Never run out of ideas again! - 0 views

Studying EDC1300 has made me realise how much I don't know about technologies! As they aren't my strongest point I know what I have to work on, having a repertoire of resources, connecting with oth...

      Teacher recreated the Harlem Shake with his class and then tied this into learning across multiple KLA's, embedding ICTs into all of these learning areas.  Fantastic!

    WOW! He had some amazing stuff. The way he integrated technology and especially the use of IPads into the classroom is ispirational.

    Amazing! During a year 1 class today, I was amazed to see that the children had time for 'free choice learning'. After a spellling activity, the children used their words to continue practiceing by choosing activitiy of their choice.

    Interactive whiteboard games allow the whole class to engage in a learning activity at the same time. Cooperation and collaboration between the students and the teacher is used to explore problem sole, share ideas and achieve answers. In this blog I have attached a website that links to interactive whiteboard games for kindergarten to year nine.

Back-To-Rule (2001) : Stager-to-Go - 0 views

  • Back-to-school time often coincides with the arbitrary banning of toys, apparel and assorted nick-knacks from our classrooms and playgrounds. It seems as if instinct takes over whenever administrators encounter something kids care about. The reflexive impulse is to forbid these objects from the educational environment
  • There are several reasons for taking a deep breath and exercising caution before enforcing the next pog embargo. We risk alienating children from school and missing potential curriculum connections.
  • High-tech devices allowed today may integrate prohibited technologies in the future. Convergence will bring increasing power to kids and headaches for administrators. What happens when the book bag contains a laptop, the laptop contains a cell phone or sneakers contain a laptop and a cell phone?

  • Reducing classroom distractions is often cited as the rationale for this rule, but this is nonsense. If you walk into Carnegie Hall or an airplane, a polite adult asks that you please turn off your phone for the comfort or safety of those around you. Why can’t teachers do the same
  • If a student disrupts the learning environment then that action should be punished in the same way we address spitballs, note passing or talking in class. It is irrational to have different rules for infractions involving electronic devices. We must address behavior, not technology

    1000s of free resources that most of the teachers at my work use. It is great as based in UK so has similar spelling to us. Some interactive but mostly printed resources. Invaluable.

    I have used this site for years within my daycare class. I love it to bits, awesome resources. I have also seen my son's current teacher use resources from this site too. Great free printable resources. Every teachers dream.

    Motivate your students to participate in class by embedding a speaking avatar right onto your SMART Notebook software page. You can create an avatar for yourself, or your students can create their own by visiting voki.com. You can customize your character, give it a voice and add a background and theme.

A teacher mum keeping up with the times - 5 views

  • chool begins here in Victoria on Tuesday. It is the first time in ten years that I have not spent the summer busily preparing for the new school year. That has been a strange feeling.
  • My daughter, Novalie, is 5.5 months old and I am absolutely loving motherhood. While I won’t be in the classroom this year, apart from some possible replacement teaching, I’m thankful that there are still ways to keep up with education.
  • There was a time, not so long ago, when maternity leave would mean you’re out of the ‘education loop’. Now, with blogs, Twitter and other online resources, the education community is at your finger tips.

      Great use of ICT to keep her skills current and to meet current trends and changes.
  • recently wrote some tips for graduate teachers on the excellent ABC Splash site which may be of interest to educators beginning their careers next week. I enjoyed having the chance to reflect back on my own learning journey.

    This is kathleen Morris and her blog page is about how to incorporate blogging into her grade 4 classroom. Even though Kathleen is on maternity leave I believe the information posted in 2013 is relevant to my assignment reasons. Another note Kathleen was a team teaching partner to Kelly Jordan who has launched her own blog this year.

    Although Kathleen is on maternity leave at the moment I found her blog posts both inspirational and incredibly helpful. She provides links to other helpful blogs as well as tips for new educators on how to stay connected. Kathleen is also a big advocator of integrating technology into our class rooms.

    This blog is by Kathleen Morris. She is a primary school teacher in Victoria. She has a wealth of knowledge on her blog and I have been reading a post about integrating blogging into the school classroom.
  •  
    Whilst a little outdated the information is relevant and has great ideas on how to integrate ICT into Literacy.

    For those who are interested in integrating blogging into the classroom and other technologies

    A teacher currently on maternity leave, using social media to keep up to date with the current education, teaching and learning trends. Dedicated teacher to be ensuring she doesn't lose skill or ability when it's time to return.

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
