Digital cameras in early childhood settings : Children's Services - 6 views

  •  
    This Blog is about the use of digital cameras in early childhood settings.  It was a part of Week 2's work but I wanted to book mark it here because I thought it might be useful for assignment part 1.
  •  
    Hi Kate I also found this site very informative and used this in my blog. I love photos and I strongly believe that digital cameras play an important role in early childhood settings and advocate the importantance of allowing children to explore their world through using digital camera. Working in 3-5 room I have seen many positive expereinces, including behaviour management, as children use digital camera. Sadly the new qualified teacher the centre has employed views camera for "teachers' only (not even assistants can use them) and only one photo per month per child and no viewing them on the television.

    An example of a different approach for the assignment 1 artefact that came through my feeds today.  It's a Wordpress blog that has been used to create a "presentation through hypertext of an alternative vision for a school". Not only is this a good example of trying something different in a webs ite.  It is about re-thinking education influenced, in part, by some of the factors we're talking about in this course. FYI, the clickable image on the front page is implemented using what is called an "imagemap".  Google that term and you'll find some resources/tools that can help

13 reasons to use educational technology in lessons - ICT and Computing in Education - - 7 views

  • ICT can provide both the resources and the pedagogical framework for enabling pupils to become effective independent learners. For example, computer programs are available that adjust themselves to the pupils’ level and then set appropriate tasks and give feedback on performance. Used wisely, these can help pupils to move on.
  • Where information and communications technology (ICT) is taught well, it has been shown to enhance pupils’ levels of understanding and attainment in other subjects. That’s because “real” ICT is more about thinking skills than about mastering particular software applications.
  • Pupils usually enjoy using computers and other types of technology, so lessons which make use of it start off with an advantage (which is all too often squandered).
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Just about every aspect of modern life involves educational technology; therefore, to not make use of it in the curriculum is anachronistic.
  • ICT places all learners on an equal footing

      an interesting article to read. 13 reasons to use educational technology in lessons.
  • implement personalised learning.
    • katrina carpenter
       
      this is an important area. Used correctly ICT can support students that require greater levels of scaffolding and do so in a way that allows the student to maintain control of their own learning path.
  • Educational technology puts the pupil in control (if it is well-designed), enabling her to personalise the interface, select and create resources, and even choose what to learn
    • katrina carpenter
       
      This needs to be managed well as few students have the skills to fully manage what they are learning. Perhaps they do however the constraints of the curriculum require they cover set criteria. Choices are available but these still need to be guided and negotiated with the teacher
  • motivating pupils
    • katrina carpenter
       
      motivation also extends to reduced behaviour issues in a class where students are engaged in their learning

    This is from a modern theorist referenced in the Australian Curriculum. I have not finished the article yet but sharing as it has some great information for assignment 1
  •  
    Thanks for sharing the resource. It clarifies key stakeholders' perspectives regarding ICT skills and the (in-)assessability of such through current testing options. Although Dede expresses cautious cynicism over the self serving nature behind each stakeholder contribution, it does indicate shared emphasis upon the importance of ICTs for the development of transferrable life skills which are reflected in the Australian Curriculum's General Capabilities. As with anything in the curriculum, interpretation of how these capabilities should be taught and assessed is subjective. Be it an impossible task or not, the key edict seems to be that educators are to provide integrated ICT/core content learning episodes that allow learners to develop universally current skills in personally authentic contexts but to also alert the learner to the transferable use of such skills for a global context.

Building Parent-Teacher Relationships | Reading Rockets - 24 views

  •  
    Page from the American Federation of Teachers describing the benefits and some approaches to building parent-teacher relationships. The artefact for assignment 1 is intended to be something that helps build a parent-teacher relationship.
  •  
    Parent Benefits Positive parent-school communications benefit parents. The manner in which schools communicate and interact with parents affects the extent and quality of parents' home involvement with their children's learning. For example, schools that communicate bad news about student performance more often than recognizing students' excellence will discourage parent involvement by making parents feel they cannot effectively help their children.
  •  
    Reading Rockets is a great resource, I remember using this for an assignment quite some time ago. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention.

