    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.

Algorithmic skin: health-tracking technologies, personal analytics and the biopedagogies of digitized health and physical education - Sport, Education and Society - Volume 20, Issue 1 - 2 views

  •  
    Journal paper talking about "digitized health and physical education". "The emergence of digitized health and physical education, or 'eHPE', embeds software algorithms in the organization of health and physical education pedagogies. Particularly with the emergence of wearable and mobile activity trackers, biosensors and personal analytics apps, algorithmic processes have an increasingly powerful part to play in how people learn about their own bodies and health. This article specifically considers the ways in which algorithms are converging with eHPE through the emergence of new health-tracking and biophysical data technologies designed for use in educational settings. The first half of the article provides a conceptual account of how algorithms 'do things' in the social world, and considers how algorithms are interwoven with practices of health tracking. In the second half, three key issues are articulated for further exploration: (1) health tracking as a 'biopedagogy' of bodily optimization based on data-led and algorithmically mediated understandings of the body; (2) health tracking as a form of pleasurable self-surveillance utilizing data analytics technologies to predict future bodily probabilities and (3) the ways that health-tracking produces a body encased in an 'algorithmic skin', connected to a wider 'networked cognitive system'. These developments and issues suggest the need for greater attention to how algorithmic systems are embedded in emerging eHPE technologies and pedagogies."

    Its great to hear people say that we need to work together. I remember years ago a friend of mine (who was a Grade 6 teacher) told me of her frustration when she would encourage her students and they were alive with excitement to learn and explore and the work they handed in was exceptional from her point of view. However, six months into the next year she would be so disappointed because the grades of the Year 7 students would be declining and their attitude was one of apathy. What she wanted to do was to work with the Year 7 teacher so with a combined effort they could assist the students to continue their positive attitude throughout their time at upper primary school. The Year 7 teacher felt threatened and the sad cycle continued. When I read http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/blog-early-blog-often-the-secret-to-making-boys-write-properly-2211232.html as well as http://www.letthechildrenplay.net I was thrilled to hear what great progress is being made by teachers/schools when they collaborate. Thanks for the info.

PLN ideas - 2 views

  •  
    This is a website I came across on Terry Rees blog page http://terryrees.edublogs.org/ . She says one of the most important things for her is to develop a sustainable and quality Personal Learning Network (PLN) with other professionals with which she can share ideas, experiences, thoughts, and seek advice. If you are in need of resources and advice for starting a PLN this may help. Thanks Terry for putting me on to it. Hopefully others will find it useful too.

What is TPACK? | Teaching Teachers for the Future - 10 views

  • Expert teachers now are those who can bring together knowledge of subject matter, what is good for learning, and technology (ICT)
    • djplaner
       
      Perhaps the core of what this course is trying to achieve - develop and bring together knowledge of subject material, good learning and technology
    • Michelle Thompson
       
      I take it you mean the 'core of what this course is trying to achieve' :) and I agree.
    • anonymous
       
      We are lucky to be learning how to integrate technology into our pedagogy NOW. If I had done a teaching degree when I first left school I would probably be a very different teacher.
    • Kate Petty
       
      This statement links TPACK nicely for me.  
  • We have understood for a long time that expert teachers are those who can bring together their deep knowledge of subject matter with profound understanding of what is good for learning. The combination has been described as Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) and is more than the simple addition of two parts. The fusion is what enabled expert 20th century teachers to transform subject content and represent it in ways that made it accessible to individual learners in their specific contexts.
    • Michelle Thompson
       
      I love the first sentence. I would class an expert teacher as one who covers all PCK in a way that engages students' full attention.
    • Holly Hawkings
       
      I love this first sentence too, it is so meaningful and fully grasps the importance of being a great teacher versus an ok teacher. 
    • Faeza ms
       
      Agreed, in addition I find the last part of the paragraph insightful. The expert teacher transforms subject content and makes it accessible to individual learners. The idea that the teacher uses their content knowledge and their pedagogic knowledge to integrate technology in such a manner that it transforms content so as to meet individual needs. I find this conceptual picture of an expert teacher very inspirational.
    • Kate Petty
       
      Faeza, your comment about transforming content to meet individual needs struck a cord with me.  Thanks.

  • In each case, the expert teacher needs to make creative links between what is being learned (content), how it is taught (pedagogy), and the appropriate tools (technology).
    • Michelle Thompson
       
      Absolutely, this is the crux of what we should be doing as educators - not just trying to make it fun, but fulfil the curricula requirements in such a way that it is engaging and meets standards.
    • Holly Hawkings
       
      I also think that this underpins exactly what we need to do as teacher, to be able to create engaging and interactive lessons that not only meet the criteria of the curricular but are interesting and useful for the students using methods that excite and engage. 
    • Sue Day
       
      The last part of this statement,to me, means constructing knowledge by building on learning that has already taken place- using engaging and age appropriate tools.
    • Faeza ms
       
      I find the idea of finding an appropriate tool for the task to be crucial. An appropriate tool will engage and enhance the learning experience, an inappropriate tool could lead to negative experiences and negative attitudes towards technology.
    • Vicky Heng
       
      Yes, this is exactly what educators today need to do! However, I think it's going to be a challenging one. It needs experiences and effort to make this happens in our teaching. 
    • Michelle Brown
       
      I think the Possum Magic Video demonstrates a creative use of technology that makes learning engaging and fun for students and teachers!
  • In each case, the expert teacher needs to make creative links between what is being learned (content), how it is taught (pedagogy), and the appropriate tools (technology)
  • ICT is also transforming pedagogy by providing new ways to engage learners.
    • Holly Hawkings
       
      I think this shows the importance of ICT in teacher and how all teachers should be looking and engaging in ways to integrate ICT into their teaching.
    • Candace Merriman
       
      To me, this suggests that while ICT continues to transform, the current teachers and up-coming teachers such as ourselves have to modify our teaching pedagogy to incorporate these ICT's to engage the students and get them excited to learn through integrating the 'new' technology devices
    • Amanda Stokes
       
      ICT I feel it the way of the future, technology is always evolving and change and we must do the same. If this means changing the way in which we educate the students then that is what we must do. I am learning so many new things with this course and feel that Im beginging to learn new ways in which I can enrich the students learning.
    • Kellie Quirk
       
      This is such a powerful statement and really cements the importance of integrating ICT's into our teaching and learning. It is the way forward for engaging students and enhancing their learning journeys
    • Kate Petty
       
      Engaging learners in new ways, and ways that suit their individual needs, is the heart of what using ITCs to transform teaching and learning is all about.
    • Margaret Johnson
       
      it has transformed pedagogy by enabling learning to be inclusive
  • deep knowledge of how ICT can be used to access and process subject matter (TCK) and understanding how ICT can support and enhance learning (TPK) in combination with PCK
  • hands-on learning
  • new ways to access and process knowledge

    Expert teachers/deep knowledge of subject/understanding of what is good learning all sums up what this course and the past courses I have been involved with for the past three years have shown me however there is still alot to learn.

    • Kirstie Willadsen
       
      This document highlights the importance of developing stronger partnerships with all stakeholders recognised as important in the child's life.  Connecting parents to their child's learning through ICT can provide a more relevant and straight forward process for the parents to be involved that they will understand and can easily access.  
    • Kirstie Willadsen
       
      As highlighted in the preamble , ICT is growing rapidly and it is important for students to be able to use and identify ICT.  Conforming to this change will ensure all children have a depth of understanding as adults.

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.

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?
