Editor's Notes

• #2: Before the PDEnsure:the data projector is turned you are connected to the internet (check your ethernet cable) you have speakers plugged and turned onAlso – please take a moment to familiarise yourself with the staff FAQ so that you can be more informed for any subsequent discussion.
• #3: What we will cover – explain that this is an introduction of what sorts of things to expect in February. This means the classroom which may only have a few devices. The could expect anything from 1 device to 30, the reality is that it will be somewhere in between. (we will showcase examples of what this might look like later in the session). A look at classroom management and an opportunity to pose questions will round out the session.
• #5: This is a very brief summary of the benefits of using ICT tools. The research comes from Noeline Wright at University of Waikato commissioned by the MOE. This is quite a comprehensive study into the benefits of e-learning as a whole (not just student owned devices) and a link is available on RangiNet (E-Learning) if anyone is interested in further reading. The argument that devices do not raise achievement may come up here. If this arises please point to the fact that studies done so far (including this one) point to the real success of devices as being about improving engagement, motivation and attentiveness in learners. There are collected research papers available on RangiNet e-learning.Orewa College introduced a mandatory device policy this year. Tony Zaloum is Director ICT Projects at Orewa College stated that is has created a more differentiated classroom that improves student enagement. “Parents, students and teachers have been very positive. By and large, teachers see computers as, at the very least, an extension of the students’ work books and, in many cases, a real opportunity to enrich and differentiate in the classroom.”
• #7: Best not to let this derail into discussion about policy. Direct to the FAQ for more information (types of devices will be covered in here).
• #8: Best not to let this derail into discussion about policy. Direct to the FAQ for more information (types of devices will be covered in here).
• #9: If staff are interested in learning more about these – they are the ongoing focus of the E-Learning PD.Discussion on this will come later in the presentation.
• #10: If staff are interested in learning more about these – they are the ongoing focus of the E-Learning PD.Discussion on this will come later in the presentation.
• #11: If staff are interested in learning more about these – they are the ongoing focus of the E-Learning PD.Discussion on this will come later in the presentation.
• #12: A discussion opportunity follows on the next slide.
• #13: Think/Pair/Share: Ask staff to consider on their own what has happened / or could happen in their classrooms. Ask staff to discuss this in pairs or small groups. Finally move to a whole group discussion.Some things to consider: What would you like your students to use their devices for? If staff have had student bring devices: What device did the student bring? Did they bring it regularly?
• #14: Any issues or concerns considering policy are covered in the FAQ which staff can refer to after the PD.
• #15: Redefine the partially integrated classroom.
• #16: Lesson overviewThis is a well managed classroom with clear and concise instructions for learners.Resources are readily available (including textbooks, their notes and some students had devices). They are engaged in a range of tasks.Teacher has high expectations in terms of pupil engagement and students respond accordingly.Students giving their own thinking time and work collaboratively through a differentiated community of inquiryCarolyn facilitates and directs students to drive their own learning.Students with devices are independently accessing resources to inform discussion and clarify their own thinking.Students easily access the wireless network quickly without incident.Discussion ideas: What strategies were being employed by the teacher. How does this differ from a ‘normal’ lessonVideo summarising this lesson is the next slide.

• #21: Following this slide is an activity which involves a series of scenarios for brief discussion in small groups.
