    The Week 2 activity in asked What's your pedagogy? got me thinking, I decided that building relationships with my students was extremely important to me. I agree with this article and Elena Aguilar shares a very similar pedagogy, her classroom is not just individual students, it's a community in which everyone belong

    Awesome question! I have a number of motto's but I think one stands tall amongst them all. We are all equal and put downs of course are not to be tolerated but I believe more focus on student fear of failure resulting in a lack of effort to succeed. There will be times in our career where we will witness students losing motivation due to ridicule from peers or even self-ridicule. More than once I have heard in a maths classroom a student admitting, "Oh I'm not good at maths", even when I can see that they are quite capable. Effectively the student is giving themself permission to fail. My moto is "THANKS FOR CORRECTING ME!" Too often students fear answering a questions in case they get it wrong, and some students will abuse others for their mistakes. It is a cultural attitude that is in the workplace as well as the classroom. If someone voices that they have discovered a mistake you have made, then that gives you the opportunity to correct yourself. If you cannot see the error, then it is an opportunity for them to teach you something new. It doesn't matter which way you look at it, mistakes should be celebrated as a collaborative learning opportunity, and as teachers we should encourage this.

  • Engagement:

      An obvious candidate for one of the reasons for using ICT.
  • The website Quia contains games that mimic popular games such as Battleship and Jeopardy. The teacher can type the worksheet questions into templates to quickly and easily create games for students to play during class or for homework. I personally would create these playsheets in the five-minute passing period before my students came into class. They would eagerly ask me to make playsheets.

    Good article outlining how technology may be used to increase engagement. While turning worksheets into games may not be as ambitious as I would like this could be a good starting point.

    Children can create their own customised Avatar - simple activity with loads of potential.
  • Kylie Johnson on 10 Aug 14
     
    I think that this is a great idea for children and teenagers. By allowing students to create an Avatar, it gives them the opportunity to create an image that represents them or they can go completely crazy and create something far from the truth. Giving them an avatar in an educational environment then makes the learning fun and enjoyable as they feel they are playing just one big game. I have used this concept in a Contact Centre with Adults and have had success with it, purely for the reason it allows creativity and staff did not need to leave their desks to go to training.

Multiliterate Star Warians: The force of popular culture and ICT in early l...: EBSCOhost - 3 views

    The abstract for this sounds interesting Can popular culture and information communication technologies (ICT) broaden early years' multiliteracies experiences? This paper presents a case study that begins with boys role-playing Star Wars action scenes at the commencement of the school year, and concludes with an end-of-year school community celebration of a new DVD Star Wars movie sequel, designed and performed by the boys. The Children's Star Wars Project was developed in a small Western Australian independent community school committed to the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. The case study provides an exemplar of the integral relationship between early childhood pedagogy, multiliteracies metalanguage, and multimodal designs of meaning. Implications for educational research are that popular culture and ICT can be readily integrated with early childhood education (ECE) to broaden multiliteracies experiences. As shown in this case study, these experiences facilitate the achievement of The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia outcomes.

  • In no education system around the world where I have worked has the introduction of new technologies made teachers less vital or central to the teaching and learning process. On the contrary: As dust settles after new equipment arrives in schools (and eventually begins to work, more or less), and the initial hype around the potential for quick 'transformational change' subsides, the role of the teacher is almost always more central, indeed fundamental, than it was before the introduction of technology.
  • New technologies can, and no doubt eventually will, replace many of the routine administrative tasks typically handled by teachers, like taking attendance, entering marks into a grading book, etc
  • Machines (perhaps even "teaching machines") may also handle some of the routine, low-end cognitive tasks (e.g. posing multiple-choice questions and grading tests) that teachers currently perform

    This is a primary school teacher whom i know personally. She began her career as a teacher soon after graduating high school - a dream job for her. Years later in her life she took a break from the classroom to run a family business. She has now done a complete 360 and has put her teaching hat back on once again. She quotes: "Well after having my first day back in the classroom I am SO HAPPY because I know I am doing the right thing for me. I had a wonderful day and I now know how much I actually missed being a teacher. Today was a big step in a new chapter that involves lots of learning for me but I am doing that through fresh and keen eyes and I am very excited!!" This woman is very inspiring and easily someone you can lean on for support. An asset to any classroom or workplace!

