Presentation and Workshops

The success of the conference relies on the contribution of educators and technologists. You are invited to write and present a workshop relevant to the conference aim and themes. Delegates will include people involved in technology, both in an educational sense and in the wider community – educators from primary, secondary and tertiary sectors, and practising technologists.

The conference has a different emphasis on each day. Keynote sessions are followed by a wide choice of workshops, presentations and visits to technology-based enterprise.
This year’s conference is complemented by the Ministry of Education’s day for Technology leaders.

The TENZ 2009 Conference Committee’s aim is that all delegates will improve their understanding of Technology in the New Zealand Curriculum 2007.  Delegates will leave the conference with a kete of ideas and resources to support and improve their students’ understandings of technological practice, technological knowledge and the nature of technology.

• Tuesday: The theory behind Technology Education for the 21st Century
• Wednesday: The reality of technology education for the 21st Century
• Thursday: Technology education for you and your students

The Conference Committee would like you to present at TENZ 2009. There are three types of presentation to choose from:

A teaching presentation – this type of one hour presentation lends itself to sharing professional practice, the ‘what’s worked’ and ‘what hasn’t’ of day-to-day teaching and learning.
