Breakout Presentation
Presented by
Drew Mayhills
Technology Innovation Coordinator, Shenton College
There is a clear need to contextualise contemporary education in a practical, tangible framework that progresses the idea from abstraction into something students can actually do.
The music production software Ableton Live and its dedicated instrument, Push, provide an exciting context in which to foreground rich STEAM-infused interdisciplinary teaching and learning experiences.
Drew will showcase the work he has led in school innovation using Ableton Live and how his work in this space is enhancing students’ capacity for creativity, collaboration and complex problem solving.
Intended Audience
Middle Secondary and Senior Secondary teachers;
