Technology for positive: Using Technology to Differentiate Instruction - 1 views

  •  
    "One of the major benefits of using technology in the classroom is the ability to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of every student in every lesson. Just as every student grows and develops at different rates, they learn in different ways and at different speeds. Technology makes it possible to pace lessons appropriately for each student's learning level and can be used to promote learning in the multiple intelligences. Below you will find website suggestions that address the different learning styles in your classroom with the help of technology: Verbal-Linguistic These learners enjoy learning through speaking, writing, reading, and listening. In the classroom setting these students shine when given tasks such as taking notes, researching, listening, reading for information, and writing. Websites to encourage learning for Verbal-Linguistic students: 1. http://wordle.net Allow students to express themselves creatively with words 2. http://ed.voicethread.com Capture student voices with audio, text, pictures , and video 3. http://zoho.com- A free online word processor, and presentation tool 4. http://gcast.com- Students can podcast (voice recording) online. 5. http://kerpoof.com - Students can create stories or mini- movies 6. http://www2.shidonni.com- Students create animated stories 7. http://tickatok.com Students can create stories and turn them into a book 8. http://pbskids.org/wordworld A world where words come alive 9. http://readwritethink.org 52 interactive activities related to reading, writing, and speaking 10. http://speakaboos.com Students can read stories online, record their own story and play literacy games Logical-Mathematical These learners love numbers, reasoning, and problem solving. These students enjoy measuring, calculating, and organizing data. In the classroom students will shine when given tasks such as collecting data, conducting experiments, solving proble

Login required | ICT in Everyday Learning - 16 views

  •  
    Hello everyone, I just wanted to share with you this website called 'ICT in Everyday Learning: A Toolkit for Teachers'. This website draws on the 'TPACK' framework and provides information for teachers regarding ICT and pedagogy. The website makes explicit links between pedagogy, the Australian Curriculum, and the use of ICT to enhance pedagogy and facilitate student learning. In researching different ICTs to include in my table for Assessment Task 1, I found the 'Technology: Tools and Devices' section very useful! This section provides links to a range of ICTs across different learning areas. It was interesting to browse through these ICTs and examine which ones 'enhance' teaching and learning and which ones have the potential to 'transform' teaching and learning. I hope you find this website helpful!

    Reasons as to why I thought this was a good idea: - students and parents are involved - everyone in the class, all learning abilities, got involved - it gave writing a sense of purpose for the class - students could relate it to interests and real life concepts. - students took charge of what they are going to write
