What is iLearning?

| Screen shot, taken directly from Sean's Fantastic Presentation (see below for embed) |
Sean kicks off the session with a Twitter Challenge, getting our collective noggins working:
He then describes how he and his students 'rethink literacy' through digital and new media in various school projects. The projects he and his students create are quite innovative. Sean's final Coetail project, 'This is My School,' a whole school, collaborative undertaking...all completed in one shot! was what inspired me to sign up for the session in the first place.
Take a look:
For our session's ice breaker, Sean had us all learn one another's names (providing a peek into our personalities) by doing emoji 😙 impersonations, inspired by this 'New Media Youtuber'.
As I have been interested in the momentum emojis have gained as a form of expression and communication, the activity had me stoked to get started with the session.
Our main challenge for the day's session was for each group to create our own New Media Project based on different prompts (emergent curriculum, phenomenon based learning, participatory culture, new media and new literacies). Our different projects would then be combined into one final project to form a cohesive take away from the day's new learning. Sean provided us with many resources to get us started.
Our group's topic was New Literacies and New Medias (and my 💗 began to sing a little, as this topic is quite closely connected to my PLC topic, 'multimodal literacy') and we began to discuss our ideas and understandings of new medias and literacies, their purposes and impact. My small group's discussion was lively and animated, as our four members brought in a variety of perspectives. (Another fantastic thing about the conference are those (divergent) conversations that take place throughout, as International Educators bring such a wealth of experience.)
After scribbling down our ideas on paper (one might argue an 'old' literacy), we got started on filming right away. Sean had installed a green screen (conveniently, right by our table) so we jumped in, using our visual and digital literacy skills to choose appropriate and as much as possible, CC background images that represented the ideas that had come out of our discussion.

In creating our segment of the video, our group expanded upon our existing interests, used our imaginations, innovated by trying out new tools (the app Touch Cast Studio allows you to add a link to a Youtube video as a background when Green Screening. Thanks for the tip, Sean!!) and pursued our individual and independent learning journeys. We also laughed. A lot.
Without further ado, here is the final video product from our session:
Back from Learning 2, Kim and I are busy implementing some of the take aways with our Stop Motion Animation Club, with plans for more New Media projects in future. Stay tuned for our students' New Media projects.
Thank you Sean for the on-going sharing and learning!!!

Youtube, Snapchat, music.ly, vlogging and the participatory culture that supports trending topics and viral phenomenon are the new normal! Reply to this tweet with a GIF explaining how you are feeling about it and add the hashtag #L2europe— Sean Walmsley (@mrseanwalmsley) March 22, 2018

I think we are officially iLearners!
