    Great resource for Foundation/Year one to help consolidate number recognition.  It enables students to match objects with words and numbers.  This is a great visual tool for those visual learners within the class.  Each student has a turn at matching the number of children with the number on the bus and further along in the  lesson, the pictures change to trees and apples.  Very engaging for students.

    "Type Description Descriptive writing Not reflective. Description of events that occurred/report of literature. No attempt to provide reasons/justification for events. Descriptive reflection Reflective, not only a description of events but some attempt to provide reason/justification for events or actions but in a reportive or descriptive way. For example, "I chose this problem-solving activity because I believe that students should be active rather than passive learners". Recognition of alternate viewpoints in the research and literature which are reported. For example, Tyler (1949), because of the assumptions on which his approach rest suggests that the curriculum process should begin with objectives. Yinger (1979), on the other hand argues that the "task" is the starting point. Two forms: Reflection based generally on one perspective/factor as rationale. Reflection is based on the recognition of multiple factors and perspectives Dialogic reflection Demonstrates a "stepping back" from the events/actions leading to a different level of mulling about, discourse with self and exploring the experience, events, and actions using qualities of judgements and possible alternatives for explaining and hypothesising. Such reflection is analytics or/and integrative of factors and perspectives and may recognise inconsistencies in attempting to provide rationales and critique, for example. While I planned to use mainly written text materials I became aware very quickly that a number of students did not respond to these. Thinking about this now there may have been several reasons for this. A number of students, while reasonably proficient in English, even though they had been NESB learners, may still have lacked some confidence in handling the level of language in the text. Alternatively, a number of students may have been visual and tactile learners. In any case I found that I had to employ more concrete activities in my teaching. Critical reflection Demonstrates an aware

  • 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)

  • 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

      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."

  • What is more, his videos reveal an ignorance of how we know students learn mathematics.
  • Many mathematics educators stress another kind of knowledge necessary to design and deliver quality instruction: pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). PCK refers to knowledge of content as it relates to teaching.
  • This difficulty is due at least in part to the fact that many rules that apply to whole numbers do not apply to decimals. Perhaps the most famous of these involves comparing numbers. When two whole numbers have different numbers of digits (e.g., 435 and 76), the one with more digits is greater (and usually by a lot!) This is not true of decimals: 0.435 is less than 0.76, despite having more digits.

  • 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 &amp; Blum, 2010; Marks, 2007; Siraj-Blatchford &amp; Siraj-Blatchford, 2003).

      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 &amp; 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.

  • Those studies about the wonders of handwriting all suffer from the same set of flaws, namely, a) that they don’t actually work with students who have been taught to use their laptops or devices for taking notes. That is, they all hand students devices and tell them to take notes in the same way they would in written form. In some cases those devices don’t have keyboards; in some cases they don’t provide software tools to use (there are some great ones, but doing it in say, Word, isn’t going to maximize the options digital spaces allow), in some cases the devices are not ones the students use themselves and with which they are comfortable. And b) the studies are almost always focused on learning in large lecture classes or classes in which the assessment of success&nbsp;is performance on a standardized (typically multiple-choice) test, not in the ways that many, many&nbsp;classes operate, and not a measure that many of us use in our own classes. And c) they don’t actually attempt to integrate the devices into the classes in question,
  • I have plenty of conversations with students about how to take notes already. Most of the time their problem isn’t which device (pencil, laptop, phone, quill) they use to take those notes, but how to take them and how to use them to learn based on their own experiences, learning styles, and discipline
  • djplaner on 06 Aug 16
     
    While the post is focused on Universities, there are a number of interesting points. Perhaps of most interest is the explanation why much of the research claiming that taking notes by hand writing is better than using a laptop/table.
