- This conference is not just about the passive consumption of knowledge. The participants were very active, they themselves had to test out the tools they might need to teach the students to use, Øyvind Heimset Larsen from the IT-forum Secretariat / Vestlandsforsking.

The participants could, for example, be allowed to try to make video with their mobile, test different software that translates into text, or they learned how to program a small robot.

Activity and "Escaperoom"

The theme for this annual collection was good digital study technique, with the good judgment and professional innovation. The agenda stands for technology and learning - even for the little ones. Both local resources and nationally profiled landlords and participated with broad and diverse experience. One of the people who made a positive impression in the evaluation the participants did after the conference is Magnus Nohr from Østfold University College. His contribution is also what Mari Gunhildrud wants to emphasize as particularly useful for food. She is a teacher and member of the ICT network group in the new large municipality of Sogndal and was also enthusiastic about completely new challenges.

- The introduction itself was very short, so that we participants should solve their own tasks in a so-called "Escaperoom" arrangement. You can call this an aha experience, I was inspired to suggest that my pupils also get more activity into the learning. Finding things out and solving problems themselves is good learning, Gunhildrud says. Ho is very naked with the conference in general. When asked for a desire for the next conference, the focus is on specific operating systems / platforms.
- Making arrangements with introductions for us who use Microsoft Office would have been nice, possibly for those who have other starting points, she says.
