Behavior Management Software - ClassDojo - 2 views

    This software is currently being used at my children's school. It is like an electronic version of giving out 'stickers', etc for good behaviour. Each day I can see how well my children performed in the classroom and each week a report is generated and emailed to me. This is used in conjunction with an interactive whiteboard, where the children can touch their name/dojo character and give themselves a point for hard work, etc.

    Thought I would share, interesting idea for behaviour management using ICT. Hopefully more engaging for students

    Wow! That's a great idea. All students in any grade level like to be rewarded. I will share this link with the school I work at. Thanks!

    Love this idea! I will share with my school too

    Magical idea, Luv it. Will save a small fortune for teachers worldwide, as we tend to buy these incentives from our own back pockets in an attempt to engage kids in our classes. Even as a pre-service teacher the little buggers have already cost me......

    This is a great blog where Shaun Allison, the Deputy Head of his school in the UK, as well as the manager of the site, showcases teachers that are doing creative things; using ICT's and general good pedagogy. It is about finding & sharing teaching 'bright spots'.

    This flip chart introduces students to fractions. I would be using this with my 4/5 class. I have just used this through the ACTIVInspire program and it looks great. It is colourful with images and hidden answers for students to find.

    A free course from Stanford University focused on how to learn mathematics as a student. The ICT connection is how they use ICTs to teach this Massive Online Open Course (MOOC). But beyond this, the course might be useful for those of you slightly phobic of maths and beyond that I'm sure there will be some interesting pedagogical suggestions you could pick up for your own teaching.

      I love this idea. Even though it could be messy, it means that students have the flexibility to have their own and take care of their own devices, and also, students from low SES backgrounds can have access to similar technologies for a cheaper price, instead of forcing them to buy in on stuff. However, it could produce some class related bullying in the classroom.

      This is a definitely a situation that should be monitored for a few reasons. A lot of heirarchal behaviour can arise in classrooms and cause aggression levels to flare with the 'bring your own device' method. Children from families of a low socio economic level who can't afford a tablet, or low end netbook may feel confronted or 'lesser' by someone else fortunate enough to have the latest Macbook Air  or Alienware laptop for instance. Studies such as one performed by Hellene T. Demosthenous found that Socioeconomic disadvantage is directly related to students' general aggressiveness in and out of the classroom and that through this socioeconomic disadvantage, this aggression can be adversely associated with students' academic performance. This is not to say it is the sole cause, however it was a decidedly profound contributing factor. It should also be noted, that bullying was never linked in any conclusive or credible way to this aggressive behavior (Demosthenous, Bouhours & Demostherous, 2002, p.11). Demosthenous, H., Bouhours, T., & Demostherous, C. (2002). Socioeconomic Status and Youth Aggression In Australia (1st ed., p. 11). Brisbane: Griffith University.

  • the current situation is likely to be even more complex and diverse given the recent Digital Education Revolution, the arrival of tablets, and recent trends to "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) schemes in schools.

shared by alice dinsdale on 27 Oct 14 - No Cached
  • 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.

    While perhaps not 100% perfect for use in a school, this is a sign of things to come. A day when those Interactive White Boards are seen as klunky and old-fashioned.
  • Kylie Johnson on 10 Aug 14
     
    How times have changed since the good old Overhead Projector! I remember the days where the teacher would have folders of plastic with class notes on them and having the now very ancient projector on the table. Whereas now the amazing things that projectors and even whiteboards can do has really enhanced the learning environment.

Assignment 1 reasons to use ICT

shared by georgiac94 on 04 Mar 13 - No Cached
  • ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. For example, computer programs are available that adjust themselves to the pupils’ level and then set appropriate tasks and give feedback on performance. Used wisely, these can help pupils to move on.
  • Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than about mastering particular software applications.
  • Pupils usually enjoy using computers and other types of technology, so lessons which make use of it start off with an advantage (which is all too often squandered).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Just about every aspect of modern life involves educational technology; therefore, to not make use of it in the curriculum is anachronistic.
  • ICT places all learners on an equal footing

      this is an important area. Used correctly ICT can support students that require greater levels of scaffolding and do so in a way that allows the student to maintain control of their own learning path.
  • Educational technology puts the pupil in control (if it is well-designed), enabling her to personalise the interface, select and create resources, and even choose what to learn
    • katrina carpenter
      katrina carpenter on 07 Mar 14
       
      This needs to be managed well as few students have the skills to fully manage what they are learning. Perhaps they do however the constraints of the curriculum require they cover set criteria. Choices are available but these still need to be guided and negotiated with the teacher
  • motivating pupils
    • katrina carpenter

      motivation also extends to reduced behaviour issues in a class where students are engaged in their learning

    Believe this could be really beneficial info for Assignment 1 in regards to why we should enable the use of ICT with in the classroom - hopefully you will be able to resonate with a few pointers in context to something you may have experienced or be familiar with.

literacy numeracy

    NSW will apparently be the first of the states to introduce a literacy/numeracy test for pre-service teachers in 2016. Likely to see this spread over time.
  • Richard Gerrand on 04 Jun 14
     
    I remember a course examiner a few years ago saying that this test would likely apply to USQ pre-service teachers by the time we graduate. It seems like a good idea to me because I have seen teachers make simple, embarrassing grammatical and mathematical mistakes in class. I know that we all make mistakes, however there are some things that teachers should know by the time they leave university. A test at the end might, to some extent, uphold the standards that are expected from teachers.
