What are ICTs?: A Queensland View - 10 views
-
-
Again a list of operations that can be done with these technologies. How many of these operations are used in learning and teaching?
-
For me personally I have seen many of these technologies being used in learning and teaching. Eg - The use of Ipads and computer labs, using the smart board to do internet searches as a whole class by encouraging the students to think about key words relating to what they are researching, and using a software application called Tux Paint to re-create a story scene as an extension from an English project.

ICT tends to mean computers and their peripheral devices
-
This is no longer the case. Mobile phones, tablets, bee bots and the integration of ICTs into a range of devices is moving beyond just computers
-
I totally agree. Children are using technologies like vados, easispeaks, iTeddies, digital cameras to achieve required outcomes and assessment tasks.
-
I thought that was the old definition of ICT and that its new definition embraced anything that was available for communication purposes, storing data, gathering it, sharing it, etc. as seen in the Hello Kitty video. I fully support the idea that ICT is not regarded as a piece of equipment but it should be a way of life where it is a/any tool used for whatever is required so rather than thinking how we can incorporate ICT into the school curriculum, it should simply be one of the avenues used by students to achieve what they want to achieve.

what, in fact, is critical is “how” the technologies are used (Reimann & Goodyear, 2004).

The Wrath Against Khan: Why Some Educators Are Questioning Khan Academy - 0 views
-
But that's the crux of the problem right there: lecture-demonstrations. Although there's a tech component here that makes this appear innovative, that's really a matter of form, not content, that's new. There's actually very little in the videos that distinguishes Khan from "traditional" teaching. A teacher talks. Students listen. And that's "learning." Repeat over and over again (Pause, rewind, replay in this case). And that's "drilling."
-
They point to studies that find while students receive these sorts of videos positively, they are actually learning very little or learning very superficially
-
Physics teacher Frank Noschese, for example, contrasts the video of Khan's explanation of force with a video documenting his students' exploration of force through hands-on experimentation.

Teachers: What's Your Motto in the Classroom? | Edutopia - 2 views
-
The Week 2 activity in asked What's your pedagogy? got me thinking, I decided that building relationships with my students was extremely important to me. I agree with this article and Elena Aguilar shares a very similar pedagogy, her classroom is not just individual students, it's a community in which everyone belong
-
Awesome question! I have a number of motto's but I think one stands tall amongst them all. We are all equal and put downs of course are not to be tolerated but I believe more focus on student fear of failure resulting in a lack of effort to succeed. There will be times in our career where we will witness students losing motivation due to ridicule from peers or even self-ridicule. More than once I have heard in a maths classroom a student admitting, "Oh I'm not good at maths", even when I can see that they are quite capable. Effectively the student is giving themself permission to fail. My moto is "THANKS FOR CORRECTING ME!" Too often students fear answering a questions in case they get it wrong, and some students will abuse others for their mistakes. It is a cultural attitude that is in the workplace as well as the classroom. If someone voices that they have discovered a mistake you have made, then that gives you the opportunity to correct yourself. If you cannot see the error, then it is an opportunity for them to teach you something new. It doesn't matter which way you look at it, mistakes should be celebrated as a collaborative learning opportunity, and as teachers we should encourage this.

Multiliterate Star Warians: The force of popular culture and ICT in early l...: EBSCOhost - 3 views
-
The abstract for this sounds interesting Can popular culture and information communication technologies (ICT) broaden early years' multiliteracies experiences? This paper presents a case study that begins with boys role-playing Star Wars action scenes at the commencement of the school year, and concludes with an end-of-year school community celebration of a new DVD Star Wars movie sequel, designed and performed by the boys. The Children's Star Wars Project was developed in a small Western Australian independent community school committed to the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy. The case study provides an exemplar of the integral relationship between early childhood pedagogy, multiliteracies metalanguage, and multimodal designs of meaning. Implications for educational research are that popular culture and ICT can be readily integrated with early childhood education (ECE) to broaden multiliteracies experiences. As shown in this case study, these experiences facilitate the achievement of The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia outcomes.

will the technological tail be allowed to wiggle the educational dog or will it be the other way around
-
Education is far too important to society to be wiggled by a technological tail. Let technology show us what can be done, and let educational considerations determine what will be done in actuality
-
The first factor, the Technological Paradox, results from the consistent tendency of the educational system to preserve itself and its practices by the assimilation of new technologies into existing instructional practices. Technology becomes "domesticated", which really means, that it is allowed to do precisely that which fits into the prevailing educational philosophy of cultural transmission.

The 360 Teacher - 2 views
-
This is a primary school teacher whom i know personally. She began her career as a teacher soon after graduating high school - a dream job for her. Years later in her life she took a break from the classroom to run a family business. She has now done a complete 360 and has put her teaching hat back on once again. She quotes: "Well after having my first day back in the classroom I am SO HAPPY because I know I am doing the right thing for me. I had a wonderful day and I now know how much I actually missed being a teacher. Today was a big step in a new chapter that involves lots of learning for me but I am doing that through fresh and keen eyes and I am very excited!!" This woman is very inspiring and easily someone you can lean on for support. An asset to any classroom or workplace!

Sometimes I wish technology was more integrated with learning at my school, but then I realize why it’s deliberately separated. There’s something great about getting a new book, cracking the spine, and flipping through the pages. With technology, everything is fleeting. You can read a book on your iPad while listening to Spotify, making a call, and checking Twitter. There’s a value in slowing down and being with the material you’re reading, free from the distractions of the outside world

It turns out that for most major scientific concepts, kids come into the classroom — even in middle school — with a whole set of beliefs that are commonly at odds with what scientists, and their science teachers, know to be true
-
you had to explain what causes the change in seasons, could you? Surprisingly, studies have shown that as many as 95 percent of people — including most college graduates — hold the incorrect belief

If teachers are to help students change their incorrect beliefs, they first need to know what those are

The Electronic Digital Computer - How It Started, How It Works and What It Does - NYTimes.com - 7 views
-
Whether it is solving a differential equation on the motion of charged particles or keeping track of a nuts-and-bolts inventory, the digital computer functions fundamentally as a numerical transformer of coded information. It takes sets of numbers, processes them as directed and provides another number or set of numbers as a result
-
Among the characteristics that make it different are the flexibility with which it can be adapted generally to logical operations, the blinding speed with which it can execute instructions that are stored within its memory, and its built-in capacity to carry out these instructions in sequence automatically and to alter them according to a prescribed plan.
-
Despite its size and complexity, a computer achieves its results by doing a relatively few basic things. It can add two numbers, multiply them, subtract one from the other or divide one by the other. It also can move or rearrange numbers and, among other things, compare two values and then take some pre-determined action in accordance with what it finds.

An Educator's Guide to Acceptable Risk Taking - 0 views
-
Kathy Cassidy writes and shares a video about what risks are acceptable to take when teaching children new tasks such as reading and writing. The idea that risk taking is apart of teaching is hard not to agree with. All students are individual and have a different way of learning, so approaching activities with different mindsets can be quite daunting. As teachers, she writes that we need to grasp the idea of the work risk-taking.
