Ms Cassidy's Classroom Blog - 0 views

  •  
    Ms Cassidy's Classroom blog- involves the blogs of what specific activities her class of six year olds get up to on a daily bases. This class is inviting the world into their classroom by sharing their thoughts and ideas to us all. I believe Ms Cassidy is a teacher that wants to show her students the difference between schools and what they do as a class.

PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS AND TECHNOLOGY: GENDER, TECHNOLOGY EXPERIENCE, BELIEFS AND PREDISP... - 0 views

      This aligns with the necessity for courses such as EDC3100, as it ensures more active engagement with technology
  • In this case, increasing theinteraction possibilities of pre-service teachers with computer based technologies can be put forwardas a proposal that may decrease the technophobia risk in the long term.

SpeEdChange: Changing Gears 2012: rejecting the "flip" - 2 views

  • From the 1890s until World War II homework was consistently highly controversial, with laws against it (California 1901 among many others),
    • djplaner
       
      For me, this is an illustration of "technology becoming mythic". i.e. today, many parents/teachers assume homework is a given.  And yet 100 years ago there were laws against it.
  • omework is a link from school to home that keeps parents informed about what the school is teaching, gives them a chance to participate in their children's schooling, and helps to keep the schools accountable to parents. Not to assign homework is to exclude parents from playing an active role in their children's academic development."
    • Jackie Litwinczuk
       
      I hear this quote so often but I really believe if the parents want to be involved in the children's learning, they need to spend time in their child's learning environment.
    • Justene Webb
       
      Here, here, I so agree with you Jackie so often parents only find themselves in school to make a complaint or the like never have I seen a parent just wanting to spend time in their childs classroom just to see. It would be beneficial for all if there were time when this could happen.
    • djplaner
       
      Connections with parents is important. In fact, it's one of the AITSL professional standards. But I wonder why parents don't spend more time in their child's classroom? I'm sure there would be many parents (but perhaps not all) who want to be more involved with their child's education, but who can't for various reasons.  I wonder if we can make it easier for them to be involved?
    • djplaner
       
      Actually, entirely by accident I came across this post from Nicola's blog http://nixxuni.wordpress.com/2013/07/24/using-technology-to-inform-parents/
  • Our students deserve more imaginative thinking than that. And all of our students deserve an educational environment which moves us toward equality of opportunity, not further away from that.
    • Justene Webb
       
      Equality is something that would be missed in a flipped classroom. With the cost of living increasing not all families are going to afford the technology that a flipped classroom requires students to have access to at home.
    • Colleen Lenehan
       
      Wouldn't lack of equality be bridged if the students who didn't have access to the internet went to school early or stayed back a bit later to listen to the videos. If there was supervision, what difference would it make being at school or at home for the video presentation?
    • Nicole Hunter
       
      I agree with a comment made above too, that maybe the school day needs to be re-arranged if a flipped classroom pedagogy is going to be introduced - give students time during normal school hours to watch the videos then have the classroom discussion

A Look at IT and Engineering Enrolments in Australia - Computer Science Education Resea... - 0 views

  • The graph reveals that early Computing (Information Technology) enrolments from 2001-2004 were around 7,000, however since, enrolments have dropped and tapered off to be around 5,000 enrolments.
  • we know that females are significantly underrepresented in the technology field.
  • In the graph below, you can see that female enrolments in Computing courses has dropped around 10,000 enrolments from 2002 to 2006 and has since remained relatively the same.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • However, so far, researchers have demonstrated that STEM gender gap interventions are best served by designing educational environments that will engage children in STEM-relevant activities, from the very early years of school. Engaging children early is imperative to ensure underrepresented groups, such as females, do not disengage early

leading and learning: Guy Claxton's Magnificent Eight - 0 views

  • Guy Claxton believes that teachers need to focus on how they relate to students in their classrooms. What is important , he writes, are the values embodied in how they talk, what they notice, the activities they design, the environments they create, and the examples they set day after day. These represent the culture of the class.

Bloom's Digital Taxonomy and Web 2 Tools by pip cleaves on Prezi - 1 views

  •  
    Always important to remember that the level in Blooms taxonomy really comes from what the students do and how it is used, not inherently from the tool. Some tools can be used by students to engage in activities that fit into a range of Blooms levels. The value of presentations like this is to spark ideas about how these tools can be used at specific levels.

Teaching Guide: Writing Lesson Plans - 1 views

  • Your approach to writing lesson plans will depend on various factors: how well you know the material you're teaching, how long you've been teaching, the kinds of teaching you've done, and the students you expect to have in your class. There is no single formula for writing lesson plans, but this guide will help you think through some of the processes that other instructors have found valuable to their own lesson planning.
