Believers use a range of practices (including silence and stillness, and praying with icons and images) for preparing the body and the mind for meditative prayer, and engaging in the ‘work of meditation’. Christian iconography expresses in images the same Gospel message that Scripture communicates by words. Praying with scripture is a form of meditative prayer in the Christian tradition.

  • Religious Knowledge and Deep Understanding The beliefs, values and practices of early Church communities (c.6 BCE - c. 650 CE) were influenced by ancient Mediterranean societies such as Greece, Rome and Egypt. Recurring broad patterns of historical change (namely Construction: Searching for Unity, Order and Authenticity; Deconstruction: Challenges to Unity, Order and Authenticity; Reconstruction: Restoring unity, order and authenticity) are evident in the story of the early Church as it came to understand its nature and role in the world.

  • Religious Knowledge and Deep Understanding Grace is the gift of God that enables people to overcome sin; to love, believe and hope in God and grow in goodness. The Church names this work of grace ‘justification’. Virtues are attitudes and dispositions that guide people to ‘do good and avoid evil’. In Christian teaching, the cardinal (pivotal) virtues are prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance. Living a virtuous life - ‘doing good’ - requires knowledge and understanding, practice and perseverance.
  • sisted by the Holy Spirit, the Church draws on the teaching of Jesus and its living Tradition to respond to emerging moral questions. Catholic social teaching proposes principles for reflection, provides criteria for judgment and gives guidelines for action. A consistent theme in Catholic social teaching is that the good of people be the criterion in making moral judgments about social and economic structures.

  • eligious Knowledge and Deep Understanding The inspired writings of various religious and lay leaders (e.g. Catherine McAuley, Nano Nagle, Edmund Rice, Don Bosco, Elizabeth Seton and Mary MacKillop) responded in new ways to the needs of the faithful, especially through education, works of charity, and health care (c.1750CE-c.1918CE).

  • Respect for each person, as created in the image of God and as a reflection of God, is expressed through moral behaviour towards oneself and others. Two key principles of Catholic social teaching, namely respect for the dignity of the human person and human rights and responsibilities, provide guidelines for developing a healthy understanding of one’s personal identity and of human relationships.

  • he Eucharist draws on historical and scriptural foundations, including Last Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-28) and sacrifice. The Eucharist recalls Jesus’ example of service and love (John 13:1-20), and those who share the Eucharist are sent out to carry on Jesus’ mission in the world. The Eucharist is a means of reconciliation and forgiveness of sins as expressed through prayers and actions in the Mass (e.g. penitential rite, eucharistic prayer and prayers before communion, sign of peace). Eucharist is the primary and indispensable source of nourishment for the spiritual life of believers.
  • In a time of great challenge and change (c.1918 CE to the present), the Church had to respond philosophically and theologically to unprecedented threats to both human ecology and environmental ecology from science, technology, materialism, consumerism and political ideologies. The Church’s philosophical and theological responses involved rethinking and reforming its cultural influence, political influence, social structure, roles and relationships, economic power and evangelising mission. Recurring broad patterns of historical change (namely: Construction: Searching for Unity, Order and Authenticity; Deconstruction: Challenges to Unity, Order and Authenticity; Reconstruction: Restoring unity, order and authenticity) are evident in the story of the Church in a time of challenge and change (c. 1918 CE to the present) as it was forced to question its nature and role in the world.

    The key word here is 'Physical' education. I can only condone activities that are of physical nature. If the ICT is restricted to hands controlling a remote then I would not execute them in my PE classroom. I can see how some of these games add excitement to teaching and learning but are they still teaching the kids the fundamentals? You cannot expect a child with no experience in the water to swim proficiently or with confidence no matter how much swimming gamification practise they've had. It is unrealistic and dangerous. Gamification has the ability to help correct techniques in elite athletes and create visuals for young children but is it really helping them with their stamina? Are they giving a 100% or just doing it half-heartedly, more for the fun? Physical education is just that ... physical. It helps your lungs develop and makes you stronger, fitter and healthier. I don't know whether I am for or against ICT in P.E.
  • djplaner on 15 Mar 13
     
    I didn't look very far in his blog, but it does appear that only the first post is talking about gamification. There are other post where he is exploring a range of resources associated with both the health theory side and also the physical movement. The rationale for sharing this was for the entire blog. To see a HPE teacher that is engaging with a whole range of ICTs, including some you may have problems with.
  • anonymous on 28 Mar 14
     
    He does discuss other reasons why ICTs should be used in classes, but unfortunately doesn't give enough practical examples. The gamification he talks about most specifically is a dance game on the wii. Now of course the students are taking part in a game, but their bodies are moving just like they would be if they were dancing without the use of the game, so it is definitely physical. Using these types of games in your teaching shouldn't outweigh the the students taking part in physical activity or sports and training, but it should supplement it. I think using ICTs in HPE will help to improve motivation and interest in students who are uninterested in sport, which is a big focus that teachers face, particularly with junior high school girls. Using these games to get them interested is better than forcing them to take part in an activity where they aren't going to put in much effort anyway. ICTs are also immensely beneficial to students studying PE in senior, as a lot more of the focus is on technique and improvement, so using videos to view performance and receive feedback is great for these students. Especially the apps and programs you can get nowadays that let you pause and rewind video, play in slow motion, and draw on the screen (to check if your body is creating the right angles in the movement etc). In primary they wouldn't be so concerned with technique improvement like this, but ICTs can be used to expose students to sports that they wouldn't normally see or experience. Primary students could research and create their own games and sports using the internet and computers. (It is harder for me to think about the primary context, because I haven't had much to do with it). I am sure there are many ways ICTs can be incorporated in the Primary HPE setting, you just need to think outside the box.

