iPads_and_opportunities_for_teaching_and.pdf - Google Drive - 8 views

    here is an article on iPads in early childhood, study carried out in an Early Childhood Education service catering for children from 3 months to 5 years.

    Thanks for sharing! My professional experience will be in a Preschool setting so it is wonderful to see how other Preschool educators have been integrating ICTs and a rationale behind their use. I've read a few articles now regarding ICT in Preschool settings an it is interesting to note that most have been from NZ! The importance their country places on ECE is amazing and obvious from these articles! Very high quality practice and passionate educators it seems. Emma

Digital cameras in early childhood settings : Children's Services - 6 views

  •  
    This Blog is about the use of digital cameras in early childhood settings.  It was a part of Week 2's work but I wanted to book mark it here because I thought it might be useful for assignment part 1.
  •  
    Hi Kate I also found this site very informative and used this in my blog. I love photos and I strongly believe that digital cameras play an important role in early childhood settings and advocate the importantance of allowing children to explore their world through using digital camera. Working in 3-5 room I have seen many positive expereinces, including behaviour management, as children use digital camera. Sadly the new qualified teacher the centre has employed views camera for "teachers' only (not even assistants can use them) and only one photo per month per child and no viewing them on the television.

The Tail Wagging the Dog - Again! | Where 2 Now? - 6 views

  • Once this program has been implemented, how do we measure our success?
    • djplaner
       
      How will you measure the success of any attempt you make when integrating ICTs into your teaching?
    • Faeza ms
       
      Perhaps by reflecting on the way ICT has transformed the learning? In what ways has ICT integration improved the quality of the learning experience?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      Going on the last comment, I guess it goes back to 1 of the Postman's theory, about there being two sides to a story. For every advantage there is always a cost involved. How do you measure the success of ICT and what is the cost involved?
    • Brooke Clark
       
      I believe that you have succeeded in incorporating ICT's in your pedagogy when students are able to achieve outcomes that they may have otherwise struggled to achieve and when the ICT component adds to the learning experience rather than deducts from it.  When you make ICT the tool rather than the lesson.
    • Sue Day
       
      well stated! I agree on the importance of the ICTs being the tool!
  • Will any student learning objectives have even been considered? Eventually, maybe. But not until after the die has been cast, defining the hardware and software parameters that will make up “the solution”.
    • djplaner
       
      This is the "technology tail" wagging the "education dog".  Technology first, learning second.
    • Teresa Morgan
       
      I'm confused by this statement. Shouldn't learning come first and then technology to enhance the learning? I might just have to go back over and read this section again from week 3.
    • djplaner
       
      "Tail wagging the dog" is meant to indicate that it is the wrong way around. In theory education should come first.
  • One would expect that any educational organisation whose primary purpose is the delivery of education, would have learning outcomes at the heart of any planning process considering the distribution of such a large allocation of money.

  • Why can’t we build our school ICT infrastructure plans around the learning needs of students, and create a quality teaching environment and professional development program that supports these needs, rather than the other way around?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      I'm a little confused? isn't this supposed to be what we are trying to do. If using the tool belt theory, aren't we meant to TEST, whether our ICT's are applicable and most appropriate?

What are ICTs?: How you use ICTs is important - 3 views

  • “while new digital technologies make a learning revolution possible, they certainly do not guarantee it” (Resnick, 2002 , p. 32).
  • in fact, is critical is “how” the technologies are used (Reimann & Goodyear, 2004)
    • Fran Gemmell
       
      This relates back to the toolbelt theory -  we need to be mindful of the purpose for which we are using ICTs and be open to new ways of doing things and new possibilities that ICTs might offer.
    • Kate Kermode
       
      Yes Fran I agree.. ICT's are fantastic tools within the classroom and can help with student engagement... but we must not forget the importance of tacticle objects and relating back to student context...
  • technologies by themselves have little scaleable or sustained impact on learning in schools” (Honey, McMillan & Carrig, 1999 in Hayes, 2003, p. 3)

  • valency as a conduit for communication, collaboration and knowledge building has the potential to transform learning.

    This is a bit of a perpetual cycle. Technology itself doesn't guarantee an education revolution but it certainly is the driving force for needing one.