  • Sometimes I wish technology was more integrated with learning at my school, but then I realize why it’s deliberately separated. There’s something great about getting a new book, cracking the spine, and flipping through the pages. With technology, everything is fleeting. You can read a book on your iPad while listening to Spotify, making a call, and checking Twitter. There’s a value in slowing down and being with the material you’re reading, free from the distractions of the outside world

  • It turns out that for most major scientific concepts, kids come into the classroom — even in middle school — with a whole set of beliefs that are commonly at odds with what scientists, and their science teachers, know to be true
  • you had to explain what causes the change in seasons, could you? Surprisingly, studies have shown that as many as 95 percent of people — including most college graduates — hold the incorrect belief
  • If teachers are to help students change their incorrect beliefs, they first need to know what those are

  • Ultimately, Sadler said, he hopes teachers will be able to use the tests to help design lessons that change students’ incorrect ideas and help them learn science more quickly and easily.
  • One of the reasons for this is that teachers can be unaware of what is going on in their students’ heads, even though they may have had exactly the same ideas when they were students themselves. Knowledge of student misconceptions is a critical tool for science teachers
  • It ain’t what they don’t know that gives them trouble, it’s what they know that ain’t so

  • Whether it is solving a differential equation on the motion of charged particles or keeping track of a nuts-and-bolts inventory, the digital computer functions fundamentally as a numerical transformer of coded information. It takes sets of numbers, processes them as directed and provides another number or set of numbers as a result
  • Among the characteristics that make it different are the flexibility with which it can be adapted generally to logical operations, the blinding speed with which it can execute instructions that are stored within its memory, and its built-in capacity to carry out these instructions in sequence automatically and to alter them according to a prescribed plan.
  • Despite its size and complexity, a computer achieves its results by doing a relatively few basic things. It can add two numbers, multiply them, subtract one from the other or divide one by the other. It also can move or rearrange numbers and, among other things, compare two values and then take some pre-determined action in accordance with what it finds.

      Increasingly there are algorithms that mean that the computer doesn't need to be told what to do. It is capable of learning. For example, in the past computers couldn't drive cars on the road. To do this the computer would have to be told how to do everything - accelerate, turn, how far to turn etc. The new algorithms are such that a computer (actually probably many computers) can drive a car without being told what to do (not a perfect analogy, but hopefully useful)
  • If the data put into the machine are wrong, the machine will give the wrong answer
  • Developing the software is a very expensive enterprise and frequently more troublesome than designing the actual "hardware

      Facebook reportedly has at least 62 million lines of code (instructions) to make all of its features work.
  • This requires an input facility that converts any symbols used outside the machine (numerical, alphabetical or otherwise) into the proper internal code used by the machine to represent those symbols. Generally, the internal machine code is based on the two numerical elements 0 and 1
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 27 Feb 16
       
      This applies to any data that an ICT uses - pictures, sound etc. It has to be converted into 0s and 1s (binary digits) that software can then manipulate
  • The 0's and 1's of binary notation represent the information processed by the computer, but they do not appear to the machine in that form. They are embodied in the ups and downs of electrical pulses and the settings of electronic switches inside the machine
  • The computational requirements are handled by the computer’s arithmetic-logic unit. Its physical parts include various registers, comparators, adders, and other "logic circuits."

      This is the bit of the ICT that does the manipulation. Everything you do to manipulate data (e.g. apply Instagram filters) is reduced down to operations that an arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) - or similar - can perform

    Kathy Cassidy writes and shares a video about what risks are acceptable to take when teaching children new tasks such as reading and writing. The idea that risk taking is apart of teaching is hard not to agree with. All students are individual and have a different way of learning, so approaching activities with different mindsets can be quite daunting. As teachers, she writes that we need to grasp the idea of the work risk-taking.
