Participate and share: Poster 
Educational or infrastructure challenge/situation.
Through this presentation we would intend to share easy, accessible strategies for developing community service projects in middle to secondary school, which are based on the work we have done over a series of years through library clubs and classroom projects and activities, through direct and indirect service as well as through advocacy.
Technology intervention (include specific names/titles and descriptions if tools are not widely known and available).
We will be demonstrating the use of GSuite (slides, drawings, docs, blogger, sites and sheets) for teacher and student planning, presentation and development, sharing and communicating of ideas, plans and project evaluation, as well as Canva for developing powerful infographics, presentations and videos. We will also share different methods for sharing these projects using school-based social media accounts.
Models employed (include a brief description).
We will be presenting different projects along with the tools and templates used to develop them, examples of student work as well as some of the actual technologies that are available online. The presentation will take the form of a series of informal discussions with a slideshow and posters for reference.
Lesson plans or instructional activities/strategies employed (include a brief description of your instructional electronic resources or tools used):
We will be sharing a multimedia presentation with embedded links, and QR codes to additional relevant resources and templates.
Evidence of success: We will consider the presentation to be successful if the attendees walk away with ideas that they are keen to explore further in the development of community service projects in their own schools.
We will share:
5 min:
- an introduction to service learning, through the design process, for local challenges and how to link them to explorations of global challenges
- a brief overview of the projects we have run and their impacts on learning and working towards potential solutions.
10 -15 min (depending on attendee engagement and questions):
-the technologies as well as analogue methods used throughout these projects.
-potential issues and workarounds
-templates and resources
-opportunities to further explore the technologies and modify and extend ideas.
We will have 3 presenters on-site to run the presentation concurrently. This will enable us to focus on the needs and questions of the attendees in smaller groups and meet their needs throughout the presentation.
