  1. Utilising a Netbook to provide Personalised learning – Interactive Whiteboard 1-1 Netbook program

  2. Agenda for today • 1’ NSSCF and 1:1 Notebook Programs • 2’ Introduction to Interactive WhiteBoard possibilities • 3’ How to use ActivInspire Software in classroom • 4’ Workshop: Plan your own lesson using Interactive Whiteboard (utilise e.g. ActivInspirein your plan)

  3. NSSCF • The National Secondary School Computer Fund (NSSCF/the Fund) is a key component of the Australian Government’s $2.4 billion Digital Education Revolution initiative. • The Fund is assisting schools to provide new computers and other ICT equipment for students in Years 9 to 12 • The Fund is a universal access program and is assisting schools in the public, Catholic and independent education sectors, regardless of location. • The principle objective of the NSSCF was to achieve a 1 to 1 computer to student ratio for all Year 9 to 12 students by 31 December 2011 and this goal was achieved. • more than 911 000 computers have been installed, by the beginning of the 2012 school year (the original target of was 786 000 computers)

  4. NSSCF – 1:1 Programs • Under the Fund, state and territory governments and non-government school systems are responsible for purchasing and delivering the computers in their schools. • Depending on need and preference, schools can purchase netbooks, laptops, tablet computing devices, install more desktop computers or deploy a mix of mobile and stationary devices.

  5. 1:1 Program in Victoria • The program will run until 2013 and will be delivered to Victorian government schools with students in Years 9-12 through the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD). • In Victoria the preferred Student Learning Device of Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD) is a Netbook up to a maximum cost of $600 each. Should schools wish to purchase device at a cost greater than $600, they have the option of co-contributing funds in order to do so. • a Netbook device may alternatively be referred to as an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), ultra-mobile notebook or mini-notebook and is of a 10-inch form factor weighing less than 1.5kg. • 10,000 Acer Aspire One and Lenovo netbooks distributed to schools in February 2009 (The Netbook Project). Families participating to Project leased a wireless-enabled computer for their child for $52 a year.

  6. 1:1 Software: Edustar • Edustaris an image which is placed on over 200,000 computers across 450 schools for years 9-12 in Victoria. It includes over 40 Software programs and is a tremendous resource for teachers and students in improving learner outcomes. • There are currently over 80 software applications available on the eduSTAR software list. The broad range of applications cover: • animation • concept and Mind Mapping • digital video and image creation • drawing and painting • interactive curricular resources • logic and problem-solving • 3D modelling and game-making • presentation and multimedia tools • sound and music making • thinking skills • typing tutors • web authoring tools • writing tools. • http://epotential.education.vic.gov.au/showcase/edustar_win

  7. 1:1 Netbook Benefits • Minister for School Education, The Hon Peter Garrett MP: • “The computer rollout is transforming the way students learn, enabling them to work autonomously and develop the skills they need to go on to higher education, into a trade or enter the workforce.” • Netbooks promote better learning in and out of school by encouraging: • anywhere, anytime access to learning • independent, self-initiated learning • more family involvement in education • collaboration between students in different schools, states and other countries.

  8. 1:1 Netbook Benefits • The goals of the curriculum are supported, not supplanted, by the use of 1-to-1 devices. • Students will use 1-to-1 devices where they serve a purpose, for instance, in research, data analysis and generating presentations. • Wireless access will allow for ‘just-in-time’ learning where students can search for information or collaborate with others in a real-time context. • Students will be able to use their school files at home and be able to collaborate with their peers on projects through social networking.

  9. 101 (and counting…) Classroom Ideas for 1-to-1 Learning • DEECD has collected examples how to use Netbooks effectively in teaching into “eLearning ICT Showcases” website under topic “1-to-1 learning” • http://epotential.education.vic.gov.au/showcase/index.php?showcase_id=62

  10. Redesigning teaching practiceswith a digital pedagogy focus • Standard teaching practice before and now with netbook: • Before: Ask students to keep a journal so that they can reflect on their learning. • Now: Set up a personal blog for each student • Advantage: connect to a local or global audience, students can receive immediate feedback from their teacher and peers – and entries, comments and feedback on the blog can be recorded for use at a later time. • Before: Discussion with students • Now: Online discussion forum • Advantage: Gives students an opportunity for extra ‘think time’. • Now lets’ hear about possibilities with Interactive Whiteboard…
