      I think this is an important point to consider when delivering any lessons. Having children explain what they think is happening to help them understand better what they are learning and having them figure it out exercises their thinking skills.

Line Symmetry (also called Mirror Symmetry): Level 5 - 0 views

  • 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.

Would-be teachers in for testing time for before graduation - 2 views

  •  
    NSW will apparently be the first of the states to introduce a literacy/numeracy test for pre-service teachers in 2016. Likely to see this spread over time.
  •  
    I remember a course examiner a few years ago saying that this test would likely apply to USQ pre-service teachers by the time we graduate. It seems like a good idea to me because I have seen teachers make simple, embarrassing grammatical and mathematical mistakes in class. I know that we all make mistakes, however there are some things that teachers should know by the time they leave university. A test at the end might, to some extent, uphold the standards that are expected from teachers.

  • computer use supports and increases young children’s skills in the social, cognitive, language, literacy, writing, and mathematics realms.
  • They share and help one another, ask for and provide information and explanations, and collaborate to solve problems
  • Adult guidance for children using computers is associated with increases in abstract reason-ing, planning behavior, visual-motor coordination, and visual memory

Conceptual Change - Emerging Perspectives on Learning, Teaching and Technology - 1 views

  • Teaching for conceptual change primarily involves 1) uncovering students' preconceptions about a particular topic or phenomenon and 2) using various techniques to help students change their conceptual framework
  • However, outside of school, students develop strong (mis)conceptions about a wide range of concepts related to non-scientific domains, such as how the government works, principles of economics, the utility of mathematics, the reasons for the Civil Rights movement, the nature of the writing process, and the purpose of the electoral college
  • Conceptual change is not only relevant to teaching in the content areas, but it is also applicable to the professional development of teachers and administrators
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • In the early 1980's, a group of science education researchers and science philosophers at Cornell University developed a theory of conceptual change (Posner, Strike, Hewson, & Gertzog, 1982)
  • Researchers have found that learners' preconceptions can be extremely resilient and resistant to change,
  • Affective, social, and contextual factors also contribute to conceptual change. All of these factors must be considered in teaching or designing learning environments that foster conceptual change (Duit, 1999).
  • Teaching for conceptual change requires a constructivist approach in which learners take an active role in reorganizing their knowledge.
  • That is, learners must become dissatisfied with their current conceptions and accept an alternative notion as intelligible, plausible, and fruitfu
  • Nussbaum and Novick (1982): Reveal student preconceptions Discuss and evaluate preconceptions Create conceptual conflict with those preconceptions Encourage and guide conceptual restructuring
  •  
    Introduces the idea of conceptual change in the context of science. During week 1 of EDC3100 we will be looking at conceptual change as it applies to learning how to use an ICT.

Thanks Taylor, I had a look at the website but there are minimal free apps and the rest require a paid subscription, unfortunately.
