What is the teacher asking the students?
The teacher is asking the students a basic math question, but asking them to show their working out.

What is the teacher getting from this assessment that you wouldn't get from a written assessment of 20 sums?
This form of assessment allows for a technological aspect and shows student differentiation of how they got their answers, which is less stressful than a 20 sum written assessment task for both student and teacher. It also is less time consuming marking wise.

How does this assessment help you understand what a student knows?
It helps us understand how each student had a differentiating approach to answering the question. It helps a teacher to understand how student brains works and what they know in terms of mathematics technologically.

Is it more or less valuable than a written test of 20 addition questions?
This form of testing is definitely more valuable.

Using tools like Explain Everything, Screen-o-cast or even simply recording with a video what could you assess in your method?
I could assess the students memory of dates, their memory of course concepts or their ability to differentiate information.

Teachers who employ the use of technology in the classroom need to ensure that:

They consider new ways to supervise students

Ensure there is safety when using online technologies

Have online-bullying strategies in place

Most schools however have supportive systems in place for students, which focus on not only physical injury but emotional distress.

What is a duty of care?
A duty of care is a legal obligation to provide care. This includes:

Adequate supervision

Ensuring location, premises and equipment are safe

Providing medical assistance if necessary

Implementing anti-bullying strategies

As a teacher, I have the duty to take reasonable care for the safety and welfare of my students. However, a risk assessment needs to take place before any activity is undertaken.

Privacy and Consent:

Signing students up to online spaces or sites may require parent consent

Consent must be fully informed, freely given, current and specific in how the information will be presented and to whom it will be presented.

Professional Responsibility:

Requires a teacher to understand what their online footprint represents

In order the optimise the use of an IWB, you must ensure your school has the correct software installed on the control computer.

Ways to use an interactive whiteboard in a history or SAC class:

1. Dual page view

2. Using pre-existing images

3. Online presentations

4. Displaying videos

There are numerous tools for learning, however filtering may pose an issue when it comes to accessing these sights.

Below I've listen the tools I would/have utilised in classes, lesson plans or units of work:

Scootle

TED talks

Youtube

Google Docs

Powerpoint

Prezi

Pintrest

Moodle

Kahoot

Padlet

Popplet

Word

Google Scholar

Survey Monkey

MovieMaker

iMovie

TodaysMeet

What basic concepts in your teaching area are essential for students and how could they be presented in a way that could help students?

What tools could you use to create a tutorial?
In my teaching area of history, concepts such as primary and secondary sources as well as usefulness and reliability are essential for students to understand content. Additionally, in society and culture all the course concepts are essential for responses and overall learning goals. Thus, they could be presented in an iMovie or Windows Movie Maker created lesson.

Student voice:
What are the benefits for the students and the teacher?

Teachers can act on student opinion and create lessons they'd engage with

Students feel involved in their own learning process

Build rapport with students

How could students creating examples like this assist your assessment?

It enables you to find out what students do and don't engage with

Assessing students on what they're interested in, rather than forced content

TPACK (technological, pedagogical and content knowledge)

How all three of these elements work together in a way to support good teaching

Context based

Understanding interaction between the three

Use of sub domains

Technology:

Ability to use software and computer

Content:

What you as a teacher are trying to convey to your students

Pedagogical:

How to teach

PCK:

Where pedagogical and content knowledge come together to allow effective teaching

TCK:

When a teacher knows technology and how it related to content knowledge

TPK:

Use technology to support teaching

What content knowledge do you need for your subject area and where is it located?
As I am a history and society and culture teacher, my content knowledge is located in the content section of TPACK.

What is pedagogy? Have you ever been taught by someone without it?

Pedagogy is the theory and practice of education. I however, have never been taught by someone without it. Even the not so good teachers in high school had a slight aspect of pedagogy in their teaching.

What technical knowledge do you have?
After taking E-Learning in 2015, I have a more extensive technological knowledge than I originally did. I became aware of different educational technologies that I could utilise in a classroom.

What technical knowledge do your students need to have?
Students who undertake any form of technological learning will need to have basic ICT skills, but explanation for students who only have the basics would be necessary.

SAMR

Blooms taxonomy for educators

Framework provides reflective teaching

It's not about the technology but how a teacher uses it

4 different levels/2 different sections:
1st level - substitution
2nd - augmentation
3rd - modification (significant task re-design)
4th - redefinition (creation of new tasks)

What activities could you think of that you could get students to do in your subject area that would fit into each level of SAMR?
Substitution - writing an essay on Nazi Germany on Microsoft word, rather than hand writing
Augmentation - Write an essay on Google Docs, rather than by hand, so that comments and editing can be added
Modification - Instead of writing an essay, create an edublog dedicated to the same topic
Redefinition - Instead of writing an essay, create a digital story

- Take not of the acceptable use agreement employed at every school
- Filtering is different for both students and staff
- Learning management systems differentiate at all schools, read up on the one used in your school
- Check smart board branding, technology will differentiate by brand
- Always have a technological plan B

Pre-Service Teacher videos:
- Emphasis on flexibility
- Note making
- Scaffold learning
- Setting up technology takes times
- ICT units may not always be applicable
- Technology may detract from content
- Handouts as backup in case technology fails
- Things don't always go to plan, even with testing
