Class resource for behaviour management reinforcement and tracking

This is a great tool...I have tested on my own kids lol. Just received an email recently stating that this app can now be used "school wide" as opposed to just in one classroom. Therefore teachers can share behaviour management strategies throughout the school.

Another of Jeff Dunn's posts on his Edudemic blog. Worth reading! From OZ/NZ educators on diigo. Includes integrating iPads.

As briefly discussed in module one it suggests that as a pre-service teacher we should consider including digital technologies to represent mental/conceptual models to assist in the learning process. I am interested to see how this may be achieved? Have you any ideas how this can be done in an inclusive classroom?

Currently I am teaching in an environment with a diverse group of students learning needs; Years 7-12. I have access to computers, IPad, Digital Projector, Internet the list goes on. E.g. Warm Ups are as a whole group on the whiteboard via the data projector and speakers. We have access to E-Books and Audio E-Books and programs like Reading Eggs for all ages.

Hi Tamara I came across a really simple concept mapping site today, which is very quick and easy to use. Bubbl.us While the same activity can be done in the student's book, so it is not transformative, it is an easy and engaging activity. Many of the students I work with as a teacher aid (mainly ASD and II) love using the computer rather than drawing and writing by hand. They can then download and save their image to their computer or google drive for later use.

Found this handy little resource. Has anyone else used it in the classroom or seen it used? 

This blog contains some tips on the use of ICT in the HPE class, mainly with the use of iPads. It also provides some information on effectively using the technology (troubleshooting, data saving).

All things physical education and sports coaching!

Great app for young students to create their own digital texts with.

This is a great app when I was on a placement I saw this in use it was a wonderful tool and the students were very engaged creating some amazing work.

Thanks for the share. What an amazing app for students. Can't wait to show this to my upcoming placement mentor to see if we can implement it into a lesson :) Cheers, Shaz

A wonderful article regarding a NZ based project in which a number of preschool educators embraced ICT within their practice and documented the process. Lots of ideas of how to incorporate ICTs into the preschool context.

Thank you for sharing this. I am looking forward to having a read and finding some useful information.

This was a very interesting read. I had always been hesitant with the idea of ICT and early childhood but this article really interested me. I had always considered ICT in early childhood as children on iPads. This article has really broadened my perception and has given ideas of transformative learning using ICTs. The use of microphones for children practising their oral language is particularly interesting as I have come across many children in early childhood centres who are hesitant to talk.
