 * Tips for Centres (from previous events) **
 * it's not like a regular workshop - some may come and go - some may stay - may return a few times to you
 * connect with their questions
 * welcome activity, challenge cards, as them what they'd like to learn
 * you may use your wiki page as a way to direct people for an overview or a few activities
 * people vote with their feet - nothing personal if they leave they just need something else at that time
 * model how we've learned this stuff - promoting self-directed learning and empowering teachers to learn beyond the day
 * share some classroom connections and exemplars
 * having some slides cycling if you don't need the projector might help catch people up if they come mid stream
 * Note: Remember, 'direct instruction' is not the enemy. Some people infer that when they hear that the 'learner should be in control'. In fact, //**"direct instruction is often desired, necessary and awesome if embedded within a constructivist, learner-driven environment."**// A learner may request that you 'teach' them something directly. This, by definition, demonstrates the locus of control being in the hands of the learner. Direct instruction as eyes glaze over - sucks. LOL

**Infrastructure:****Internet**One wired connection at each centre (or maybe just one at the critical centres - like media streaming centres) **Power**Power grid will be laid to support the power needs of the attendees and their laptops12 outlets per centre (facilitator laptop + Projector + 10 participants) - comings and goings will accommodate powering up Screens will be provided!
 * Audio/video **

**Projectors**: we will muster up our own projectors rather than renting them (see request above!)
 * Speakers ** : Facilitators to BRING own small speakers if req'd. Gets noisy with industrial strength speakers. Or??

Similar to this Two tables per centre - 10 chairs will be at each centre (with 10 extras at the side)
