    Great video capturing the power of 21st century learning and 1:1 in Kindergarten. -- They don't need the devices to be 21st century learners that's where the PBL comes in... The devices just makes it easier to connect beyond the four walls and create and learn from an authentic audience outside the classroom.

  • Even with these tools, scaf­fold­ing is nec­es­sary.
  • 1. Con­tent Comes First Be clear about how stu­dent projects will be eval­u­ated
  • 2: Choose and Defend A Par­tic­u­lar Pre­sen­ta­tion For­mat Once stu­dents know what they want to com­mu­ni­cate, they can begin dis­cussing the clear­est means for com­mu­ni­cat­ing their ideas.

  • 3. Stu­dents “Divide and Con­quer” the Work­load
  • Divi­sion of labor should be explicit
  • Crit­i­cal ques­tions are: What needs to be writ­ten? Can that be divided into chunks? What needs to be pur­chased? Who wants to go where? When? What needs to be researched/read? Can that be divided? Can the project be divided into sec­tions so that each stu­dent is respon­si­ble for one of those sec­tions? Posters can be divided into sec­tions — Who will be respon­si­ble for which sec­tions? Pre­sen­ta­tions are divided into slides — Who will be respon­si­ble for which slides? iMovie sec­tions can be pro­duced on sep­a­rate com­put­ers and assem­bled in the end — Who will be respon­si­ble for which sec­tion? Prezis work like Pre­sen­ta­tions - Who will be respon­si­ble for each part?
  • 4. Stu­dents Plan a Time­line Time man­age­ment is one of those crit­i­cal skills that is miss­ing from the writ­ten cur­ricu­lum. The key is back­ward planning.
  • 5. Group mem­bers work as Indi­vid­u­als After stu­dents have decided on con­tent, defended a for­mat for pre­sen­ta­tion, and “divided-to-conquer” the work, they can be mean­ing­fully engaged in their own mini-projects. Each work ses­sions should have a work goal. M
  • 6. Indi­vid­u­als Com­ment on Part­ners’ Pieces Dur­ing the revi­sion and assem­bly stages, some trouble-shooting may be necessary.
  • 7. Groups Reflect on Their Work Finally, the group needs to come together and com­ment on the “fit” of all the parts.
  • 8. Allow Groups to see other Groups’ Work Some stu­dents are risk-averse. They want to work on project for­mats they know. But when they see oth­ers’ work, they have a frame­work they can use when con­sid­er­ing for­mats for other projects.
  • 9. Use Projects to Inform Report Card Com­ments Those who chose to make Prezis don’t know this, but I jot­ted down a quick report card com­ment about self-motivated learn­ing.
  • 10. Cel­e­brate! Stu­dents should cel­e­brate work well done.

  • Using an iPod Touch in the Primary Classroom Posted by Mrs Kathleen Morris on Monday, August 8th 2011      2011 is the fourth year I’ve been using an iPod Touch in my classroom. My students enjoy using these hand held devices and they can be used to enhance student learning in many different areas. In this post I will describe how we set up our iPod Touches and how we use them. Funding In 2008, I was successful in applying for a DEECD Emerging Technologies Trial Grant. We purchase 8 iPod Touches and some professional development time. Since then, our school has budgeted to purchase a small number of iPod Touches. We generally buy our iPod Touches from BigW and get the lowest memory model. More than half of the classes at our large primary school now have an iPod Touch in their room (we also have a small number of iPads that we’re beginning to trial). Equipment A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
  • A headphone splitter was purchased for each iPod Touch which allow the device to be used by a group of five students at one time.
  • While our headphone splitter works well to share one iPod between 5 students when they are listening to stories, podcast or videos, activities that involve apps are better in a 1:1 or 1:2 situation. We have found one way to get around this. If a group of students were playing an app, they might take it in turns to have a go with the app while also engaged in another related activity. For example, students could be taking it in turns to play the app Wurdle, while other students play the Boggle board game.

  • This is Tania’s website with links to some great literacy and numeracy resources for the junior primary classroom.

  • http://www.apple.com/education/apps/ipodtouch-iphone.html
  • Sample Activities
  • Students listen to various stories.
  • How-to videos from the Howcast site have been stored on the iPod and students have followed the instructions to complete a task (eg. making origami). Tip: don’t let students on the Howcast site unsupervised.
  • Students have listened to songs and sequenced cards containing the lyrics to the song
  • Students listen to a recording of instructions which they must comprehend to draw something or complete a simple task.
  • Students have watched short videos
  • Student created videos and podcasts
  • Other Ideas Tom Barrett and his readers have put together this slideshow with other ideas about using the iPod Touch in the classroom.

    "Project Goals: Students will engage in discussions with other students in the project about their country, school, hobbies, favorite activities, etc. Students will learn to respect and appreciate the opinions, cultures and customs of others. Students will be able to see the differences and similarities between themselves and others around the world. Duration: Round 1: Starting Sept/Oct 2013 Round 2: Starting February/March 2014 Targeted Grade Levels/Age Groups: Ages 7 and up. Classes will be grouped with others in a similar age range. I will do my best to connect classrooms in different areas but it all depends who signs up."

    It's now possible for a teacher to inform both student's parents in 10 seconds or less of a student's behavior, while walking around the classroom! Moments Ago is free for two weeks then only $1.99 (introductory pricing) from iTunes. A school/district version that takes care of the setup for teachers and provides reports to administrators via html webpage will soon be available. The app is currently designed for iPhone and iTouch and soon on the iPad.

  • What happens if you are cyberbullied? What should you do? Cyberbullying is when someone contacts you online or includes online content about you that is mean, threatening, or hurtful.  Always tell a trusted adult. 1. Ignore it. Don't respond.2. Save the evidence (text message, IM, Facebook page, etc.). Take a screenshot, if possible.3. Tell a trusted adult: your parent, a teacher, etc.4. If necessary, contact the administrators of the site or contact the authorities.
