Event Details

Overview: This weekend is about “Advancing Excellence in Learning Through Educational Alternatives & Supplements”. It also doubles as our focus group for parents who have submitted interest in sending their children to a career camp.  We will be focusing on innovative technologies and best practices for educators on Friday and will cover topics such as how to podcast lessons for students, voice recognition tools for advanced literacy, and the impact of social media on lifelong learning.  Saturday is focused on parents and their middle through high school aged children, and will cover exciting topics such as world trade & the global classroom, google earth ideas for field trips, reducing your homework load using your iPod, and an exciting demonstration on Dorothy Hopkins’s “No Parent Left Behind” series.*

Hosted By

The LearnShop



We, The LearnShop, are dedicated to lifelong learning and conduct fun activities with corporations, groups, and individuals. Through our alliances and expertise, we deliver custom on-site training, e-learning solutions, and even team building.

We also have an exclusive division of verified pros who coach, tutor, or teach independently, and offer their own suite of on-demand classes to customers at our locations or online.


WHAT'S THE POINT?

Modeled after the "Learning Regions" program in the EU, learnshops differ from standalone workshops and traditional academia because they target the need for lifelong learning (LLL) within our communities and enterprises. It is an inclusive, local approach to a global problem that, with continued adoption, successfully addresses:

  • Development of knowledge networks through blended learning

  • Easier access to training, education, & apprenticeship

  • Motivating more people to take part in non-mandated continuing education & introduce learnshops to others

  • Encouraging peer-to-peer learning and teaching

  • Unlocking student clubs, associations, enterprises & their employees to LLL

  • Quality assurance in educational guidance

  •
Promoting the inherent creativity of our local educators
