    A project that gathered audio of people speaking one of two texts. The audio has been combined with a Google map to show the location of the voice. You can traverse the map, select a voice and listen to it. Shows how ICTs can be used to gather and store information. And then be used to manipulate it (to present a map interface) to allow distribution.

Make your own Word Search with Discovery Education's Puzzlemaker! - 0 views

  •  
    I have often used word searchers in lesson plans on placements for two reasons, I find it a good activity to settle students into the classroom or begin a lesson and it can used to activate prior knowledge. An example I have used is teaching fractions the students had to used prior knowledge and find words the ycould remember about fractions with the word search.

      Pedagogical content knowlegde - a form of knowledge that makes teachers teachers rather than being experts in their field - the difference is in the how subject matter knowledge is organised and used --> the teacher's knowledge of a subject is organised form a teaching perspective and is used as a basis to help students understand specific concepts.

  • experienced
  • teachers teachers
  • a model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from an integration of four major components, two of which are subject matter knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. The other two other components of teacher knowledge also differentiate teachers from subject matter experts
  • One component is teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, ages and developmental levels, attitudes, motivations, and prior knowledge of the concepts to be taught.
  • The other component of teacher knowledge that contributes to pedagogical content knowledge is teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.

      Model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from 4 major components - (1) subject matter, (2) pedagogical knowledge, (3) teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, and (4) teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.
  • pedagogical content knowledge is highly specific to the concepts being taught, is much more
  • than just subject matter knowledge alone, and develops over time as a result of teaching experience.
  • What is unique about the teaching process is that it requires teachers to "transform" their subject matter knowledge for the purpose of teaching
  • why they teach specific ideas the way they do.
  • This is pedagogical content knowledge
  • Start discussions with other teachers about teaching.
  • Exchange strategies for teaching difficult concepts or dealing with specific types of students.

  •  
    "In the 360 degree video, Mike Kent, a Geography teacher, delivers a great lesson and you can look round the entire room as students and teacher move around, get things done, interact with the teacher and go through a Q&A session. It is fascinating. They're using this approach for lesson observations allowing the teacher, or their colleagues, to watch it back in full Virtual Reality. This gives the teacher a view of themselves, from the student's point of view, as well as observe 'everything' that happens in the classroom. It made me think of different possibilities….."

The Overselling of Ed Tech - Alfie Kohn - 2 views

  • y, my response to ed tech is “It depends.” And one key consideration on which it depends is the reason given for supporting it
    • djplaner
       
      'd sugest that "it depends" includes consideration of the "somewhere" in which it is being used. The class, the learners, the teacher(s), what is being learned..
  • But the rationale that I find most disturbing — despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that it’s rarely made explicit — is the idea that technology will increase our efficiency
    • djplaner
       
      And here's #2 of the "big three".
  • Other people, particularly politicians, defend technology on the grounds that it will keep our students “competitive in the global economy.”
    • djplaner
       
      The first of the "big three reason". As here, there are arguments aginst this particular reason, or at least for not having it drive the why (not) question
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • We can’t answer the question “Is tech useful in schools?” until we’ve grappled with a deeper question: “What kinds of learning should be taking place in those schools?”
    • djplaner
       
      The "theory" method from the Why (not) framework can help inform this, but you do need to question your deeper assumptions about this question. Of course, the problem you face is that the "way things are done" impacts this greatly and can limit what you can question
  • Some people seem to be drawn to technology for its own sake — because it’s cool
    • djplaner
       
      Why "goodish practice" can be a problem. Often it's what is "cool" that attracts attention.
  • Despite corporate-style declarations about the benefits of “innovation” and “disruption,” new forms of technology in the classroom mesh quite comfortably with an old-school model that consists of pouring a bunch o’ facts into empty receptacles
    • djplaner
       
      i.e. horsey horseless carriage thinking
  • Far more common, in any case, are examples of technology that take for granted, and ultimately help to perpetuate, traditional teacher-centered instruction that consists mostly of memorizing facts and practicing skills
    • djplaner
       
      This is where we can have some argument. There is some value in doing this type of stuff as long as there is amplification going on AND it's part of a broader move from traditional forms of learning to different types of learning. I'm also troubled by the "one size fits all" approach to this. "Nothing works everywhere".
  • According to an article in Education Week, “a host of national and regional surveys suggest that teachers are far more likely to use tech to make their own jobs easier and to supplement traditional instructional strategies than to put students in control of their own learning.
    • djplaner
       
      This is a danger
    • djplaner
       
      There's nothing wrong with using ICT to make your job easier, but it shouldn't be the only thing you do with it
