Digital Citizenship • Goal: • To discuss/develop and implement digital citizenship flowchart that will be integrated into learning programmes. • Criteria: • What is a digital citizen? • Who does it effect? • How is it relevant to our learning environments? • Defining the “nine elements of digital citizenship” • Discuss four main areas of digital citizenship • Next Steps: • Implement into unit plans as part of ICT component – copy to be attached to each unit master • Include at least one area of DC in learning intention and success criteria for inquiry and integrated units • Use alongside cyber safety lessons in Senior ICT specialist class • A copy of flowchart has been uploaded onto school website • Flowchart has been discussed with BOT with positive and supportive feedback • Copy of Flowchart has been added to school website • Evidence: • www.schoolground.co.nz/eskdale • http://digitaldaze2-ictcluster.wikispaces.com/Eskdale/milestone: Teacher e-portfolio example (see slide 6)
E-Portfolios • E-portfolios: • Discussed in staff meeting: e-portfolios will be used to reflect on teacher learning for the classroom. This reflection may be looking at ICT or Literacy, both schoolwide professional development focuses for 2011. • Each teacher has an appraisal goal for each of these developments making their e-portfolios a living document (see ICT Goal slides 3-5). • It was decided to use PowerPoint as a starting point as this is a programme that the staff have used before and are comfortable with. (Broadband coverage does not allow more than 2-3 people on internet at a time as it slows down considerably) • Liz has had a session with each staff member explaining and setting up templates. Next staff meeting will discuss expectations of what will go in portfolios eg Literacy and Nump - which are our school wide focuses for this year. • Each class has a class blog which they will eventually link to their e-portfolios to show examples of learning. • Time has been set aside at the beginning of each staff meeting for reflection time, sharing of successes/concerns and guidance/professional development in the use of appropriate tools. • Concerns: • Time limitations • Fear of “big brother” • How personal should one get in an e-portfolio • How do you put supporting evidence in • What do we put in?/Who can teach me how? • Successes: • Teachers are beginning to feel more comfortable about sharing their thoughts and reflections. • One staff member has stated that she can see a progression in her knowledge and confidence since the beginning of the year. An excerpt of her e-portfolio (teacher e-portfolio example) has been added to our Eskdale page on the cluster wiki – see evidence section below for link • Each teacher is beginning to show more confidence in using the ICT suite with their class more regularly either with peer tutors or on their own to upskill themselves/students on useful tools/applications eg comic life, e-books, art-rage, moviemaker to use alongside their inquiry topics - see evidence section below for link • Evidence: • Excerpts of teacher e-portfolios are available on our cluster wiki under: • http://digitaldaze2-ictcluster.wikispaces.com/Eskdale/milestone : teacher e-portfolio example • teacher 2 e-portfolio example • student slideshows
Mini Conference • Presentation Subject: • MovieMaker • Blurb: • An introduction to making movies using video footage and photos. This is a great programme for all age groups. We will look at using different effects, slide transitions, editing video footage, creating a storyboard of photos, importing audio and recording student voice. • Reflections: • Yay! No technical issues!! • Very different to teaching children. • A little nerve racking but I enjoyed interacting with the participants. • The feedback I received was positive. • Participants seemed to be appreciative of the handouts and examples • Next Steps: • It was a lot of information for participants to take in – needs to be hands on with a longer timeframe. • Evidence/Link: • Link: see teaching resources page on cluster wiki: • http://digitaldaze2-ictcluster.wikispaces.com/Teaching+Resources
