Tools to connect and enable collaboration for example blogs, twitter, Skype, Google Hangouts, video calls promote digital collaboration.]]> 2018-09-02 00:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277110321 annandjohng https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277110469 Learning should drive technology. It should be authentic and purposeful. It should extend and support learning;  create opportunities for students to connect with others globally.  As learning is monitored, evaluated and reflected on the impact of technology will be evident.  Teachers who meddlers in the middle constantly, asking asking questions, challenging sources will continually promote inquiry. ]]> 2018-09-02 00:14:20 UTC https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277110469 annandjohng https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277110779 Creating platforms, such as class notebooks / Microsoft class notebook  for collaborative thinking and inquiry for the class.]]> 2018-09-02 00:26:23 UTC https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277110779 annandjohng https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277110879 Exploration of students' rights and responsibilities around digital citizenship around technologies is important.  An example from one school around digital footprint board - The 5 Ps for a positive digital footprint; profile, privacy, project, permission, positive.

An example for early years, Bee-Bots - students learn directions, coordination, coordinates and compass points.  ]]> 2018-09-02 00:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277111005 annandjohng https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277111190 Platforms to store assessment data and anecdotal notes provide a central place to monitor students learning.

It's challenging to keep up and schools approach this is different ways.  Some schools have a teacher with a responsibility for technology, another may employ a technology integrator (not qualified teachers but experts in the field of technology) to support teachers and students in the integration of technology other schools have different approaches.  What is important is that the technology promotes inquiry and a teaching and learning drives technology.]]> 2018-09-02 00:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/annandjohng/trcbh6hneqfy/wish/277111415
