    So holidays are finished and I am not on the computer as much and actually feel better for it. I think I need that breathing space of work and study so I stop reading so much into everything.

  • 1. The lesson involves the students themselves in actively using technology for inquiry learning.2. The technology is integral, not peripheral, to the learning activity.3. The lesson focuses on the mathematical concept, not the technology.4. The technology facilitates learning activities that would be more difficult or impossible for the students to accomplish without the technology.

    Technology is inseparable with education including early childhood education. With the use of technology such as laptops, pre-literacy and pre-numeracy lessons are more fun, active, and engaging for the children as it creates different ambience and promotes active learning in the classroom as well as home setting.

ICT for (I)nspiring (C)reative (T)hinking - 3 views

  •  
    This weeks task on EDC3100 involving The Decoding Learning report gave me some inspiration about my reasons for using ICT... Creativity in my drama class is something that ICTs will definitely help with I think. This link shows the relationship between ICT and inspiring creative thinking. Uni computers wont allow me to use my diigo toolbar on this piece so I cannot make highlights or annotations unfortunately.

    I read this article today and it made me think about the 'older' generations and how they cope with the new technology. It isn't going to be long and we'll become the 'older' generation. How long until we are overwhelmed with a variety of 'new' technologies we can't cope and just go back to our 'old' ways, in this case sending a letter. I'm sure some children have never sent a letter through the post office!! I also love the offer of the CEO to help teach the gentleman how to use online shopping!!
  •  
    Fair comment about the letter at the post office, but according to my own kids "the post office is where you pick up stuff from ebay" so I guess the concept is still there just the context has changed.
  •  
    Unfortunately are lot of teachers are "the older generation" as far as classroom practices are concerned. Often using technology means booking a computer labs to allow students to type their assignments (so they can read their hand writing); allowing students to email completed work instead of handing in paper copies or using a data projector to show the class a power point presentation.

      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.

  • Research also shows that students often juggle homework and entertainment.
  • At Woodside, as elsewhere, students’ use of technology is not uniform. Mr. Reilly, the principal, says their choices tend to reflect their personalities.
  • The technology has created on campuses a new set of social types — not the thespian and the jock but the texter and gamer, Facebook addict and YouTube potato. “The technology amplifies whoever you are,” Mr. Reilly says.

  • “Downtime is to the brain what sleep is to the body,” said Dr. Rich of Harvard Medical School. “But kids are in a constant mode of stimulation.”
  • “The headline is: bring back boredom,” added Dr. Rich, who last month gave a speech to the American Academy of Pediatrics entitled, “Finding Huck Finn: Reclaiming Childhood from the River of Electronic Screens.”
  • Dr. Rich said in an interview that he was not suggesting young people should toss out their devices, but rather that they embrace a more balanced approach to what he said were powerful tools necessary to compete and succeed in modern life.
  • “Today mixing music, tomorrow sound waves and physics,” he says. And he thinks the key is that they love not just the music but getting their hands on the technology. “We’re meeting them on their turf.”
  • Teachers at Woodside commonly blame technology for students’ struggles to concentrate, but they are divided over whether embracing computers is the right solution.

Line Symmetry (also called Mirror Symmetry): Level 5 - 0 views

  • Teaching strategies Activity 1: Using folding to test for lines of symmetry is a hands-on activity that allows students to explore the meaning of the concept 'line of symmetry'. Activity 2: Identifying lines of symmetry is a diagnostic resource sheet that allows teachers to identify if students have misconceptions. It can also be used as a source of ideas for the range of examples that should be presented to students. Activity 3: Symmetry in the environment allows students to relate ideas about symmetry to real-world examples. Activity 4: Silly faces uses computer software to create pictures that reveal how symmetrical we are.

How data analysis boosted the performance of Queensland school students - CIO - 0 views

  • “I don’t buy into the fact that we can get a system – and this is not a popular belief – that can do the full analysis of what students need,” he said
  • “I value the teaching profession and I think they need to look at the data that’s put out in front of them, the information that’s cut in different ways and use their ‘neck top computer’ [brain] to make some sort of valued judgement as to what the data is saying.
  • “Information can give black or white positives or negatives, but without the analytical mind of the teacher over the top understanding the student, what’s happening at home and in the classroom, they [IT] actually miss some of that analysis.”
  •  
    Magazine report of a presentation by the CIO (Chief Information Officer) of the Department of Education and Training in Queensland. The presentation talks about how using ICT to gather and enable analysis of student data is helping schools and teachers better support students.
