    Early Childhood Blog promoting outdoor 'free range' play and pedagogy
  •  
    A very informative blog about preschool, play, early childhood education, learning outdoors, play outdoors, children and nature and play activities specific to kindergarten.
  •  
    I follow this group on Facebook and love seeing all,of their post. They post ideas and believes that should just be second nature to all childhood teachers though sadly are not. Play really does hold such an important role in the learning of young children, whether it is using the natural environment or ICT resources, allow children to be children and enjoy their childhood and let them learn naturally not through over processed activities designed by teachers that just need to meet paper work requirements.
  •  
    This blog is full of fantastic ideas, resources and creativity for early childhood teachers, and pre service teachers.

    Upon researching a 'sharing teacher' - a teacher that is sharing what they do online, I stumbled aimlessly across a weblog entitled Ms. Cassidy's Classroom Blog. This weblog is from a class of 6 year olds in Canada and not only shares pictures and special activities going on within the classroom, i.e. Pancake Day, but also invaluable ICT resources such as Videos Just For Us and Learning with Twitter. The absolute BEST thing about this weblog though is that the 20 students in the class and actively involved within the ICT. They can comment and add any discussion to the page they like about their learning and the teacher provides an individual page for each student which they are solely responsible for keeping up to date, and posting evidence of their learnings. This is an exceptional idea of incorporating ICT into student learning as well as provide student parents and families an artefact in which they can see exactly their students learning and development.

    Kathy Cassidy is a teacher in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. She is a first grade teacher who uses her blog to share the learning of her students with the world. Within her blog each child has a separate blog where they share heir activities and learning with videos pictures and posts. I have found this excellent as it allows the children to develop ICT skills early in their education and gives the parents and insight of why it is a great way to learn and allows them to see how there children are learning. her blog is always updated with will be great to follow for the rest of the semester and future. i was drawn to Kathy's blog as she teaches in the same context I do and reading her blog I felt like I knew her children and discovered more ideas to incorporate ICT'S into my pedagogy.

    This is a teacher's blog with examples of activities used in the classroom. It includes examples of how ICTs can be incorporated.

    It's fun to make the Playdoh balls, but even more fun to smash them with your fist! After working so diligently to help Emmy Barr with her business, the students wondered what she had won in the contest.

    Thank you for the link to this blog
  •  
    A wonderful blog celebrating the the learning of a grade 1 class. Learning Activity Ideas that incorporate ICT.
  •  
    This blog site is up to date and relevant, providing an inside look at the class practice with current photos and videos.
  •  
    I found this blog really interesting as it shows the children are engaged in using ICT in the classroom with their own blogs and videos of their work. It also shows the use of not using ICT with lots of hands on experiences. I think it shows the importance of using both in the classroom depending on what your learning. I will definitely keep a close eye on this blog.

Data-Driven Improvement and Accountability | National Education Policy Center - 1 views

  • This brief examines policies and practices concerning the use of data to inform school improvement strategies and to provide information for accountability. This twin-pronged movement, termed Data-Driven Improvement and Accountability (DDIA), can lead either to greater quality, equity and integrity, or to deterioration of services and distraction from core purposes. The question addressed by this brief is what factors and forces can lead DDIA to generate more positive and fewer negative outcomes in relation to both improvement and accountability. The policy brief concludes with 12 recommendations for establishing more effective and productive systems and processes, derived from its analysis of the relevant research. A report containing model legislation follows, detailing a legal structure that would use data effectively to create a multi-level system of accountability designed for school improvement.

Those Who Can, Teach - 4 views

    A blog worth following. Very inspirational and great writing.
  •  
    I would have to say my 'writing roots' didn't really get started until college. I got the writing bug in college, alongside some inspiring teachers-turned-professors who were passionate about helping their students inspire their students. In that environment, writing was democratic-anyone could do it, anyone could teach it, and everyone is a writer.

    I really enjoy following teachers on Instagram and I look at Instagram as micro blogging, a quick snap shot of their classrooms which can give some great ideas. I Teach Prep is one of my favorite Instagram pages and this teacher usually updates daily. Instagram is another digital tool to enhance or learning and communication with other teachers.

    Questions should ignite learning. Curious kids never get bored. But why do young kids ask more than 100 questions a day and by middle school, they've stopped asking?
  •  
    This teacher is preaching the "Teaching Gospel for Today"! Asking questions and promoting problem-based learning to students is how to teach students today. Thank-you for sharing this bernielou!

Individual learning journeys - 3 views

    Here is a link that is used extensively at my daughter's school with great success. You can set up a personalised learning journey in many different curriculum strands that the student can follow both in class and at home. It can be enough to last the week for homework, the term or even the whole year. There is a built in reward system too.

      Feedback from at least one student suggests that this quiz is very repetitive (confirming my original opinion). In that case, feel free not to do this quiz...just look at the reading that follows
  • It's a fairly repetitive quiz but based on good science.

Why public primary schools need specialist PE Teachers - 2 views

Most would agree that PE is crucial to have in all KLAs of our curriculum. I think we should make PE a priority in our primary school education and that would involve having specialist PE teachers....

Application of the SAMR model | isupport - 4 views

  • These processes are ingrained and simple. The devices we use are all around us, they are ubiquitous and the outcomes obtainable.

      In other words, the technology has become mythic (in the sense suggested by Postman's 5 things to know about technological change)
    • Leigh Campbell
       
      Does this imply that there will be a time where the subject ICT and pedagogy won't be necessary?
    • djplaner
       
      That Leigh, is a very good question. One we'll pick up on in coming weeks (if not before)
    • Teagan Childs
       
      Very good question Leigh!
    • djplaner
       
      In short, I think there will be a time when a course like ICT and Pedagogy won't be needed.

  • Technology is used a lot but only in low level uses (ie Facebook, and Google search). If asked to perform a “complex” task such as creating a presentation or editing a photograph most teachers would come unstuck.
    • djplaner
       
      Does this apply to you? Has your studies given you an opportunity to move beyond?
    • Nicole Hunter
       
      I have used new software and packages during my uni course that I wouldn't have otherwise experienced. It is great to be pushed into that uncomfortable stage while learning a new program but the achievement feeling when you have worked it out is great and very rewarding. There is so much out there that could be used in the classroom but you need to seek it out!
    • Ali Meadows
       
      Until I started EDC3100 I wouldn't have considered myself a 'low level user'. I am however making progress. It is challenging at times since there are so many resources that can be applied. Without this course I would have been in the dark about the possibilities.
  • We know when we have achieved successful technology integration: it is when we use technology without even thinking about it.
    • Kate Dugdale
       
      I love this.  Successful technology integration is when it is just part of what we do.  Like postman's ecological thinking.