Learning to Open Up History for Students: Preservice Teachers' Emerging Pedagogical Con... - 1 views

  •  
    Given students' preconceptions of history as fixed information, cultivating students' interpretive and evidence-based thinking is foundational to advancing their disciplinary understanding. This study examines the ways in which preservice history teachers construct tasks that demand students' interpretive and evidence-based thinking and attend to such thinking in their field placements while being taught to do so in their methods courses. Analysis of methods course assignments, student teaching observations, and assessments of candidates' disciplinary knowledge led to the construction of three cases of novice teachers' efforts to teach these ways of thinking to their students. The one novice who attended to her students' interpretive and evidentiary thinking translated her disciplinary knowledge into lessons that involved analysis of text in developing interpretations and gave general prompts to provide evidence in support of students' conclusions. This study highlights the role of preservice teachers' disciplinary understanding and pedagogical content knowledge in developing students' interpretive and evidentiary thinking in history classrooms.

Teachers, Teaching and ICTs | infoDev - 2 views

  • ICTs are used in education in two general ways: to support existing ‘traditional’ pedagogical practices (teacher-centric, lecture-based, rote learning) as well as to enable more learner-centric, ‘constructivist’ learning models. Research from OECD countries suggests that both are useful, but that ICTs are most effective when they help to enable learner-centric pedagogies.
  • despite rhetoric that ICTs can enable new types of teaching and learning styles, for the most part they are being used to support traditional learning practices.
    • djplaner
       
      Experience in EDC3100 supports this. People tend to use ICT to enhance existing methods, rather than for transforming what they do. Especially in Assignment 3 (which is based on Professional Experience).
  • The existence of formal and informal communities of practice and peer networks can be important tools to support ICT in education initiatives and activities. Such support mechanisms can be facilitated through the use of ICTs.
    • djplaner
       
      This is one of the main reasons behind the push for you to create a Personal Learning Network. A PLN is a peer network that can be an important aid to your teaching.

  • Adequate time must be allowed for teachers to develop new skills, explore their integration into their existing teaching practices and curriculum, and undertake necessary additional lesson planning, if ICTs are to be used effectively
  • Effective teacher professional development should approximate the classroom environment as much as possible. "Hands-on" instruction on ICT use is necessary where ICT is deemed to be a vital component of the teaching and learning process. In addition, professional development activities should model effective practices and behaviors and encourage and support collaboration between teachers.
    • djplaner
       
      Is EDC3100 achieving this?
  • By providing access to updated and additional learning resources, ICTs can enable teacher self-learning in his/her subject area.

Australian Money - 9 views

  •  
    This could be used in a grade here class as revision, as the students in my class would have benefited from this greatly. I like the large pictures of the money and also of what they are buying. It helps to see all of the information easily. Problems may arise when the more vocal students get involved and the struggling students will fly under the radar.
  •  
    Click and drag the money to represent the amount. Add your own image and amount to each page. 1. suitable for primary school age students 2. Simple to use 3. Works well overall

  • teacher's knowledge of science is organized from a teaching perspective and is used as a basis for helping students to understand specific concepts.
  • experienced
  • teachers teachers
  • a model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from an integration of four major components, two of which are subject matter knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. The other two other components of teacher knowledge also differentiate teachers from subject matter experts
  • One component is teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, ages and developmental levels, attitudes, motivations, and prior knowledge of the concepts to be taught.
  • The other component of teacher knowledge that contributes to pedagogical content knowledge is teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.

      Model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from 4 major components - (1) subject matter, (2) pedagogical knowledge, (3) teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, and (4) teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.
  • pedagogical content knowledge is highly specific to the concepts being taught, is much more
  • than just subject matter knowledge alone, and develops over time as a result of teaching experience.
  • What is unique about the teaching process is that it requires teachers to "transform" their subject matter knowledge for the purpose of teaching
  • why they teach specific ideas the way they do.
  • This is pedagogical content knowledge
  • Start discussions with other teachers about teaching.
  • Exchange strategies for teaching difficult concepts or dealing with specific types of students.
  • peer coaching