Assessment: Assignment 1 - 29 views

  • Average length of blog posts at least 100 words.
    • djplaner
       
      Average length = total length of all your blog posts for the 3 weeks / by the number of blog posts e.g. if you made 9 blog posts with a total word length of 1800 words. Then your average word length is     Avge = 1800 / 9     Avge = 200 200 is greater than 100, so this criteria is met.
    • djplaner
       
      There is no maximum word limit for your posts.  The length stated here is the minimum expected. Feel free to reflect and share as much as you like via your blog.
  • 60% or more of the blog posts contain links to online resources
    • djplaner
       
      If you've made 12 posts for weeks 1, 2 and 3.  Then 60% of 12 is            12 * .6 = 7.2 This means at least 7 of the 12 posts you made would be expected to include links to online resources. NOTE: we'll always round down (i.e. if 60% == 7.2, we'll round that down to 7, not up to 8 posts)
  • More than two posts contain links to posts from other EDC3100 students.
    • djplaner
       
      Let's assume you've posted 10 posts for weeks 1, 2 and 3. At least 2 of those posts should contain a link to a post of another EDC3100 student blog. The assumption is that you will also use that link as a basis for commenting on the other student's ideas.
    • Nicole Hargreaves
       
      So I did post on my blog last week and linked to some resources but didn't link to any other students. That is fine as long as I make it up in week 2 and 3, right?
    • djplaner
       
      Yes.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Spelling, grammar and vocabulary of a satisfactory standard with few errors.
    • djplaner
       
      If your artefact doesn't use any text, then spelling probably won't be an issue. But the pronunciation, grammar etc may be.
  • he artefact is either too large or too small.
    • djplaner
       
      Maximum size is defined above. The minimum might be as short as 2 minutes, but you still have to provide sufficient information to meet the requirements of the Argument criterion below.
  • All resources appropriately attributed.
    • djplaner
       
      If you are using someone else's videos, audio etc. you must make sure that you are legally allowed to use the resource and you must attribute it appropriately.
  • All three components are present and effectively integrated and aligned
    • djplaner
       
      Your artefact should include - context, reasons and examples (see above for more detail) - there is no constraint on structure or location, but these should be readily recognisable.
  • There is significant misalignment between the three components.
    • djplaner
       
      e.g. your teaching context is a Year 1 class, but an example you use is from Year 5.
  • The reasons are supported through effective use of models, theories and literature (both academic and professional).
    • djplaner
       
      Professional literature includes the Australian Curriculum (and similar). You can draw on any literature that is relevant.
  • Examples of ICT integration are used to illustrate the reasons, but with some limitations
    • djplaner
       
      e.g. the example only illustrates one aspect of a reason, or it isn't entirely clear what support the example provides for the reason.
  • 30-60% of the blog posts contain links to online resources.
    • djplaner
       
      The links also have to be within the blog posts and not in your blog roll. The automated system only sees your blog posts, not your blog roll. As a rule of them, the reader of your post has to be able to access/use the resource from your post. i.e. a reference isn't enough.  It has to be a link that they can click on. The standard expectation is that the content of your blog post will contain links to other resources. This following blog post  http://davidtjones.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/how-are-they-going/
  • Exceptional standard
    • djplaner
       
      An exceptional artefact will be an online resource that has been implemented without any errors, makes effective - even innovative - use of the online environment to capture the attention of the viewer/reader and show them a logically structured, well supported and illustrated set of reasons for using ICTs in **your** teaching. Emphasis on **your** teaching, not mine, not some textbooks, but yours.
  • At least 2 blog posts each week.
    • djplaner
       
      If you got off to a slow start (i.e. didn't post much to your blog in week 1 of semester), don't worry.  As long as you start posting regularly by the end of week 2 (or so) and reach an appropriate total (e.g. 3 weeks by 3 posts = 9 posts). Then you will get the appropriate mark. As semester progresses, however, there will be an expectation that posts will come more regularly. Also, if you write 9 posts 5 minutes before the end of week 3, some questions may be asked.
  • Use contextually appropriate example(s) to illustrate those reasons.
    • djplaner
       
      This thread on the discussion forum provides some more explanation of where/how you might find examples of ICT use that are linked to your context.
    • djplaner
       
      You should not be creating these examples. The examples should be existing examples you have found during this course or in previous courses. The examples should be as close to the context you are talking about and they should illustrate how the reasons you've provided can be fulfilled.
  • Clearly describe your teaching context.
    • djplaner
       
      If you don't know what your context is going to be. Make it up. Try to make it as realistic as possible, as close as possible to your likely Professional Experience placement for this course as possible. You may want to use a prior Professional Experience context, that's fine.
    • Holly Hawkings
       
      Hi, I was just wondering where we find this or when it will become available? Thanks, Holly 
  •  
    Thnaks for clarifying David. Is it expected that we end up with some comments on our own blogs? I have posted the link to my blog in the forum but havent had any comments yet :(
