What is Phill Cantone Edtech Consultancy?I provide support to teachers and ES staff in understanding the potential power of iPads in the classroom, and on how to use them with efficiency and confidence.
Who I amAfter completing my Masters Degree in Primary Teaching, I spent several years as a classroom teacher in a 1-1 iPad school. This opportunity allowed me to explore the various ways I could incorporate the iPad in the classroom; always remembering to engage the students as content creators rather than content consumers.
In 2015 I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in Apple’s “Towards Transformation” Program, and since 2016 I have been an Edtech coach, delivering workshops and talks, as well as mentoring individual teachers. My workshops demonstrate how students from Prep – Year 6 can use iPads as a tool to aid their education. iPads, when used to their fullest potential, increase student engagement and learning. They also provide a platform to introduce individualised learning, and give students the opportunities to demonstrate their understandings in a thorough manner.
As a former teacher I understand the pressures teachers are under, and my workshops also share ways in which iPads can be used to increase a teacher’s efficiency and streamline various classroom processes. |
