Workshop Structure

An Work-In-Progress document for the structure of the workshop. This is a list of ideas, not a list of All The Things we will do.

Idea for general flow:

• attendees form smallish groups at tables;
• each table makes a list of patterns;
• each person picks a pattern and works through improving it;
• each person presents to the table.

Basic shape

1. What are Future Friendly principles and why should you care?
   • What are some common patterns and are they Future Friendly?
   • For the patterns that aren’t, how can we make them Future Friendly?

Things to keep in mind

We salute Sharon Bowman’s Training From The Back Of The Room

Behaviour + Concept / Skill = Learning Outcome

1. Movement trumps splitting
   • Talking trumps listening
   • Images trump words
   • Writing trumps reading
   • Shorter trumps longer
   • Different trumps same

More things to remember:

• Primacy-Recency principle
• Content; activity; materials
• Provide graphic organisers
• Individual accountability
• Table demos and presentations. Less pressure, more trust.
• Collaboration over competition.
• ROI
