Room 112: Joanna Paolinelli : "Creating an inclusive learning environment" - (TTD, TECH) -LanguageCert

The session will be looking at the real issues that students with learning differences face and, in particular, how we can increase inclusion by supporting them and giving them the tools they need to reach their objectives. I will be looking at different inclusive methodologies and classroom ideas all aimed at motivating students. I will also be giving ideas on how to create an environment that uses collaborative, experiential, task-based learning, total physical response as well as addressing how new technologies, such as virtual reality, can help to make the classroom a place where ALL students can learn.
