It is important to teach digital citizenship in clear and easy to implement terms. Why? Is it because it demystifies it? Is it because it makes technology a positive force in our children's lives? Digital Citizenship education brings benefit to all. It is supportive of students, teachers, school administrators and parents. Besides that, a world where respect and kindness are brought into our digital lives benefits us all!

Student reflection of their learning related to TPACK

A fun movie aimed at year 4 students on the mathematical concept of angles.

Numeracy and ICT: cooking by numbers, an introduction to measurement, through volume and capacity.

loved this one girls....would definitely use this one in my classroom, kids will love it!!! well done

Step by step guide on how to make a chatterbox. Makes connections between shape and shapes in the community

A useful website that reflects on the Australian curriculum, ICT use in the classroom and TPACK.

Thanks Ayako. Very interesting indeed.

Thanks for sharing Ayako! I've only had a quick look at this resource, but it looks like it could be very helpful - particularly some of the lesson ideas which work in with the TPACK model and clearly highlight how the outcomes of the Australian Curriculum are being met.

A Project completed by American students using blogs

This is a really cool idea. It's so great to read about everyone's different perspectives on Alice in Wonderland. I really like the point that one of the students in the video makes - the teacher wasn't the one with the answers - they didn't insinuate to the students the type of things they should be analysing or the conclusions they should draw etc it was up to the students to analyse the story in their own way and to draw their own conclusions. Thanks for sharing :)

"A video created for educational purposes that focuses on numeracy"

This site is a excellent site if you are still not sure about using ICT within the classroom. It gives you some insight as to why its beneficial

This site is excellent if you are looking at purchasing numeracy resources. Although they are only for purchase you could still take away ideas and make them yourself.

This is a great website for numeracy resources within the classroom. Caters from receptions to year 2

This video aims to support the Australian Curriculum outcomes ACMNA 017: Recognise, describe and order Australian coins according to their value (Year 1) and ACMNA 034: Count and order small collections of Australian coins and notes according to their value (Year 2). During this video students will have the opportunity to order Australian coins and find how many ways they can add their silver coins together to make $1

"Numeracy is the capacity, confidence and disposition to use mathematics to meet the demands of learning, school, home, work, community and civic life. This perspective on numeracy emphasises the key role of applications and utility in learning the discipline of mathematics, and illustrates the way that mathematics contributes to the study of other disciplines" (ACARA, formerly the National Curriculum Board, 2009, p.5). This review asserts an understanding of numeracy as mathematics applied to real world situations as illustrated in "Banking on Numeracy: Episode 2".
