However, from our first trawl it’s clear that the cost of this residential conference has precluded any student submissions. As veterans of the Telling Stories conferences we know how valuable it is to include the student voice and so we intend to ‘sponsor’ 4 student* places.

Student submissions should initially take the form of a 500 word ‘story’ describing how and why they use PebblePad. Of course we’re particularly interested in hearing from students who use PebblePad in a variety of ways and want to know what they think the benefits to their learning and personal/professional development are.

Proposals must be received by 08 March 2010 and should be sent to conference@pebblepad.co.uk

The 4 students submitting the best proposals will be invited to attend the conference on the 9th and 10th June with all conference fees and residential costs met by Pebble Learning. We will also contribute up to £100 towards the costs of travel.

*In this instance we intend ‘student’ to refer to any learner attending a full or part-time course who is not ordinarily employed in a teaching role.
