What will you be doing in 2010
As the end of the year slinks in, many of us are not only wondering what the best way to deal with the students after the reports are written, but also reflecting on the year’s teaching and learning, evaluating what worked and what perhaps did not work so well. In effect what you want to “keep” doing, “stop” doing and then on to things you would like to “start” doing, in your classroom or your preparation.
Over the year I have presented a range of different options for how you can start using 21stC tools, now we may be able to find some time to help sort out the best approach for your situation.
- create your digital resources: podcast, slideshows, videos, prezi
- set up your course online: Moodle, myClasses, Ning, wiki, blog
- try out some new stuff, digital cameras, ipod touches, flip cameras iPods are booked through me, and there is a Flip camera available through the library on each campus.
- try something a little bit different – geocaching, I will have my GPS with me, and maybe some of us can go for a wander (with the kids) and find the very nearby hidden treasures… in the heathland, at the back of the oval…and just down the street. Not sure about what geocaching is – ask myself or Nadine as we attended (virtually) an inspiring conference about how Healesville High School developed some great and innovative work with their VCAL students using this fun approach.
Not sure where to start? Go back to the ePotential survey and check out the continuum. You will have resources and ideas specific to your level.
Need to find out more… I will be on each campus throughout the week, so add a comment here, or let’s book a time to sit down and get innovating.
Other resources include: the VITTA conference on the 23rd – 25th November, Tech Talk Tuesdays and the final Connecting Innovators session for 2009: Strategies for Personalising Learning online in elluminate. Book through Knowledgebank.
Keep the great conversations going too….
