    My (prep/1) mentor has told me I will be teaching persuasive texts. This was actually the only flipchart that came up in a search but I think with some scaffolding would be suitable for the age range.

    Having a group of Year 10 Maths A students say this about a class would have to be the ultimate achievement. Done correctly, I think Meyer's approach combined with other techniques could achieve this.

    I think this resource would be valuable for any grade between 1-4, learning place values. I like that it isn't overly complicated, and it is simplified enough for students to be able to work it themselves. There may be some issues with some of the students remembering the place values when the different columns are not marked properly.

Analogue or Digital?

  • Now pretty much everything seems to be digital, from television and radio to music players, cameras, cellphones, and even books
  • we first convert the information into numbers (digits)

      It is during this conversion process that information can be lost. Depending on the process digital doesn't always capture all the gradations in analog data. Think of the difference between an analog clock (with an hour hand and a minute hand) and a digital clock (showing just hours and minutes). WIth a digital clock you can only ever see the exact minute 12:01am or 12:02am. The digital information doesn't show you the time between 1 minute past and 2 minutes past. But with an analog clock the minute hand is always moving. At halfway between 12:01 and 12:02 the minute hand will be halfway between the 1 and the 2 minute mark. If you look closely you will be able to see that it's halfway between.

    To me analogue means the old and digital means modern, and i am kicking myself because I knew on the quiz that the TV was not digital but because I thought of it as a way to communicate I ticked true. I have a digital watch (fitbit) and I wear my analogue one as it does not go flat on me, the joys of digital technology.
  • chloe260 on 13 Jul 16
     
    I actually thought similar to Susan, hence why I also chose true for the television question. I assumed ICT was any means of relaying information or delivery information, other than books or paper articles. Definitely a lot to learn regarding ICT

    What being digital means Being digital means more and more ICT devices are far more instant. They need to be mastered because this is the world we live in now even though there is still room for analog technology. ICT devices are all digital and is widely used in school and society itself.

    The teachers using effective pedagogy to help students in mastering ICT devices needs to be put into consideration in our local schools and community. The more ICT devices are explicitly taught, the more school community and activities around ICT become accessible in our classroom.

    ACARA's implementation of the Australian Curriculum will enable students an equal and enriching education throughout the nation. As a future educator and studying for the past 4 years education, it is enlightening to know that in the near future, Australia as a nation will have one type of education for all states. The Australian Curriculum will enable teachers to travel throughout Australia, be able to provide students with a consistent learning experience, and will endeavor to advance and push students in a positive direction. I am all for the Australian Curriculum and am excited to know that this is the way that education is heading. The equality of the Australian Curriculum not only for educators as well as students, but for parents, knowing that their children will benefit from equal learning opportunities. The Learning Areas for the Australian Curriculum currently include: English, Mathematics, Science and History. General capabilities, a key dimension of the Australian Curriculum, are addressed explicitly in the content of the learning areas. They play a significant role in realising the goals set out in the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (MCEETYA 2008) - that all young people in Australia should be supported to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens. The Australian Curriculum includes seven general capabilities: Literacy Numeracy Information and communication technology (ICT) capability Critical and creative thinking Personal and social capability Ethical understanding Intercultural understanding. http://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/File/C26D8605-FAA2-4B40-BE10-A15500EE1EB6.

  • By helping children self-author and produce e-books, early childhood professionals can make the use of computers more interactive and personal.
  • PowerPoint is ideal for helping young children to make basic self-authored e-books.
  • 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 & Blum, 2010; Marks, 2007; Siraj-Blatchford & 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 & Kress, 2003). Increasingly, young children are exposed to communication tools and circumstances that are multimodal instead of solely linguistic (Hill, 2007
  • 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).
  • 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).
  • ICT as a tool for enriching the teaching and learning environment for young children.
  • 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.
