  • The Technology for Rural Education Development (TECH4RED) project in the Cofimvaba schools district is a joint initiative between the Department of Science and Technology (DST), the Department of Basic Education (DBE), the Eastern Cape Department of Education (ECDoE) and the Department of Rural Development and Land Reform (DRDLR) and is aimed at contributing to the improvement of rural education through technology-led innovation.

    A project in South Africa to train teachers in a rural area to "teach with ICTs". Tablets were used. 21st Century skills training was modeled during the 10 training sessions which was spread out over 30 weeks. A tremedoes amount of learning took place. I participated in the sustainability modelling which included Total Cost of Ownership calculations. This showed that tablet replacement could be up to 50% of the yearly operations costs.

    Socrative lets teachers engage and assess their students with educational activities on tablets, laptops and smartphones. Through the use of real time questioning, instant result aggregation and visualization, teachers can gauge the whole class' current level of understanding. Socrative saves teachers time so the class can further collaborate, discuss, extend and grow as a community of learners.
  •  
    Socrative is a fun way to engage students with either polls or quizzes. I use it for vocabulary instruction primarily but if they have a device it makes it easier for them to all participate.

e-Learning Foundation - 3 views

    A charity that sets out to inspire and support schools and families to take positive action so that the education of every child is enhanced by good access to, and use of, learning technologies when and where they need them. It offers advice and guidance to schools on how to run a 1-1 access programme that is equitable for all families. It runs a Donation Management Service (DMS) that enables schools to support 1-1 tablet access even for disadgantaged children. It does this by taking over the administrative burden of making regular collections from parents, to create provision for all children to have their personal access to a computer.

Using Photostory in a primary classroom - 5 views

  •  
    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.

    I've heard of this software many times but haven't tried it yet. It must be very creative! It's time I started using it with my students!
  •  
    I've already installed it on my tablet but couldn't find time to explore. That's what I'm going to do next. Thank you!
  •  
    I have my students use this as a choice for book reports. It is a great choice for some of those creative thinkers, and it is amazing how much time/work they put into it.
  •  
    I have read good reviews about bitstrips earlier too, seems a good tool for primary students, a nice way to introduce them to writing stories. Will try it!!!!!
  •  
    super heros and super powers as well as evil characters are a good way to teach values to chilren and develop storytelling, focuss ideas, etc. I find visual thinking very good for early learning and being able to make comics is great. Thanks for sharing.

    i use http://www.codecademy.com/ to learn myself ... and for the kids http://www.tynker.com/

    There is also scratch.mit.edu/ , fantastic for computer programming. Hopscotch and Tynker are iPad applications that you can use, they are free. I agree code.org is fantastic, the hour of code occurs in December.
  •  
    I've used http;//www.codeacademy.com too and I know locally its used by secondary schools to teach coding for students. Its a fantastic tool.
  •

Your Own Technology Survey (YOTS) - 0 views

  •  
    If you are thinking about moving to a 1:1 computing strategy or are considering Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) or Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) strategies then you need to know what technology your pupils have access to. The Your Own Technology Survey (YOTS) is a free tool to help schools and researchers better understand the digital technology available to their students at home, whether they are willing, able and allowed to bring it to school on a regular basis, and how that technology might be utilized to enhance educational outcomes.
