Last week Deb, Sherwin and Colleen collaborated with Paul Doherty a project officer from Learning Technologies and Steve Meredith an education officer from the Adelaide Botanic Gardens to conduct a MiLK workshop with students from three Adelaide Schools.

The aim of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens participant workshop was to apply MiLK in an institutional context outside the classroom and to test the new version, MiLK 0.5. The results of this trial is vital to our research into new possible tools and literacies that link schools to other dynamic learning spaces and ultimately to the everyday lives of the students.

The workshop ran from 9am to 3pm on Tuesday, November 27 and consisted of three main activities. In groups of three, the students played an event created by the MiLK team before creating events of their own. The groups then played each other’s events.

The day was a complete success with students playing an event, making events of their own, playing each other’s events and most importantly having fun whilst learning. A huge Thank You to Paul, Steve and the participating students and teachers! We look forward to seeing what you may do with MiLK in the future.
