Post that talks about an embedded video based on a PhD thesis about how and if students actually learn anything from watching videos (often not) and offers some advice about how to create/identify videos that might actually help students learn (start by directly addressing common misconceptions)
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
