Effective Teaching
about 2 mins
Technology is at the forefront of innovation in our schools and
the TPAK model on the right here tells us that when technology
comes together withContent knowledge and Pedagogical knowledge, our
teaching is going to be most effective.
However it is very hard to innovate in something you hate and we
usually dont like things that we either dont get or find difficult
which links in closelywith our content knowledge and pedagogical
knowledge the what we teach and how. When thinking about using
technology and innovation it is important to focus on what you are
already good at, and start there.
Technology will be ineffective if it doesnt have the correct
content and pedagogy to go with it.
The second image here shows shows that first hint of
transformation where teachers see technology on its own. It is seen
as separate topic to teach. and often used for the sake of
incorporating ICT into the classroom.
Where as we want it to be across all areas and not just for the
sake of it but TO IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND AS A TOOL FOR
TEACHING.

Inspiration (from Some Primary School Kids)
about 3 minutes
I want to start with a little bit of inspiration.
This video was made by two year 6 children after working on a
project about the country France.They had to extensively research
the country its good and bad points, looking at its history,
economy and culture.They then had to convince a family from the
future (who is living on Mars) they they should choose to live
there.
Each term we make an iTunesU course for our students a rich task
for humanities that incorporates a number of learning areas.
They made this in iMove. I taught them nothing. I gave them
opportunity and freedom to present how they wanted too.Have a think
about some of the skills these two kids had to
have/develop/practice when completing this assignment. 3

Saw the benefits of using ICT in the classroomStarted
researching other schools who have had success with BYODStarted
BYOD trails last year, Term 4 with one class.2 x Year 5/6 Classes
started as BYOD this year3 x Year 3 & 4 Classes trialed then
started full time BYOD in second semester
Goal for next year ALL upper primary classes to be BYOD from day
1.
Why?To improve educational outcomes through the effective use of
ICT as a teaching tool.

What do I use BYOD for? Everything across all learning areas (as
long as it improves teaching and learning experiences). We are able
to use iPads/Android tablets as a way to present our understandings
in our classroom. We also use it as a tool to access a wider
curriculum. We use it to practice skills and complete extension
work.

engaged kids = successful kidsthey are visual learners and
devices definitely cater for that like no other resource I have
found

Implementing BYOD You must have teachers and parents that are on
board. Its a whole community effort. You need to have a working
wireless network across your school. You need to have classroom
routines, rules and processes in place. You must be willing to try,
fail, laugh, learn and cry.

your children are capable of7
Too much to tell!Todays session! Ideas on how you can use BYOD
in the class Sharing some student success - Showcase Presentation

2minsIdea and sharing together as quick as I can so we can get
onto the good stuff playing timequestions as I go around and talk
to groups
BYOD has become something I cant live without now that I have
seen what it can do for a classroom of kidsI started with only
thinking it could be used in Humanities when we did project work
but I have found out that this isnt the casethe possibilites are
endless.
When I show you the student work I have taken it all from our
online leanring journal which is through the app SEESAW which all
our parents have access too.
