1.5.2 The Millennium Development Goals | ICT Regulation Toolkit - 2 views

  • In the past, there were too many examples of the ICT arriving first, with the tail wagging the dog or a solution looking for a problem.
    • anonymous
       
      Impact outside of the education sector is interesting to consider
  •  
    A potential example page we might point you to briefly in coming weeks. Making a point about the technology tail wagging the dog.

The Tail Wagging the Dog - Again! | Where 2 Now? - 6 views

  • Once this program has been implemented, how do we measure our success?
    • djplaner
       
      How will you measure the success of any attempt you make when integrating ICTs into your teaching?
    • Faeza ms
       
      Perhaps by reflecting on the way ICT has transformed the learning? In what ways has ICT integration improved the quality of the learning experience?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      Going on the last comment, I guess it goes back to 1 of the Postman's theory, about there being two sides to a story. For every advantage there is always a cost involved. How do you measure the success of ICT and what is the cost involved?
    • Brooke Clark
       
      I believe that you have succeeded in incorporating ICT's in your pedagogy when students are able to achieve outcomes that they may have otherwise struggled to achieve and when the ICT component adds to the learning experience rather than deducts from it.  When you make ICT the tool rather than the lesson.
    • Sue Day
       
      well stated! I agree on the importance of the ICTs being the tool!
  • Will any student learning objectives have even been considered? Eventually, maybe. But not until after the die has been cast, defining the hardware and software parameters that will make up “the solution”.
    • djplaner
       
      This is the "technology tail" wagging the "education dog".  Technology first, learning second.
    • Teresa Morgan
       
      I'm confused by this statement. Shouldn't learning come first and then technology to enhance the learning? I might just have to go back over and read this section again from week 3.
    • djplaner
       
      "Tail wagging the dog" is meant to indicate that it is the wrong way around. In theory education should come first.
  • One would expect that any educational organisation whose primary purpose is the delivery of education, would have learning outcomes at the heart of any planning process considering the distribution of such a large allocation of money.

  • Why can’t we build our school ICT infrastructure plans around the learning needs of students, and create a quality teaching environment and professional development program that supports these needs, rather than the other way around?
    • Matthew Clarke
       
      I'm a little confused? isn't this supposed to be what we are trying to do. If using the tool belt theory, aren't we meant to TEST, whether our ICT's are applicable and most appropriate?

    Another "EduDoggy" example. This time in the context of NSW schools and the Federal Government's recent "Digital Education Revolution".  This is only of interest to make the EduDoggy point and will be pointed to (maybe) during next week's content.

Australian Curriculum Resources | ictinearlyprimaryeducation - 1 views

  •  
    After blogging each week and linking resources, I wondered if their were any resources online especially created to assist teachers or preservice teachers based on the Australian curriculum. Amazingly, I googled 'Australian curriculum resources' and found this amazing website that includes books that are created for different subjects and based on the Australian curriculum.

    • djplaner
       
      The main reason for blogs in EDC3100 is to encourage reflection on what you learn during the course. But it is also hoped that it may become a part of your PLN and encourage you to continue the practice.

Unit plan ideas.... - 4 views

    It can be difficult to pin point the area of curriculum to write a unit plan on as there is so many choices and so much to choose from. Here are my initial thoughts on what to include and or base a 5 week unit plan around.

MAY INTERACTIVE FLIPCHART CALENDAR - TeachersPayTeachers.com - 6 views

  •  
    Interactive calendar for the Early Years students found in: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/May-Interactive-Flipchart-Calendar-222952 * What learning area/year level you think you might use this. This can be used in kindergarten and the first years of primary school. It promotes language development (learning the names and the written form of the days of the week) and number recognition. * What it is you like about the flipchart. It is interactive and allows the children to take over, giving them ownership of their own learning. * Any problems you think it might have. Prior to downloading this, it requires a relevant application to be installed.

A teacher mum keeping up with the times - 5 views

  • chool begins here in Victoria on Tuesday. It is the first time in ten years that I have not spent the summer busily preparing for the new school year. That has been a strange feeling.
  • My daughter, Novalie, is 5.5 months old and I am absolutely loving motherhood. While I won’t be in the classroom this year, apart from some possible replacement teaching, I’m thankful that there are still ways to keep up with education.
  • There was a time, not so long ago, when maternity leave would mean you’re out of the ‘education loop’. Now, with blogs, Twitter and other online resources, the education community is at your finger tips.

      Great use of ICT to keep her skills current and to meet current trends and changes.
  • recently wrote some tips for graduate teachers on the excellent ABC Splash site which may be of interest to educators beginning their careers next week. I enjoyed having the chance to reflect back on my own learning journey.

      This link could be useful to many of us in the near future.

    This is kathleen Morris and her blog page is about how to incorporate blogging into her grade 4 classroom. Even though Kathleen is on maternity leave I believe the information posted in 2013 is relevant to my assignment reasons. Another note Kathleen was a team teaching partner to Kelly Jordan who has launched her own blog this year.

    Although Kathleen is on maternity leave at the moment I found her blog posts both inspirational and incredibly helpful. She provides links to other helpful blogs as well as tips for new educators on how to stay connected. Kathleen is also a big advocator of integrating technology into our class rooms.
  •  
    This blog is by Kathleen Morris. She is a primary school teacher in Victoria. She has a wealth of knowledge on her blog and I have been reading a post about integrating blogging into the school classroom.
  •  
    Whilst a little outdated the information is relevant and has great ideas on how to integrate ICT into Literacy.
  •  
    For those who are interested in integrating blogging into the classroom and other technologies
  •  
    A teacher currently on maternity leave, using social media to keep up to date with the current education, teaching and learning trends. Dedicated teacher to be ensuring she doesn't lose skill or ability when it's time to return.
