    Firstly, a Unit Plan what's this? In education this basically encompasses weekly lesson plans (what is taught on a day to day basis) into an overarching idea say of Mapping in the Maths curriculum. A unit plan can run for a few weeks or can be extended over many weeks when teaching a very detailed subject area.

    In my last professional experience, laptops (and direct internet access) were used as subsitutes for textbooks. This was a highly effective as students remain engaged throughout the entire lesson and it was a great experience to be able to integrate technology into every lesson.

    That got me thinking.. I have held the view that by giving children one to one laptops from grade 4 will just create a generation that don't know how to write..

    Tallyn, my wife is currently studying for a big test, one that will take 5 or 6 hours. One of her biggest concerns is having to write with pen and paper for that long. Something she rarely does and knows will cause great pain in her hand. Let alone the pain caused to the marker by having to try and read my wife's handwriting. In 50 to 500 times there will be people laughing hard at us for thinking the ability to write with a pen was essential.

    You can almost picture your grandchildren laughing at you for picking up a pen and paper to write your to do list can't you?? It is an exciting time we live in though:-)) Good luck to your wife.. she will need a hand massage after that sized written test..

      I have used new software and packages during my uni course that I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. It is great to be pushed into that uncomfortable stage while learning a new program but the achievement feeling when you have worked it out is great and very rewarding. There is so much out there that could be used in the classroom but you need to seek it out!

  • From the 1890s until World War II homework was consistently highly controversial, with laws against it (California 1901 among many others),
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 10 Aug 13
       
      For me, this is an illustration of "technology becoming mythic". i.e. today, many parents/teachers assume homework is a given.  And yet 100 years ago there were laws against it.
  • omework is a link from school to home that keeps parents informed about what the school is teaching, gives them a chance to participate in their children's schooling, and helps to keep the schools accountable to parents. Not to assign homework is to exclude parents from playing an active role in their children's academic development."
    • Jackie Litwinczuk

      I hear this quote so often but I really believe if the parents want to be involved in the children's learning, they need to spend time in their child's learning environment.

      Here, here, I so agree with you Jackie so often parents only find themselves in school to make a complaint or the like never have I seen a parent just wanting to spend time in their childs classroom just to see. It would be beneficial for all if there were time when this could happen.

      Connections with parents is important. In fact, it's one of the AITSL professional standards. But I wonder why parents don't spend more time in their child's classroom? I'm sure there would be many parents (but perhaps not all) who want to be more involved with their child's education, but who can't for various reasons.  I wonder if we can make it easier for them to be involved?

  • Our students deserve more imaginative thinking than that. And all of our students deserve an educational environment which moves us toward equality of opportunity, not further away from that.
    • Justene Webb
      Justene Webb on 13 Aug 13
       
      Equality is something that would be missed in a flipped classroom. With the cost of living increasing not all families are going to afford the technology that a flipped classroom requires students to have access to at home.
    • Colleen Lenehan
      Colleen Lenehan on 14 Aug 13
       
      Wouldn't lack of equality be bridged if the students who didn't have access to the internet went to school early or stayed back a bit later to listen to the videos. If there was supervision, what difference would it make being at school or at home for the video presentation?
    • Nicole Hunter
      Nicole Hunter on 18 Aug 13
       
      I agree with a comment made above too, that maybe the school day needs to be re-arranged if a flipped classroom pedagogy is going to be introduced - give students time during normal school hours to watch the videos then have the classroom discussion

    Reasons as to why I thought this was a good idea: - students and parents are involved - everyone in the class, all learning abilities, got involved - it gave writing a sense of purpose for the class - students could relate it to interests and real life concepts. - students took charge of what they are going to write

    Kids brainstormed ideas, wrote rough drafts, edited with classmates and teachers and created their own illustrations. Some handwrote the final draft, while others chose to type up pages. 1 "Every student in the school had a voice - whether it was an ESL student who can't speak the language, or someone who has a learning disability - everybody has a page or a book that's their own," said Remedios. 6 "It made writing meaningful and purposeful." 2 It also got the school buzzing.

    A great resource to keep in mind to encourage writers.

    An awesome way to get kids involved with books - by creating thier own. Come to think of it, it worked for Kai too back in Yr 2.

  • Teaching strategies Activity 1: Using folding to test for lines of symmetry is a hands-on activity that allows students to explore the meaning of the concept 'line of symmetry'. Activity 2: Identifying lines of symmetry is a diagnostic resource sheet that allows teachers to identify if students have misconceptions. It can also be used as a source of ideas for the range of examples that should be presented to students. Activity 3: Symmetry in the environment allows students to relate ideas about symmetry to real-world examples. Activity 4: Silly faces uses computer software to create pictures that reveal how symmetrical we are.

    This flip chart introduces students to fractions. I would be using this with my 4/5 class. I have just used this through the ACTIVInspire program and it looks great. It is colourful with images and hidden answers for students to find.

  • Toolbelt Theory is based in the concept that students must learn to assemble their own readily available collection of life solutions.
  • Task1. What needs to be done? (when possible, break the task down into component parts)
  • Environment1. Where must this be done (or is typically done)?2. Under what time constraints?3. What is the standard method of task completion?4. How does the person with the disability interact within this environment?5. Who is the task being done for? (specifics of teacher, employer, other expectations)
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Schools
  • Tools1. What tool best "bridges the gap" between the current skill set and what is needed for task completion?2. If the tool is not already "in the toolbox" (the person has been successfully trained in its use), how does the environmental timeline match with the needed learning curve?3. If it is not possible to use the "best tool" within this environment what is the "back-up tool"? How do we pre-train so the best tool can be used the next time?
  • Skills1. What specific strengths does the person with the disability bring to this task?2. What specific weaknesses interfere with that person's ability to complete the task?3. What is that person's "tool acquisition aptitude" and what tools are they currently comfortable with?
  • must be preparing students to use the technology that will be around in the next decade.
  • The goal is to empower students to continuously assess their changing needs and the ever changing technological environment that surrounds them, and allow them to build their own toolbelts of appropriate solutions to their life challenges.
  • Toolbelt Theory" suggests that we must teach our students how to analyze tasks, the task-completion environment, their own skills and capabilities, an appropriate range of available tools… and let them begin to make their own decisions.

    I found this and thought it supported the previous article regarding tool belt theory

    Aspen, did you find the info on the theory, the task or the environment?
  • Aspen Forgan on 20 Jul 13
     
    Hi Colleen, If you open the link, you will find info on all three- theory, task and environment :) The snippets above are what I highlighted

      Excellent computer resource to have in the classroom, especially younger grades and special schools/units.

    Signed my kids up to reading eggs about two weeks ago and am already seeing an improvement with my 5 year old's reading and phonic understanding. Great website. I had to pay to join but worth the money.

    Hi Reading eggs is a great resource which I have on my "Wish list'" for work. I have signed my youngest up and his interest in learning has grown as well as his improvement with reading and phonic understanding. Bec

    Hi, Reading Eggs is fantastic. I have seen it used whilst I was on practicum and the students were in the computer lab and working at their own pace. It was engaging and levelled at their ability, which I found to be the best feature of the program. As they learn they progress to the next level. Great literacy program. Thanks, Gianna
