More Change isneeded. • The “teacher” MUST become the “expert learner” …unlesswewantourstudents to start to say: • “stop interrupting my learning with your teaching!” – a Tweet by Matthew Wells
Some Sydney Region K-6 Teachershavechanged… • Barbara.Schaffer@CanterburySouthPS • Kindergartenteacher • Collaborative Learner, Blogmaster • EducationalTechnologist
BloggingwithKS@CSPS DET Blog Trial Term 2, 2009
BloggingwithKS@CSPS Out of 20 students, 6 can now independently blog - The others are supported by their year 6 buddies - one student has 26 letters in her logon name Building relationships with new parents and their families - parents getting more involved from home
BloggingwithKS@CSPS Cross-curriculum work is blogged - Phonemes, Fundamental Movement Skills, Maths Pattern Making, Jellybeans Music Program “Quality of student writing is really improving.” - both on-line and on paper
BloggingwithKS@CSPS Barbara says she learns something new for each lab session - Photoshop Elements, Video, Photostory, Blog Plug-ins - “Self-learning is important – if you don’t know how, find out.” The DET Blog Trial is continuing at the school in KS - but is also now being extended into other classes
BloggingwithKS@CSPS • KS Online Blog: • http://tinyurl.com/KSOnline • Highlights: • Book Week Parade • Independent blogging Canterbury South just got their Connected Classroom - KS really wanted to see what it was about, so an impromptu videoconference was arranged with Bambos the next day just to say hello. Barbara’s mission now is to master the IWB. Well done Barbara!
Some Sydney Region K-6 Teachershavechanged… • Craig.Snudden@Engadine • Year 5 teacher • Provingdailyyoudon’tneed the latestgear • Class Blog, Wiki, TeacherTubeProducer, SchoolWebsite Master, Stop-Motion Animator, SmartboardOperator, Twitterer, Lifelong-Learner
5S@EngadinePS The Smartboard is the ONLY board in the classroom - It’s on all day and all students use it too A Shared mini computer lab is at the back of the room - 8 Windows PCs and 4 eMacs with a Windows Server - The neighbouring 5/6 class rarely uses the lab but sees 5S in there every day, with students usually working independently
TeacherTubeis a major repository for much of the work that 5S does with multiple videos published each week. The class has produced over 20 separate videos covering multiple KLAs, with over 4,000 views to date. From debating to cooking to maths to stop-motion animation and science experiments. Video camera, web-cam and now with Pocket video cam. They use MovieMaker, iMovie, ICanAnimate – Windows and Mac http://tinyurl.com/5Svideos
5S@EngadinePS This is a closed wiki, only accessible via invitation. Mr Snudden’s Wiki – a new direction for the class - A place to catalogue links to resources used in class - Those resources are not lost when a topic has been completed - Some Wiki pages have student ownership – eg. Sports Report Page, plus individual student pages - News, pics, videos and discussions – all in one place.
5S@EngadinePS http://snudden.edublogs.org 5S EPS Blog – another new direction for the class - The 5S Blog has only just started - The school pays $5 per month to allow managed class access - It will be a publicly-visible repository for their classwork, providing a potential worldwide audience
5S@EngadinePS http://tinyurl.com/EPSwebsite The Engadine PS Website – gateway to the community - While Craig started the website using the new DET Service, he has now managed to get all staff at the school to contribute - News, photos, newsletters and permission notes - Easy to update from home and can even embed class videos
5S@EngadinePS Collaborative Learning in Class, Professional Learning Network for Craig - Craig is a self-learner, but he relies on his PLN to keep him up to date with everything ed-tech. An active Twitterer, a member of the Sydney Region ICTForum and regular ICTDayattendee.- Now they create DVDs, on-line surveys and shared web links- Just three short years ago, Craig was doing none of this in class.
