Learning Journal - Working with C2C - 4 views

    "Working with C2C With prac coming up, I guess everyone is thinking about writing lesson plans and what they are going to do. This was always on my mind before my last prac at a Primary school. However, when I turned up, I learnt that the teacher used C2C and that all the lesson plans were already written […]"

    ICT and the Early Years
  •  
    Hi, I liked reading your article about bringing ICT into the early years education and how it can work as another teacher. In Australian schools as most pre-service teachers and if you are a parent would probably know. The children are using Reading Eggs and Matheletics. My children are in years 1 and 3 and have found these programs easy to follow and navigate through the levels with a lot of success in their learning. They can also log-in on our home computer to extend their learning further. Programs such as these are a great tool in encouraging the skills of reading and learning maths without overloading them with too much computer time.

  • 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

Snapshot of ICT use in the classroom (2011) - 0 views

    So this information is from 2011 but it gives us an idea of how much of the 'iceberg' teachers are using in the classroom. We are all likely comfortable incorporating the first few tasks/activities in our classrooms but we need to ramp up ICT use in deeper tasks to encourage HOT skills.

Trump University's Online Materials Are a Lot Better Than Your University's Online Mate... - 0 views

  • Here’s a list of what you need, from some of Schank’s early 1990s work: Learning goals – target skills or understandings the student will grapple with Mission – objective the student will pursue Cover story – a fictional background story that provides a motivational context for the activity Role – the character a student will play in the simulation Scenario operations – the activities the student will perform to achieve mission, presented in optimal sequence. Resources – the reference materials the student will use to solve the problems presented Feedback – provided by experts (usually through video) but in just-in-time segments, usually telling stories about related experiences

Games and Virtual Worlds | - 0 views

  • Computer-based games and virtual worlds provide opportunities for learners to be immersed in situations in which they can experience and get close to phenomena and processes
  • This immersion helps them develop tacit/implicit understanding and intuitions about such phenomena and processes as they think about choices, take action, and see the impact of their decisions in a meaningful context.
  • It is difficult to get the integration of games and learning right.
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Some of the best results in recent years have emerged from virtual worlds through thoughtful design of the learning environment that leveraged what we know about how children learn, especially in collaborative, technology-mediated spaces.
  • In the design perspective with the longest history, games have been viewed as conduits or vehicles for the delivery of curricular content
  • The research literature suggests three different perspectives on designing games for learning
  • Second, with the growing sophistication of game play and its rise in the general population, educators have looked for game elements or “game mechanics” that can be borrowed and transferred to educational settings to improve engagement
  • A third perspective on the role of games and virtual worlds in education is organic: looking for and exploiting curricular topics inherent in popular games
  • Virtual worlds are typically more focused on exploration than a specific game mechanic and they open up other possibilities for learning
  • Research on science learning in these multi-user immersive virtual environments (Barab, et al., 2010; Dede, 2009; Neulight et al., 2007) suggests that authentic designs and contextual narratives around science phenomena are not only engaging but also help learners acquire deep science inquiry skills and conceptual knowledge

Understanding geography teaching - pedagogical practices - 1 views

  •  
    This was the first resource I came across after Googling the title I've written above. I took the advice in the learning path in selecting my subject for my unit plan (to pick a weaker teaching area in order to strengthen it) and this resource has helped me immeasurably! It provides focus questions, PDF and video samples, as well as providing additional links surrounding developing geographical thinking and communication skills and understanding geography teaching in terms of pedagogical practices. All in all, a good find!

    I found this webpage very helpful in showing teachers how to have a strong PCK when teaching Geography.
