Dan Pink • Primary motivators (Link: HoM) • Autonomy - give students (and teachers) more… FedEx Days (work on what YOU want) • Mastery – We like to get better at stuff – DIY performance review (NOT appraisal) DIY student report cards (cfJohn Hattie – Visible Learning) • Purpose – we need to know why we are doing things. Have conversations about why.
Alan November • Flipped Classroom – more than just exchanging lectures and homework • Problem: the more experienced a teacher becomes the less they understand the problems of the first-time learner. • Student questions – vital component of homework • The teacher must study the student questions • Then set group work in the class based on these questions • Students debrief each other
Martin Levins – Armidale School • Foster a culture of trust and respect • Let’s assume kids are not going to do the wrong thing • Shift from a “control” to a “facilitate” philosophy • Move to technologiesseen as normal • Create collaborative learning environments • BYOT - Technologies is a much broader term that devices. A pencil is a technology
Stephen Heppell • Bring a Browser – the way to go • Student autonomy over the learning space, let them arrange things • Lighting – research shows students work better in spaces where there is more light • Idea: Put a smartphone in the corner of your room to video/record yourself. Share with a colleague (DIY performance review).
Ewan McIntosh • Problem finding rather than problem solving. • Characteristics of Creative People: • Be curious (Link: Ken Robinson) • Listen to yourself • Humble is good • Good energy is infectious • Find a way • Move from lower to higher order thinking: GoogleablevsUngoogleable
Sir Ken Robinson • What it is to be human – Curiosity, Diversity and Creativity • Broad curriculum needed • Set high goals and give autonomy to learners
Why Learning@TSS? • Students have autonomous access • Explanations (text files, books), quizzes, forums all help with mastery • Works in any browser • Can be used with the flipped classroom model – database/forum – collect their questions. • Has application in every subject (let’s make it a broad curriculum) • Purpose supplied by the teacher
