The findings of this trial were that the iPad was an effective and engaging learning tool, especially in primary and special settings schools; that quality teaching was the factor that enabled the iPad to be used effectively to improve student motivation, engagement and learning outcomes; and that teaching and learning success with iPads is more likely when they are used in a supportive school and home environment.

The first week at uni we started to use a program called Scratch. This program can be used for teachers and students at any level. It is also has free membership. The first activity that we were required to do was to use the motion button to create simple commands to move the script (the cat). The next part of the activity was to make a sequence of commands. This included the moving the script 10 step and then having the script turn around in a clockwise direction at 15 degrees. The number of steps and the degrees can be changed to suit the way you want the script to move. The next activity was to use the simple commands and have them repeat the commands over and over until you stop the command. We also learnt how to have the script change colour while the command sequence was going. The next activity was to draw regular polygons. The first polygon that was drawn was a square. The next challenge was to create other polygons. This program is great to work with. I had some time just to play, adding backgrounds, pictures and sounds. The goal for using this scratch program at uni is to explore options for introducing digital technologies and related concepts in the primary school classroom, as the Technology curriculum is being introduced sometime this year (2013). This program would fall under the Digital Technologies strand in the Australian curriculum: Technologies. This is where students will engage in the components of digital systems: software, hardware and networks.

The intention of the human author is important in determining the nature of the truth revealed in the text (e.g. historical truth, factual truth, religious truth).

Enjoyed the video showing how technology can teach children in a fun and engaging way to learn but also requiring them to engage in real life problem solving, writing and reflection. Interesting how they chose to access the program from home too. That says a lot. I thought that this would be more middle years teaching. Do you think this could be used in Primary?

I like the way she describes her job- loves the kids but struggles with the job. This is interesting to me because I feel the same (don't know if it I for the same reasons) because I whole- heartedly believe in diversity and the individual child BUT I also know/ have seen how strict and institutionalised schools remain to be and this often gets in the way of the kind of teacher I thought I could be. It is interesting and worth thinking about though because I am sure we all want to help each child as much as we can but lack of time, resources and 'the halo effect' will get in the way at some point.
The 360 Teacher - 2 views

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!
