- 4. Fitzroy River Turtle Year 6 science Teacher notes/thoughts/justifications • I thought the science units were boring • Students needed to be hooked • I knew my learners loved odd, weird topics • My networks and links with the Fitzroy Basin Association provided the topic: Bum breathing turtle • The curriculum learning outcomes could be achieved by using this topic
- 5. Using a travel buddy Teacher notes/thoughts/justifications • This was a new pedagogy for students • I had to sell the idea that their travel buddy would help gather new information about this animal • A website blog could be used to record and store what was found • A blog could capture how each student was thinking ie HOTS • I could provide feedback to individual students to develop their achievement of the learning outcomes.
- 6. Designing – Technology Curriculum Teacher notes/thoughts /justifications • Technology curriculum learning out comes could be achieved by asking students to design a travel buddy kit • This was new to me • Students were assessed using a standards criteria sheet eg A,B, C, D or E • This group task needed discussion • ICT communication tools allow students to work 24/7 • Supports student creative thinking • Kits were really sent to other schools
- 7. A real life focus Teacher notes/thoughts/justifications • QPWS researchers co operated with us • They sent photos and information back • It was fun for me also • The information supplied was not in a website or book. • Took time for the teacher to organise • Teacher prepared to take a risk • Real life tasks are often messy
- 8. Creating new knowledge Teacher notes/thoughts/justifications • researchers testing ways of protecting eggs from predators • unit became complex because my class wanted more computer time in lab • parents were providing feedback how excited students were about learning • term time was limited • no student failed science this term • I never said no to any proposal that came our way
- 9. Habitat models Teacher notes/thoughts/justifications • Boys are a challenge to engage • Active learning had a better chance of making them understand habitat needs • Students designed and built habitats. • They justified their finished designs based on the needs of the turtle • Classroom logistics was a challenge with 6 fish tanks in the classroom • Blooms taxonomy was used to challenge their thinking
- 10. Celebrating Teacher notes/thoughts/justifications • I always want to experiment with curriculum delivery • Author request to write reading book to capture my class learning journey • 3000 copies printed

Can be added to and changed in any order. Students can add comments and ideas Can have multiple authors Can have multiple authors Suit a variety of purposes and uses Can have multiple authors
- 12. DIGITAL PEDAGOGY Digital pedagogy is a big concept that simply means the ways that you design learning using digital technology so that your learners come to know what you know, and in the ways that you know it. EQ identifies digital pedagogy as being "a new way of working and learning with ICT to facilitate quality learning experiences for 21st Century learners. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) is the name given to any digital device eg software, hardware.
- 13. ACTIVITY ONE – 5 MINUTES Brainstorm why you believe that ICTs would need to be used within your teaching space. Create a list of ICT tools that you may use. Why might you choose embedding these ICTs over other, more conventional and conservative methods of ‘chalk and talk’ teaching?
- 14. Your course information says: As an information source •to enhance teaching and learning •for blended learning - what proportions of face to face and online learning is optimal for your goals? •for online courses without a face to face presence
- 15. To connect your students to other sources of information - human and non-human. •Access a variety of multi-modal resources. •Assessment activities - quizzes, small group collaboration eg wiki, assignment upload to a website •To blend distance and internal students together through shared activities and spaces. eg school camps, flipped classrooms, web conferencing. •As a learning space for collaborative negotiation of learning.
- 16. Hot off the press: Education Queensland says a Contemporary Effective Learner Please include this in your blog post this week and explain how it relates to your future teaching area eg secondary history or primary early childhood.
- 17. SHOULD WE USE ICTS ALL THE TIME THEN? Learning with ICT is beneficial only when appropriate learning approaches are taken. There is still a place for the face-to-face. What about early childhood and primary? Fine motor skill development such as manipulating, constructing, handwriting, cutting, etc. is essential.
- 18. PRODUCTIVE PEDAGOGIES 1. Facilitating deep knowledge through higher order thinking 2. Facilitating collaborative learning in which conversations are important 3. Supporting students in knowing how they learn best 4. Planning learning that is problem-based, and situated in real life contexts 5. Is relevant to students, and connects to their background knowledge 6. Supports learning that is owned, controlled and managed by students themselves 7. Is socially supportive, engaging, and values cultural knowledge 8. Is supportive of the development of active citizenship, and strong group identity.

- 21. TPACK FRAMEWORK •Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge framework. •Digital technologies are fundamental in good learning design. •It’s important to know your content, and how to teach it so that your students can learn.
- 22. THE FUNDAMENTALS OF TPACK You MUST have technical skills. How will you develop your technical skills? You MUST know your content . Where will you get your content? You MUST know how to deliver your content so that your students learn effectively. As a beginning teacher how will you learn how to deliver your content?
- 25. BLOOM’S TAXONOMY •Identifies ways of knowing from simple to complex. •Developing HOTS (higher order thinking skills) in our students. •It’s not intended as a linear process. Can you link this taxonomy to some of the learning theories from week 1?
- 27. LEGAL, SAFE AND ETHICAL USE OF ICTS •The use of copyright images and materials are able to be restricted according to the owner's wishes. •You should model and teach ethical and legal behaviours. •Child safety – creating safe learning environments (stranger danger). •Cyber bullying – an ever increasing concern as bullying can now follow you home! •Privacy - posting student work in a controlled environment. Email example. •A Teacher’s right to privacy? Facebook, etc. •Reputation Management- an increasing issue in school land •Don’t use your own equipment eg camera