      This statement links TPACK nicely for me.  
  • We have understood for a long time that expert teachers are those who can bring together their deep knowledge of subject matter with profound understanding of what is good for learning. The combination has been described as Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and is more than the simple addition of two parts. The fusion is what enabled expert 20th century teachers to transform subject content and represent it in ways that made it accessible to individual learners in their specific contexts.
    • Michelle Thompson

      I love the first sentence. I would class an expert teacher as one who covers all PCK in a way that engages students' full attention.

      Agreed, in addition I find the last part of the paragraph insightful. The expert teacher transforms subject content and makes it accessible to individual learners. The idea that the teacher uses their content knowledge and their pedagogic knowledge to integrate technology in such a manner that it transforms content so as to meet individual needs. I find this conceptual picture of an expert teacher very inspirational.

      Absolutely, this is the crux of what we should be doing as educators - not just trying to make it fun, but fulfil the curricula requirements in such a way that it is engaging and meets standards.
    • Holly Hawkings
      Holly Hawkings on 10 Mar 13
       
      I also think that this underpins exactly what we need to do as teacher, to be able to create engaging and interactive lessons that not only meet the criteria of the curricular but are interesting and useful for the students using methods that excite and engage. 
    • Sue Day
      Sue Day on 12 Mar 13
       
      The last part of this statement,to me, means constructing knowledge by building on learning that has already taken place- using engaging and age appropriate tools.

      Faeza ms on 13 Mar 13
       
      I find the idea of finding an appropriate tool for the task to be crucial. An appropriate tool will engage and enhance the learning experience, an inappropriate tool could lead to negative experiences and negative attitudes towards technology.

    Upon researching a 'sharing teacher' - a teacher that is sharing what they do online, I stumbled aimlessly across a weblog entitled Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog. This weblog is from a class of 6 year olds in Canada and not only shares pictures and special activities going on within the classroom, i.e. Pancake Day, but also invaluable ICT resources such as Videos Just For Us and Learning with Twitter. The absolute BEST thing about this weblog though is that the 20 students in the class and actively involved within the ICT. They can comment and add any discussion to the page they like about their learning and the teacher provides an individual page for each student which they are solely responsible for keeping up to date, and posting evidence of their learnings. This is an exceptional idea of incorporating ICT into student learning as well as provide student parents and families an artefact in which they can see exactly their students learning and development.

    Kathy Cassidy is a teacher in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. She is a first grade teacher who uses her blog to share the learning of her students with the world. Within her blog each child has a separate blog where they share heir activities and learning with videos pictures and posts. I have found this excellent as it allows the children to develop ICT skills early in their education and gives the parents and insight of why it is a great way to learn and allows them to see how there children are learning. her blog is always updated with will be great to follow for the rest of the semester and future. i was drawn to Kathy's blog as she teaches in the same context I do and reading her blog I felt like I knew her children and discovered more ideas to incorporate ICT'S into my pedagogy.

It also shows the use of not using ICT with lots of hands on experiences. I think it shows the importance of using both in the classroom depending on what your learning. I will definitely keep a close eye on this blog.

      Students and teachers became motivated and engaged in literacy. Students were able to have a choice between typing their stories or writing them by hand. This task was also inclusive in regards to students who might have had learning difficulties. It provided a platform for these students to express themselves creatively through the use of colours, images, written text or a variety of materials such as button, beads, different fabrics that they could cut out and paste, etc.

Such an amazing experience for the child and the school.

    I thought I'd post this short movie. It's an example of ICT activities being done in a class I had my last practicum in. It is a simple activity that the teacher did, using ICTs that were readily availble.. The teacher takes a traditional printed text being used in guided reading (PM readers) and helps the students produce a digital text based on the language used in the original text. Students select images from google images and then use a digital camera to take photos or video, and manipulate the images using IWB software, to place themselves in the digital text. The images are uploaeded into Movie Maker where additonal text, ddialogue and sound are added. The finished artefact is then uploaded toYouTube so that it can be placed on the school website for sharing. The students and their families can view the new digital text at home. The movie is also presented at the school assembly. The teacher does ICT activities like this on a regular basis in English. If you google Tyalgum Public School and click on More News you can view other ICT activities the Kindergarten, Year , Year 2 class did. I think this type of ICT activity gives the students a sense of ownership of their learning.

    This is a great activity. Just emphasises how important it is that we know how to use all of these ICTs in the classroom because if we don't know them this activity could take a long time or ICTs wouldn't be used in such a great way. Out of interest how long did it take?
