Teaching and Learning Regional Workshop Adelaide, Australia January 18 - 20 IB PYP Workshop Leader: Alison Rees This wiki has been set up for all the participants of workshop to record your thinking and experiences and to share them with your colleagues.

In order to make this a more environmentally sustainable activity, I'd like to try and make this as much of a paperfree workshop as possible. With this in mind, I've created the following pages for our thinking and encourage you to use them as much as possible. More pages will be added as we need them.

There are eight pages already set up. You can access them by clicking on the link over on the navigation bar to the right of this page. Every page has 4 sections:
 * Page
 * Discussion
 * History, and
 * Notify Me

The 2 main sections that we will be using are the Page and Discussion.
 * The __//Page//__ section is where we can upload activity brainstorms, photos, graphic organisers etc.
 * The //__Discussion__// section is where an on-going dialogue can be kept on different topics.

The //**Things to Bring**// page is exactly that. Please go onto this page before the workshop to see the list of documents that you'll need to bring (preferably electronically). All of these can be uploaded from the OCC. You'll also find the readings for this workshop. Please read the Kathy Short article, "A Stance on Inquiry" before the workshop.

The //**All About Me**// page is for introductions. Please go onto this page before the workshop and introduce yourself. A photo being uploaded would be great.

The //**Wonderwall**// page is for questions. Your pre-workshop questions have already been added to this page.

The //** Strategies **// page is a place for us to record the inquiry and thinking strategies that we use throughout the workshop. This is then available for all to access after the event.

The //**My Thinking**// page is for reflections and "Ah ha" moments.

The //**Useful**// page is for listing of resources, websites, etc. that other teachers might find "useful".

The //**Feedback**// page is for you to give me ideas as to how you feel the workshop is going. Your pre-workshop responses to the question "This workshop will be a success for me if . . ." have already been loaded.
