    the site automates the study of word lists for spelling and vocabulary. You can enter any list and VocabSpellingCity.com provides the sentences and definitions for the 20 different learning activities, including a WordSeach, HangMouse (think hangman), WordUnScramble, SpellingTest, VocabularyTest, WhichWord, MatchIt, Alphabetize, SpeedySpeller, Word-O-Rama, digital and printable flashcards, and more. Many teachers also use the site as a way to generate printables, since all of the games can also be delivered as printable worksheets

    This site is really handy for help with children's spelling homework. Each week when my children get different spelling words I simply type in each word to create a list and the kids can choose from a number of different games to help them learn their words. Phiona

    This site was used during my last practical experience. The teacher would create the different spelling lists and during spelling groups the students would have a chance to work on there lists at different days of the week. A very handy resources.

    Ms Cassidy's blog documents the interesting and valuable learning achievements of her students. Her blog offers a great variety of lesson ideas, including those which involve ICTs such as twitter to communicate with other learners from around the world and enhance the learning experience of all.

    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.

    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.

  • This “curse of knowledge” highlights a problem for all educators: once you know something, it is difficult to imagine not knowing it.
  • Once you know something, it’s hard to imagine not knowing it. And that, in turn, makes it harder for you to communicate to a novice.”
  • those who know something deeply (like the expert chess players) think differently about the content than do amateurs

    I love the second quote! I find my head hurts if I try too hard to imagine not knowing something. I find as a teacher it really interesting seeing students going from 'I don't understand this' to 'How did I not see this before?'. I love seeing the flash of understanding so I really love that quote!

The Overselling of Ed Tech - Alfie Kohn - 2 views

  • y, my response to ed tech is “It depends.” And one key consideration on which it depends is the reason given for supporting it
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      'd sugest that "it depends" includes consideration of the "somewhere" in which it is being used. The class, the learners, the teacher(s), what is being learned..
  • But the rationale that I find most disturbing — despite, or perhaps because of, the fact that it’s rarely made explicit — is the idea that technology will increase our efficiency
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      And here's #2 of the "big three".
  • Other people, particularly politicians, defend technology on the grounds that it will keep our students “competitive in the global economy.”
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      The first of the "big three reason". As here, there are arguments aginst this particular reason, or at least for not having it drive the why (not) question
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • We can’t answer the question “Is tech useful in schools?” until we’ve grappled with a deeper question: “What kinds of learning should be taking place in those schools?”
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      The "theory" method from the Why (not) framework can help inform this, but you do need to question your deeper assumptions about this question. Of course, the problem you face is that the "way things are done" impacts this greatly and can limit what you can question
  • Despite corporate-style declarations about the benefits of “innovation” and “disruption,” new forms of technology in the classroom mesh quite comfortably with an old-school model that consists of pouring a bunch o’ facts into empty receptacles

  • Some people seem to be drawn to technology for its own sake — because it’s cool
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      Why "goodish practice" can be a problem. Often it's what is "cool" that attracts attention.
  • Far more common, in any case, are examples of technology that take for granted, and ultimately help to perpetuate, traditional teacher-centered instruction that consists mostly of memorizing facts and practicing skills
    • djplaner
      djplaner on 16 Mar 16
       
      This is where we can have some argument. There is some value in doing this type of stuff as long as there is amplification going on AND it's part of a broader move from traditional forms of learning to different types of learning. I'm also troubled by the "one size fits all" approach to this. "Nothing works everywhere".
  • According to an article in Education Week, “a host of national and regional surveys suggest that teachers are far more likely to use tech to make their own jobs easier and to supplement traditional instructional strategies than to put students in control of their own learning.

    Advantages There is a reason that many people are attracted to wikis for learning. Wikis can be private or public. You can get wiki software at no cost or at a very low cost. They only require basic programming skills for installation, setup and maintenance. Contributors create content independently of each other, so that multiple people can be working on the site at the same time. Wikis can be applied to just about any content area. Users find them easy to search and navigate.

    I'm planning on integrating the use of a wiki into my unit plan for assignment 2. I remember teaching myself and creating one a few years back and loved it! I think it's a great tool.

    Technology is inseparable with education including early childhood education. With the use of technology such as laptops, pre-literacy and pre-numeracy lessons are more fun, active, and engaging for the children as it creates different ambience and promotes active learning in the classroom as well as home setting.

    I read this article today and it made me think about the 'older' generations and how they cope with the new technology. It isn't going to be long and we'll become the 'older' generation. How long until we are overwhelmed with a variety of 'new' technologies we can't cope and just go back to our 'old' ways, in this case sending a letter. I'm sure some children have never sent a letter through the post office!! I also love the offer of the CEO to help teach the gentleman how to use online shopping!!
  • David de Kroon on 12 Mar 14
     
    Fair comment about the letter at the post office, but according to my own kids "the post office is where you pick up stuff from ebay" so I guess the concept is still there just the context has changed.
  • Ann Bond on 13 Mar 14
     
    Unfortunately are lot of teachers are "the older generation" as far as classroom practices are concerned. Often using technology means booking a computer labs to allow students to type their assignments (so they can read their hand writing); allowing students to email completed work instead of handing in paper copies or using a data projector to show the class a power point presentation.

Why public primary schools need specialist PE Teachers - 2 views
