The role of reflection and mentoring in ICT - 1 views

  •  
    My favourite line from the journal article: The metacognitive approach to ICT learning, which was developed initially as an approach to pre-service teacher education (Phelps & Ellis, 2002a, 2002b, 2002c), is founded on the premise that adoption and integration of ICT by teachers is influenced by their attitudes, beliefs, motivation, confidence and learning strategies (Higgins & Mosley, 2001; Rudd, 2001).

    For my professional development I am attending a little rural school with a total of 29 students. I rang the school and booked an appointment to meet the principal, the teacher (my mentor) and the students that I would be interacting with.

    An online market place of resources created by teachers. Interesting approach given the availability of free online resources
  •  
    This site was developed for teachers who make resources and sell direct to other teachers. You can download 1000s of free resources, but also buy at reasonable prices. Great for your toolbelt.

  • By helping children self-author and produce e-books, early childhood professionals can make the use of computers more interactive and personal.
  • PowerPoint is ideal for helping young children to make basic self-authored e-books.
  • information and communication technology (ICT) is being viewed as another tool for early childhood professionals and children to use in this domain of learning in a way that can complement the more traditional provision of literacy experiences (Hills, 2010; Parett, Quesenberry & Blum, 2010; Marks, 2007; Siraj-Blatchford & Siraj-Blatchford, 2003).
  • Brown and Murray (2006) put it, children need to be able to use ICT so that they are adequately prepared for the future

      This can be included in play-based, co-constructed classrooms by incorporating the internet, digital camera, iPad. Communication can be a simple as a menu of pictures, looking at a picture to create a mask or sea creature, to photograph a collage item and add the photo to a construction book.
  • Western society has invested print-based media with significant authority, but notions about literacy are changing. As society and technology evolve, there is a shift to an acceptance of digital forms of literacy (Jewitt & Kress, 2003). Increasingly, young children are exposed to communication tools and circumstances that are multimodal instead of solely linguistic (Hill, 2007
  • ICT as a tool for enriching the teaching and learning environment for young children.
  • They explain a mode as a ‘regularised organised set of resources for meaning-making, including image, gaze, gesture, movement, music, speech and sound effect’ (p. 2).
  • Text now refers to multiple forms of communication including information on a digital screen, video, film and other media, oral speech, television, and works of art as well as print materials. Electronic texts in particular have become part of children’s everyday lives to the extent that before they commence school, a growing number of children have more experience with electronic texts than they do with books. It is important to recognise that print is now only one of several media which transmit messages in our culture (p. 156).
  • The reading of texts has traditionally focused on decoding–encoding print’s alphabetic codes. Texts children read today, however, might be a mixture of images and print, and the delivery might be interactive with mobile forms rather than just print fixed on a page (Walsh, 2008).
  • These multi-media forms of literacy include traditional forms of print and numbers, but also hypertext, symbols, photographs, animations, movies, DVDs, video, CD-ROMs and website environments (Luke, 1999; Walsh, 2008).
  • Belonging, Being and Becoming: The Early Years Learning Framework. In particular, Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators, has a section on how they can use ICTs to access information, explore ideas and represent their thinking (Australian Government Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations [DEEWR] for the Council of Australian Governments, 2009).

      Families and parents are still a child first teacher. Teachers acknowledge and respect that each child comes to a centre with varying degrees of prior knowledge.
  • Young children may have access to certain technologies as they were already present in their homes but this did not always mean that they were allowed and/or able to use these. O’Hara’s findings support the arguments made by Marsh (2004), Smith (2005) and others that young children already have an understanding of ICT knowledge and competences when they enter formal schooling as a consequence of differing levels of parental intervention and modelling along with being able to acquire their own new information, abilities and attitudes.
  • that to read and create multimodal texts, children do need to be able to combine traditional literacy practices with the comprehension, design and manipulation of various ‘modes of image, graphics, sound and movement with text’ (p. 108).
  • Walsh (2008) and Healy (2000), we are not suggesting abandoning practices centred on the traditions of print literacy but instead propose early childhood professionals include a range of texts for young children that expand beyond the current print traditions. Self-authored e-books are one way to accomplish this, as they can create a partnership between ICT and reading.

  • a model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from an integration of four major components, two of which are subject matter knowledge and pedagogical knowledge. The other two other components of teacher knowledge also differentiate teachers from subject matter experts
  • One component is teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, ages and developmental levels, attitudes, motivations, and prior knowledge of the concepts to be taught.
  • The other component of teacher knowledge that contributes to pedagogical content knowledge is teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.

      Model of pedagogical content knowledge that results from 4 major components - (1) subject matter, (2) pedagogical knowledge, (3) teachers' knowledge of students' abilities and learning strategies, and (4) teachers' understanding of the social, political, cultural and physical environments in which students are asked to learn.
  • pedagogical content knowledge is highly specific to the concepts being taught, is much more
  • than just subject matter knowledge alone, and develops over time as a result of teaching experience.
  • What is unique about the teaching process is that it requires teachers to "transform" their subject matter knowledge for the purpose of teaching
  • why they teach specific ideas the way they do.
  • This is pedagogical content knowledge
  • Start discussions with other teachers about teaching.
  • Exchange strategies for teaching difficult concepts or dealing with specific types of students.

By mediating one’s encounters with the world, embodied artifacts constitute an integral part of cultural and individual development. First, humans embody cultural procedures through participating in social activities
