What would have happened if we had listened to these folk.  Will use a version of this in a lecture tomorrow.

Tallyn, my wife is currently studying for a big test, one that will take 5 or 6 hours. One of her biggest concerns is having to write with pen and paper for that long. Something she rarely does and knows will cause great pain in her hand. Let alone the pain caused to the marker by having to try and read my wife's handwriting. In 50 to 500 times there will be people laughing hard at us for thinking the ability to write with a pen was essential.

You can almost picture your grandchildren laughing at you for picking up a pen and paper to write your to do list can't you?? It is an exciting time we live in though:-)) Good luck to your wife.. she will need a hand massage after that sized written test..

Article on 9 elements of digital citizenship. Interesting read after the Connect.ed modules.

Lot of insights in here that EDC3100 needs to take to heart.

I recall seeing this in another course and kept the link in my UNI FAVOURITES folder (which is now a fairly sizable resource...). Two things I took again from this article, was 1. The joy of going back and listening to John Hattie and 2. the Feedback Essentials - "Whether feedback is just there to be grasped or is provided by another person, helpful feedback is goal-referenced; tangible and transparent; actionable; user-friendly (specific and personalized); timely; ongoing; and consistent. I always kept this in the back of my mind and it never fails to flag when FEEDBACK is mentioned.

Article talking about a different perspective (and examples) of how to teach mathematics. Not directly related to ICTs, but will likely be used in the Week 2 learning path and later to make a number of important points.

''They also miss the essential point-that mathematics is fundamentally about patterns and structures, rather than "little manipulations of numbers,"....'' How true this is! I had to go to uni in order to be exposed to the beauty of numers and maths, learn about Fibonacci and see the world differently! If anyone is interested here is a very nice video about the simplicity and beauty of our world and I am sure that ICT has its place in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahXIMUkSXX0

Hi all, I've found a useful resource that I plan on implementing during professional experience. The web page features multiple lesson plans and other items of use that will become essential in teaching students, ensuring that their education is of the highest standard. Regards, Corey Kempthorne

This is great, I am also specialising in HPE so this will be useful for my degree. Thanks for sharing. Erin Cameron
