The Tail Wagging the Dog - Again! | Where 2 Now? - 6 views

  • Once this program has been implemented, how do we measure our success?

      How will you measure the success of any attempt you make when integrating ICTs into your teaching?
    • Faeza ms
       
      Perhaps by reflecting on the way ICT has transformed the learning? In what ways has ICT integration improved the quality of the learning experience?

      Going on the last comment, I guess it goes back to 1 of the Postman's theory, about there being two sides to a story. For every advantage there is always a cost involved. How do you measure the success of ICT and what is the cost involved?
    • Brooke Clark
       
      I believe that you have succeeded in incorporating ICT's in your pedagogy when students are able to achieve outcomes that they may have otherwise struggled to achieve and when the ICT component adds to the learning experience rather than deducts from it.  When you make ICT the tool rather than the lesson.
    • Sue Day
       
      well stated! I agree on the importance of the ICTs being the tool!
  • Will any student learning objectives have even been considered? Eventually, maybe. But not until after the die has been cast, defining the hardware and software parameters that will make up “the solution”.

      This is the "technology tail" wagging the "education dog".  Technology first, learning second.
    • Teresa Morgan
       
      I'm confused by this statement. Shouldn't learning come first and then technology to enhance the learning? I might just have to go back over and read this section again from week 3.
    • djplaner
       
      "Tail wagging the dog" is meant to indicate that it is the wrong way around. In theory education should come first.
  • One would expect that any educational organisation whose primary purpose is the delivery of education, would have learning outcomes at the heart of any planning process considering the distribution of such a large allocation of money.

  • Why can’t we build our school ICT infrastructure plans around the learning needs of students, and create a quality teaching environment and professional development program that supports these needs, rather than the other way around?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      I'm a little confused? isn't this supposed to be what we are trying to do. If using the tool belt theory, aren't we meant to TEST, whether our ICT's are applicable and most appropriate?

    Another "EduDoggy" example. This time in the context of NSW schools and the Federal Government's recent "Digital Education Revolution".  This is only of interest to make the EduDoggy point and will be pointed to (maybe) during next week's content.

Through our eyes: series 1 - 0 views

  • This resource also provides a very valuable source of information for Year 3 History for local area studies of Language groups in north-western NSW and discusses the importance of Country and Place to Aboriginal peoples.
  •  
    Series of 18 short videos providing insights into the land management practices and social, spiritual and cultural knowledge of the Ngemba, Kamilaroi and Euahlayi Aboriginal language groups in north-western NSW. The videos are presented by the Aboriginal Elders and knowledge-holders and cover a range of topics including the cultural use of billabongs and gilgai, the use of native foods and medicines and traditional stories from the region. Some of the videos explore the European water management practices on the ecology of the catchment and the importance of sustainable land and water management.

Gamification in the classroom | missaliceleung - 4 views

  •  
    NSW Science teacher explaining how she's redesigned a Unit of Work using gamification principles.
  •  
    Very interesting. After watching the you tube clip on game layer I can see how much I am being manipulated. I can also see that it is inevitable. I just shopped at coles and got my 10% my items reward mnnnn oh well. Coles are very clever players in the marketing world of gaming. 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.

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.

Digital cameras in early childhood settings : Children's Services - 6 views

  •  
    This Blog is about the use of digital cameras in early childhood settings.  It was a part of Week 2's work but I wanted to book mark it here because I thought it might be useful for assignment part 1.
  •  
    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.
