This will be a great resource for early childhood teachers to use. It is a very bright, colourful visual display of the days of the week that the children are expected to learn. Great opportunity to collaborate as a whole class.
Jump on and have a look at assessing learning and using evidence to differentiate. This is a 6 step professional development provided by The Department of Education and Training Queensland via The Learning Place.
Mr P's blog shares creative ideas to raise standards across the curriculum using technology. He also uses Instagram's social media platform to post pictures and short videos 'Time Saving Tech Tips'. These videos are quick and easy guides to help teachers save time and utilise technology to its potential in the classroom!
According to Mishra and Koehler (2006), "these new technologies can disrupt the status quo, requiring teachers to reconfigure not just their understandings of technology but of all three components [technology, pedagogy, content]" (p. 1030).
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to share with you this website called 'ICT in Everyday Learning: A Toolkit for Teachers'. This website draws on the 'TPACK' framework and provides information for teachers regarding ICT and pedagogy. The website makes explicit links between pedagogy, the Australian Curriculum, and the use of ICT to enhance pedagogy and facilitate student learning. In researching different ICTs to include in my table for Assessment Task 1, I found the 'Technology: Tools and Devices' section very useful! This section provides links to a range of ICTs across different learning areas. It was interesting to browse through these ICTs and examine which ones 'enhance' teaching and learning and which ones have the potential to 'transform' teaching and learning. I hope you find this website helpful!
Thanks for sharing this fabulous resource, Emily! I have just accessed this website, and I feel that I have accessed a new world of ICT information that is both practical and realistic to implement in the classroom.
Kind regards,
Todd
An interesting article that discusses briefly teaching students code, with some examples of games that authentically teach code. Have just seen elsewhere that coding is being increasingly included in curriculums overseas (even as early as foundation year) and is most certainly an issue that will be raised with the Australian curriculum.

These Know-Wonder-Learn charts are an excellent resource for accessing students prior knowledge on a particular subject and brainstorming new understanding. These charts could be used for students learning in all subjects and years.
FYI there is an app series called Tools 4 Students that has a range of graphic organisers including KWL charts that students can complete and share through the app.
