A class of young individuals ... like peas in a pod - 0 views

  • University of Melbourne primary education expert Jan Deans said schools were drawn to learning through play as a reaction to a crowded curriculum and the focus on national testing (NAPLAN).

      I have witnessed a direct influence if national testing on our school curriculum. The constant pressure to lift results in the areas of maths and literacy is forcing some schools to create streamed maths groups. We have set up streamed maths groups in grades 2 - 6 and literacy groups from 3-6. The philosophy behind this is to target the specific needs of each group rather than trusting the teacher to create an effective differentiated learning environment.  The direct impact of such a set up is that the timetable becomes even more rigid. Students on the margins of learning levels miss out on the positive learning experiences of their peers. The nature of the Maths and literacy "hour" means that its very difficult to develop long term, deep and ongoing learning situations for students.

: Netbooks, Notebooks, and Smartbooks - 0 views

  • I agree. I presented to a Board of Trustees meeting here in NZ last night about this. The BOT wanted to buy IWBs for each classroom - high-end ones at up to $7000 NZ a piece. I showed them some of the research and white papers and then showed them what they could buy as an alternative - being a lot of netbooks giving individual kids a load more power - be interesting to see what they do. One BOT member asked me if schools are now obsolete. My response was that schools are not obsolete but their walls are.

    This looks like a handy tool for maps lessons. You can do all this in google earth but having the drawing tools over laid at the top of the screen is very handy and quite user friendly for students.

Creating an emotion graph using Google forms | ICT in my Classroom - 0 views

  • Your form is complete and now you just need to add the line graph itself to the linked spreadsheet. You will see in your spreadsheet that the header (top) row is filled in with the different events from left to right. Under each column heading add the average =AVERAGE(Range) formula for the cells below, say down to 100 cells below. This will average out the different responses from your form and return a single figure. Don’t worry the survey results should always be added below your average row. I like to add the “Rounded” formatting to these cells as well. Select these average figures and click the “Chart” tool and create a line graph from this data. (These average cells could also be hidden, select the row from the left and click hide row) Find some more detailed steps to making a chart here.

      This bit confuses me some what I would have to have a look at the spread sheet once the form is created
  •  
    Wow what a cool idea. You could do this in the Lab. Would be great if we had a 1:1 program. Independent self-analysis of visual, audio or written text. Very easy to create a google form. All students who have access to our email system can do this
