WEEK 3 - 3rd August 2017

Reading: Conditions for the Classroom Technology Innovations

Technological Innovations vs Traditional Instructions

Interaction between technology and education in which technology can be used effectively in the classroom to improve student learning.

Computers and technology have not been used more in schools due to:

• Incompatibility between tech and current culture of school
• Unreliability of technology
• Teachers don’t know how to use it correctly
• Poor quality of educational software

Does technology facilitate or hinder teachers’ use of tech in the classrooms?

Innovator (Teacher)	The Context (School)	The Innovation (Project)
Technology proficiency - knowing how to access programmes, emails and resources Pedagogical compatibility Social awareness	Facilities, equipment, and networks Support staff, procedures Organisational culture	School culture Available resources Innovator’s current practice and familiarity with technology

All technology learning must have a purpose, engage the tamariki and is integrated into their learning.

Students who travel overseas could create one to share with the class either as they go or on their return and then we share the journey with them.

A learning idea our group came up with:

Google Tour builder - Shapes around the World

Learning Intentions/WALT:

WALT: identify, discuss, and relate shapes using oral language

WALT: Use what we know about shapes and explore them with maps..

WALT: Use directions to create a tour.

WALT: Explore shapes that are found in the world using technology

Learning Outcomes/Success Criteria

Our Students will be able to;

Identify and describe shapes used in cities around the world

USe shapes they have seen to collaboratively create their own model city

Use tour builder and other web based sites

Work with others to plan and execute designs

Great … you need to download the app... it only worked on modern phones that had a movement sensor.

Aurasma an overlay of a video on a face... disappointing as it did exactly that. If the instructions had been given differently so you drew a body that the video face sat on... it would have been more fun... a limited use for in class students. As seen it once ...you could share it once and then it has had its day.

Quiver... this was good, you needed the quiver sheets, coloured in pictures could move.. Ie an octopus and the seaweed...

4D Anatomy -   Gives you an insight into different parts of the human body.You need the 4D sheets that you download. It has some potential use in the class.

For these to be effective you need to download them onto a portable device... not a laptop so I wonder how we can implement them in class.
