that will satisfy tech integration standards at their schools and manage iPad imaging and handling.
The keynote speaker was John Burns, Director of Creativity and Innovation at International School Services, who spoke on innovation in our schools. His focus is on scaling innovation in teaching and learning. He previously worked for Apple where he led schools and jurisdictions through transformational learning. Robyn Treyvaud, an internationally recognized expert in online safety and digital citizenship, as well as founder of Cyber Safe Kids, was a second keynote speaker and Cyber Safety Parent Workshop for ISKL families prior to the iPad Conference.
