Official Google Blog: App Inventor for Android - 0 views

  •  
    This looks very interesting. The potential is huge for students to develop apps for the Android platform. How can apple beat this one if they have locked down their apps store? The great thing about App inventor is that it looks like it has been modelled on Scratch 'Blocks' of building scripts. My Grade 5 and 6's (some whiz kids lower) would love to get their hands on this. The potential for them to develop their own apps for perhaps an Android tablet or smart phone is enormous. Rich and authentic possibilities for learning. Have DEECD made a wrong choice in going with the ipad?

    This is a great post on how to guide students to write powerful comments. Something that I think we should start concentrating on now that we have the blogging thing up and running.

      Google video in Google apps ed only offers limited access to a few people. This is intended for teachers.

    This site provides excellent practise opportunities in many areas but one of the best things is the Place Value stuff which uses pictures of MAB that kids can relate to.

Level 3 - Fitzroy North Primary School - 0 views

  • Students in Grades 3 and 4 this term will be investigating the factors which affect the survival of organisms living in the sea through our unit “Testing the Waters”. They will learn to distinguish between biotic and abiotic factors in the environmentand describe human influences which affect the survival of living things. We’ll be going on a fantastic excursion to Rickett’s Point to see some real sea life and talk to some local experts about our local marine environment in Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay.

Movie Making and literacy skills | illegal harmonies - 0 views

  • But beyond that againg there is the ideas of student centered learning. The kids are creating personal, meanigful things not another task set by the teacher. The teacher is acting merely as the facilitator, guiding the learning to a deeper place. The ownership of the product gives the students motivation and a greater sense of enjoyment which always enhances learning. In my role as teacher for this project I introduced the idea, showed them some simple concepts and ten basically handed it over to them, always assisting when needed and giving guidance when appropriate

      Great pedagogical practice. Student centred learning is what facilitates engagement, enjoyment and a deeper understanding of the content.
  • Creative expression is one of if not the most iportant part of life.  Humans have a desire to create and if we can use ICT to better enable children to do that while effectivly communicating their creations to others than that is fantastic.
    • Andrew Williamson
       
      This is the essence of what teaching is about. Facilitating student creativity allowing them to decide what to create how to create it and when to create it. The teacher is merely the director pointing the student towards different paths but essentially allowing them to choose.

    Awesome blog post on Movie making and literacy skills. Some great pedagogy happening with this group of students. I really like Kynan's philosophy of letting the students learn rather than intervening with teacher direction. Final cut express is a rather complicated piece of software but it looks like these kids have eaten it for breakfast
