Hi Noah, This page has give me a succinct list of ideas of digital tools I can incorporate in my assignment work, as well as life outside of, and beyond university. I like seeing the familiar Bloom's Taxonomy applied to the digital age. It's a great addition to my DIIGO library. Thanks for sharing. Christine

An open book designed for university instructors to provide advice about teaching and learning in a digital age. Yet, still some interesting coverage of some topics that may be of interest or relevance.

"Kristy Goodwin of Macquarie University to study what she calls Digital Games Based Learning (DGBL)"

Interesting idea on ability of deep comprehension when using digital reading tools.

I thought I'd post this short movie. It's an example of ICT activities being done in a class I had my last practicum in. It is a simple activity that the teacher did, using ICTs that were readily availble.. The teacher takes a traditional printed text being used in guided reading (PM readers) and helps the students produce a digital text based on the language used in the original text. Students select images from google images and then use a digital camera to take photos or video, and manipulate the images using IWB software, to place themselves in the digital text. The images are uploaeded into Movie Maker where additonal text, ddialogue and sound are added. The finished artefact is then uploaded toYouTube so that it can be placed on the school website for sharing. The students and their families can view the new digital text at home. The movie is also presented at the school assembly. The teacher does ICT activities like this on a regular basis in English. If you google Tyalgum Public School and click on More News you can view other ICT activities the Kindergarten, Year , Year 2 class did. I think this type of ICT activity gives the students a sense of ownership of their learning.

This is a great activity. Just emphasises how important it is that we know how to use all of these ICTs in the classroom because if we don't know them this activity could take a long time or ICTs wouldn't be used in such a great way. Out of interest how long did it take?
