Alex's Workshop Idea

My workshop idea is to design an intergenerational workshop called:
'Take your parent/grandparent to school day'.

The workshop will have two parts:

• First part will involve a workshop with the junior class, teaching them how to use a PC. Many of the pupils will already know this, but it will reiterate what pupils already know and bring them all to the same level.
• Second part will involve the pupils inviting their parents/grandparents to school, where the pupils will then teach the adults how to use the computer. They will effectively be delivering a 'First Click' style training to them.

This could also be extended to specific workshops using specific applications, eg. Paint, Wordsearch creators, video editing, etc.

Target audience - although much of the work is carried out by the pupils, the target audience will actually be the parents/grandparents. They will feel obliged to take part as it is a 'school project'. :p

Duration - 2 half day sessions.

Kit - one computer per child/parent.

Internet safety workshop: You are what you tweet

A workshop for people who utilse social media to reach their audiance, e.g elected council members, charities, voluntary organisations, public bodies.

It will address branding and online identity, net-etiquite and laws surrounding online content, e.g. tweets, posts.

The workshop will be a combination of 'chalk and talk' - presentations, media footage - and group work to explore any preconceptions and misconceptions of social networking - advantages, disadvantages, moderation - and to examine some case studies surrounding relevant media laws.

This workshop can be delivered with limited resources - a suitable venue, PC with internet connection, flip charts/paper and pens for group work, and a projector.  Preparatory research is needed to source appropraite case studies.

Benificaries should leave the workshop feeling more confident about their online presence and with a better understanding of their rights and limitiations.

My workshop is a quick introduction to staying safe online.

Workshop will be targeted at new computer/web users

Session to last approx 1 hour

This will look at online threats such as email scams and phishing and how to identify possible threats.

Equipment required, preferably a computer per student, but could get away with just one and a projector.

Outcomes are to make new computer users aware of common scams and how to identify them.

This would be delivered in a computer suite with a projector showing examples on the screen and advising people of the potential threats online.

Workshop Idea Kevin Roberts

Introduction to Animoto 

This course would be designed primarily for older people who already have a reasonable knowledge of computing and be part of taster sessions that we are already running in North East Wales.  Essentially it would be rolled out to people who might benefit from 'second click' level training.

As Animoto is necessarily a simple application to use the sessions would last no more than an hour - as such they would need to be part of an overall package rather than the entirety.

It would address two main themes in that digital photography and video would be introduced in a fun and simple manner. It would give individuals a tangible use for their computers and enable them to show their photographs and videos in a more dynamic manner.

The kit needed would be a group of computers with internet access to Animoto (this could be C2.0 public engagement devices).  We would also need to use projector to enable us to impart the information onto screen for a larger group. We would require a main deliverer and one or two staff or volunteers.

Our outcomes would be specific in that, by the end of the session

•  Delegates would be able to log onto Animoto (having registered).
• They would have produced a free 30 second Animoto presentation using either appropriate personal or pre-supplied photographs.

These outcomes will be achieved by showing an Animoto video and showing how it was made using video and live demonstration and then allowing individuals to replicate the procedures with assistance from staff and volunteers.
