Stephen Heppell: Racing to the Future - Total Learning - Education - Browse - Big Ideas... - 2 views

  •  
    I caught this last night on ABC program Big Ideas. It is from the Melbourne 2013 Creative Innovations conference and is of Stephen Heppell talking about changing the way we teach and learn. Most of the videos from the conference are available to watch and I'd recommend trying to see at least the 'education' related ones.

A teacher mum keeping up with the times - 5 views

  • chool begins here in Victoria on Tuesday. It is the first time in ten years that I have not spent the summer busily preparing for the new school year. That has been a strange feeling.
  • My daughter, Novalie, is 5.5 months old and I am absolutely loving motherhood. While I won’t be in the classroom this year, apart from some possible replacement teaching, I’m thankful that there are still ways to keep up with education.
  • There was a time, not so long ago, when maternity leave would mean you’re out of the ‘education loop’. Now, with blogs, Twitter and other online resources, the education community is at your finger tips.

    This is kathleen Morris and her blog page is about how to incorporate blogging into her grade 4 classroom. Even though Kathleen is on maternity leave I believe the information posted in 2013 is relevant to my assignment reasons. Another note Kathleen was a team teaching partner to Kelly Jordan who has launched her own blog this year.

    Although Kathleen is on maternity leave at the moment I found her blog posts both inspirational and incredibly helpful. She provides links to other helpful blogs as well as tips for new educators on how to stay connected. Kathleen is also a big advocator of integrating technology into our class rooms.

Should all kids learn to code? - Daniel Donahoo - ABC Splash - http://splash.abc.net.au... - 0 views

  • We shouldn’t be surprised that an industry built on computer languages should see those languages as just as important as literacy and numeracy. But are they?
  • Logic programming is at the core of much of what coders do. It is a way to look at a problem, the world, or a piece of technology and work out what to do with it. 
  • What we are actually talking about is learning the art of logic. And, despite how that sounds, learning logic can be great fun. So, when someone says “everyone needs to learn to code”, hear it as “our students would benefit from understanding logic”.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • It is important to remember that computer code is written in “languages” and language is a tool.
  •  
    Good background article about the teaching of coding skills, and the importance of logic.
