Teaching is changing. It is no longer simply about passing on knowledge to the next generation. Teachers in the 21st century, in all educational sectors, have to cope with an ever-changing cultural and technological environment. Teaching is now a design science. Like other design professionals - architects, engineers, town planners, programmers - teachers have to work out creative and evidence-based ways of improving what they do. But teaching is not treated as a design profession. Every day, teachers design and test new ways of teaching, using learning technology to help their learners. But their discoveries remain local. By representing and communicating their best ideas as structured pedagogical patterns, teachers could develop this vital professional knowledge collectively. Teacher professional development has not embedded in the teacher's everyday role the idea that they could discover something worth communicating to other teachers, or build on each others' ideas. Could the culture change? From this unique perspective on the nature of teaching, Diana Laurillard argues that a 21st century education system needs teachers who work collaboratively to design effective and innovative teaching.

In my opinion the most important thing is -given teaching will be treated as a collective design science- learning about how to apply new ways of teaching on our individual children. The newest would probably not always be the best and what worked in other schools elsewhere might not work in your own school. So let´s also stress how to individualize collective knowledge again and break it down to everyday usable teaching aid that we can evaluate.

I totally agree with your opinion about education, specially when you talk about collaborative work among teachers to help our students build knowledge .THank you

In this video, Patrick Halpin, Donabate-Portrane Educate Together National School, shows how he uses Photostory with 4th class. Working in groups, the pupils create a photostory presentation on how to create origami flowers. They will use this presentation to teach origami to junior classes.

I like working on Photostory and it's really a great software that can help in encouraging children in their story writings.

Hi Florian, we have been using Photostory with Year 3 and Year 4's (7 - 9 years olds) for a couple of years. It's such a fantastic publishing tool and so easy to use with lovely animations and music. Thanks for sharing.

Science across the World brings an international dimension to science education in schools and colleges. Students gain a global perspective on scientific issues related to their personal lives, their impacts on the environment and the varying cultural impacts of science on people in different countries.

The Study of the impact of technology in primary schools (STEPS) provides ta detailed picture of national ICT strategies and their impact in primary schools in the 27 countries of the European Union, as well as in Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway. It was carried out by European Schoolnet on behalf of the European Commission.

If you have used a sticky note you can relate to the concept of Padlet. It is a great tool for students to collaborate and share information. You can post all kinds of digital content on the wall to share ideas or brainstorm.

I have just mentored a group through their PYP exhibition, if I had known of Padlet then it would have been great. Thanks for the idea, excellent tool for collaboration.

Yes I also love using 'Padlet'. It's so versatile and effective. We will be using this tool later on in our MOOC "ICT in Primary Education.

It's a free visual bookmarking tool. It helps you compile and organise sites under a specific topic. You can share your symbaloo with your students and help them navigate only on specific sites rather than the whole web. You can also add ready-made webmixes by other teachers.

Great resource! thank you for sharing!

I was introduced to this bookmarking tool at the beginning of the year. It is an absolutely amazing tool. Your bookmarks anywhere and on any device. love it.

Meet Nearpod, an all-in-one solution for the use of mobile devices in education. Easily create interactive multimedia presentations to engage your audience. It works great with iPads and provides continuous feedback and reports

This is an online service that allows you to create interactive lessons with students. You can use it in "student-paced" mode or in "Live session" to have all your students engaging at the same time. I was able to get a School License and it has been great! The free version works great too. The only limitations are the storage space and the limited file size for each presentation. There is a Google Slide integration if you would like a more familiar experience. I like to work on Nearpod.com and import slides created in whatever software or App I'm feeling like using that day (Canva.com , Keynote , etc.). I encourage you to try it out, it is really fun and at least my students really enjoy lessons designed on Nearpod!

Edmodo is an easy way to get your students connected so they can safely collaborate, get and stay organized, and access assignments, grades, and school messages.

A great and safe tool to use with students, in my case due to the Quarantine situation, we had to move on to E-learning so quick with 7 - 8 years old students, the platform is ideally for older students but Edmodo helped a lot to keep a direct communication with students/parents in a safe online environment.

It is a great tool to bring the learner, teacher and parent all three community and make the learning happen in a wholesome way. Learners being able to work on feedforwards from the teachers and peer feedback can be implied here.
