Real-world science was a topic I found interesting in Block 5 of my module and I was able to discover sites where people can participate in data collection on a national scale. I was brought to this website and I found it fascinating that over 48,000 users were contributing to science.
This type of contribution to science can link to the 'participatory approach' when it comes to the curriculum in schools. This type of approach can bridge the gap between formal and informal learning apporaches.

Case studies: datalogging and eco-monitoring

# data[].attributes.body
This set of case studies allowed me to understand how datalogging and eco-monitoring is used in a 'real life environment' and how it can be used effectively in the  everyday science curriculum.
Due to my lack of experience in a school setting I rely heavily on case studies and video content and this site was a good resource for me to consolidate my understanding better.

I created a game using the Scratch Programme as part of my studies. It allows children to work on their computing skills including typing and moving the characters with the arrows.
I found the programme difficult and time consuming at the beginning as I was getting to grips with it however as I got used to it I managed to create a programme I was proud of.

I created a storybook to improve my ICT skills and my knowledge of Multimodal texts. I decided to go for a space theme and create a book that taught children about the solar system. I felt it was an interesting subject that could also involve maths as well as science due to the presence of measurements. It could also be used as inspiration for children to create their own solar systems and bring in the Art curriculum.
I really enjoyed using this tool and would use it with a class in the future.

The experiences and outcomes for each subject outlined in the Curriculum for Excellence have been the bread and butter in relating my learning to practical teaching. Due to not having experience in a school being able to use the module materials together with this curriculum has allowed me to gain a better understanding in how methods and approaches can be used to develop a child's learning.

I aim to grow my network and hope the teaching community will welcome me and in turn support me while I learn.

I was introduced to the guides created by Barefoot for Computational thinking, technology and more. They were a great source to learn specific areas and gave ideas on how you could teach them in your classroom.
I will continue to use these guides throughout the ICT and Computing topic as I find them easy to understand and relate too. In terms of when it comes to supporting the children the rest of the site I have found to be very helpful. It supplies workshops and lesson plans which I feel children would benefit from in this subject.

Scratch Maths Quiz Selection

Age:

7-11 years

Concepts / Approaches:

Debugging, Collaborating, Selection, Programming

Curriculum Links:

Maths

Pupils create a maths quiz in Scratch and learn about selection which, in this activity, allows the flow of the program to be altered depending on the player's answers to questions. Initially pupils will use an 'If... then...' selection command, before moving on to using an 'If...then... else...' command.

While completing the collaborative learning project our predominate way of interacting with one another was in our E-Group Forum.
Here, we discussed everything from website reviews to our thoughts on pedagogy and subject knowledge. It was a great way to keep a conversation going and you could use threads to keep discussions separate.
I would love to be apart of teacher forums when it comes my time to have my own class as I feel this would be a great tool to speak to others and share ideas.

In the Science block of the module we got the opportunity to work in E-Groups. I was worried to begin with as I had never worked with a group solely online, however these worries soon disappeared.
My group was great and we all worked incredibly well together and supported each other through the project. I know this is not always the case and I was likely lucky however I am so glad it worked out.
I would definitely encourage collaborative learning with my students as it was a great way to share ideas and see some things from a different perspective. It was also lovely to engage with people that were doing the same thing as you and have that encouragement from them.

I found this literature review incredibly interesting and learnt a lot about the impact digital literacy has on teaching and learning as well as the importance of it. The fact it was also undertaken and written by the Scottish Government also heightened my interest due to the fact this is where I will be teaching.

This book opened the world of mathematics for me and I am so glad it is part of the module material.
I have used it to learn maths I did not know anything about and refresh my knowledge on maths I learned and have not used since school.
I will consult this book when it comes the time I have my own class to teach and use it to aid my planning of lessons.

This book was what got me to the end of the English block in this module and clarified many concepts to me. Without this book I would still be struggling with graphemes and trigraphs and many more concepts I had never heard before.
Although written for children it was exactly what I needed to aid my learning and get my subject knowledge to where it is now.
I will 100% use this book with the students I teach and will likely buy the other subjects to go with it. It is a great tool to put explanations in simple terms and gives examples to go with it too.
I am so happy and grateful that I found it!

This module book was the first stepping stone in developing my English subject and pedagogy knowledge and I could not have got off the first step without it.
I found it extremely useful to start to learn the concepts with English - and there are a lot of them!!
This book will guide me to teaching my students but will not be my sole companion when it comes to teaching English.

It was a key part to my learning in Block 4 of this module. It gave clear descriptions of scientific concepts and use diagrams to further aid these descriptions. I liked the use of diagrams throughout as it clearly explained some concepts which were more confusing.
My science knowledge was slim and this book aided and helped further my learning. Without this book my confidence in Science would not have grown to the level it has nor would my subject knowledge.
Similarly, to the mathematics module I will 100% be using this book to ensure my knowledge is well equipped when teaching my students in the future.
