    Class resource for behaviour management reinforcement and tracking

    This is a great tool...I have tested on my own kids lol. Just received an email recently stating that this app can now be used "school wide" as opposed to just in one classroom. Therefore teachers can share behaviour management strategies throughout the school.

    I feel this fits in the 'Augmentation' section of the SAMR. It enhances your current Behavioural Management strategies, but does not replace. If I was still in the classroom, I would definitely be using this resource.

    This software is currently being used at my children's school. It is like an electronic version of giving out 'stickers', etc for good behaviour. Each day I can see how well my children performed in the classroom and each week a report is generated and emailed to me. This is used in conjunction with an interactive whiteboard, where the children can touch their name/dojo character and give themselves a point for hard work, etc.

    The view of one UK-based teacher educator about the nature of the digital age, the requirements of education in such an age, and the mismatch between those requirements and schooling. It points to some of the tension between the rise of standardised curricula (e.g. the Australian curriculum) where all learning is predefined and the characteristics of the digital age. In particular, suggests some challenges when working within the existing schooling system and attempting to use ICTs to transform student learning.

      I love this idea. Even though it could be messy, it means that students have the flexibility to have their own and take care of their own devices, and also, students from low SES backgrounds can have access to similar technologies for a cheaper price, instead of forcing them to buy in on stuff. However, it could produce some class related bullying in the classroom.

      This is a definitely a situation that should be monitored for a few reasons. A lot of heirarchal behaviour can arise in classrooms and cause aggression levels to flare with the 'bring your own device' method. Children from families of a low socio economic level who can't afford a tablet, or low end netbook may feel confronted or 'lesser' by someone else fortunate enough to have the latest Macbook Air  or Alienware laptop for instance. Studies such as one performed by Hellene T. Demosthenous found that Socioeconomic disadvantage is directly related to students' general aggressiveness in and out of the classroom and that through this socioeconomic disadvantage, this aggression can be adversely associated with students' academic performance. This is not to say it is the sole cause, however it was a decidedly profound contributing factor. It should also be noted, that bullying was never linked in any conclusive or credible way to this aggressive behavior (Demosthenous, Bouhours & Demostherous, 2002, p.11).

    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.

I can also see a strong link to extrinsic rewards and Skinners behaviourism.

    The question of motivation - intrinsic versus extrinsic - is often brought up around gamification and its relative badges. There is some interesting work moving discussion of motivation beyond this dualism. It may be more complex.

  • Ryan defines interactivity as “the computer’s ability to take in voluntary or involuntary user input and to adjust its behaviour accordingly.” (Ryan 2006: 98)
  • This traditional form of a plot is derived from Aristotle (Lane 1947: 58), and is conventionally represented as ‘Freytag’s Triangle’, which starts from an exposition, moves through a complication or rising action to a crisis point, and finally to a resolution (Freytag 1968: 105). This movement from beginning to end can also be seen as what Laurel calls the ‘flying wedge’, which consists of “a progression from the possible to the probable to the necessary” (Laurel 1993: 70).

Assignment 1 reasons to use ICT

shared by georgiac94 on 04 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. For example, computer programs are available that adjust themselves to the pupils’ level and then set appropriate tasks and give feedback on performance. Used wisely, these can help pupils to move on.
  • Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than about mastering particular software applications.
  • Pupils usually enjoy using computers and other types of technology, so lessons which make use of it start off with an advantage (which is all too often squandered).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Just about every aspect of modern life involves educational technology; therefore, to not make use of it in the curriculum is anachronistic.
