My Learning Experience - 9 views

In the 3 pracs that I have undertaken so far, this is the image the best describes the learning, at least from the teaching perspective that I have found. Most classes have involved the teacher standing up the front, initiating the learning, the discussion or the activity. they often use a whiteboard or more commonly a power-point presentation. This just looks like a classroom that I have been a part of.

Laser 3.14: Your Disconnection | Flickr - Photo Sharing! - 2 views

The first, of hopefully many, images bookmarked as part of an activity in the ramble for week 4 of EDC3100. When observing and teaching high school mathematics classes while on professional experience, one of the strongest impressions I had was the sense of disconnection felt by the students. A strong disconnection between their current and future lives and what they were learning in mathematics.

Look at the image attached to this tweet. It captures one of the challenges teachers face in an increasingly ICT-enabled world. How do you deal with students who bring pesonal devices (like mobile phones) to class? What happens when those devices distract students from learning? How do you deal with this? Is this a good way to deal with it? If you do this, how long before some of your students start bringing two phones to class? One to give to you and one to keep using.

Why not now?
-
The teacher thinking in a way that is new and exciting, and initiates further thinking and possibilities.
-
It also seems very exciting that this teacher is supporting learning that is relevant & shows students that learning is not just for the future but opens up opportunities for them now.
-
This also creates a relevance between the student and their world both in the educational sense and the personal sense.
-
-
Kids brainstormed ideas, wrote rough drafts, edited with classmates and teachers and created their own illustrations. Some handwrote the final draft, while others chose to type up pages.
-
Students and teachers became motivated and engaged in literacy. Students were able to have a choice between typing their stories or writing them by hand. This task was also inclusive in regards to students who might have had learning difficulties. It provided a platform for these students to express themselves creatively through the use of colours, images, written text or a variety of materials such as button, beads, different fabrics that they could cut out and paste, etc.
-
Collaboration between students and teachers promotes positive learning experiences and ensures all learners are involved and able to participate. Providing students with options to create illustrations, type or write their story by hand enables all students to construct their story in a way that suits them.

When she shared her find at a staff meeting, fellow teachers at the Scarborough school loved the idea and they all got on board.
-
Positive sharing of 'finds' not only builds resources but creates a positive, inclusive and productive professional learning environment and builds moral.
-
by sharing the idea it became a whole school activity involving the entire school community including the parents
-
Teacher was able to network with others. Created a holistic and inclusive approach to the idea. Ultimately a higher chance for success as more support is there.
-
Having an open minded and innovative staff helps, so does having the opportunity to try something different. Not all schools would have been so on board with the idea.
-
Teacher provided an extension to other teachers professional learning and used networking with other peers

students were given a kit with instructions and pages.

This activity challenges student to investigate and reflect on 'real world' events promoting a deeper understanding of what happen around them and international and how they feel about what they discover.
-
Personally I would prefer students be given choice of topic, as dictating the topic seems to contradict the impetus for the project which was to foster a student driven passion for writing.

Looks like the student is receiving support at home for their efforts at school.

I love how this seems to have involved the families too. I feel parents are becoming increasing less involved in the classroo, for various reasons, so it's fantastic that this has sparked their enthusiasm as well as the student's.

It also got the school buzzing
-
Having the whole school talking about something as positive and exciting as literacy is a great reason to do something like this! It shows how excited the students are about creating their own work - love it.
-
-
great idea to get the students to feel good about learning and they get to take something away from it that they can be proud off. Great concept and great on the school part to adjust their teaching and assessments

This reminds me of a student with ASD at a school I am aware of that wrote his own book about the struggles of making friends. It was an amazing experience for this boy, his twin sister illustrated it for him and his best friend assisted. He performed readings of the book for all the classrooms. Such an amazing experience for the child and the school.

kids would get off the bus carrying their package of materials and talking about it
-
Another awesome result of this activity is that it makes literacy possible and enjoyable for all students. Not all students enjoy or succeed in reading, but show far more engagement with writing, especially when given freedom of expression, and encouraged to write about something relevant and enjoyable to them.

What happens when teachers from across a school encourage their students to write and publish their own books. Can you identify some of the educational reasons why this was a successful project? This is a week 5 activity.

Reasons as to why I thought this was a good idea: - students and parents are involved - everyone in the class, all learning abilities, got involved - it gave writing a sense of purpose for the class - students could relate it to interests and real life concepts. - students took charge of what they are going to write

An awesome way to get kids involved with books - by creating thier own. Come to think of it, it worked for Kai too back in Yr 2.
