Session 1: Choose Your Own Adventure Stories - Michael Davidson
I was super impressed to have the learners take this session - very inspiring!
- Colour code your plan - red is death; blue is a good step and green for beginning and end
- Use multiple choices to give your reader the choices
- Add images or videos to make your story more interesting - upload a video to You Tube to add it to your story
- Include a 'try again' option when you die :)
Session 2: Classroom Management in a Personalized Learning Environment - Patrick Green
At the heart of all personalized learning is the wants, needs, hopes, dreams of the students. There are three main components:
Competency based progressions - each students progress towards clearly defined goals.
Customised pathways - a path that adapts based on their learner profile, strengths, needs, interests and goals.
Flexible Learning environments - student needs drive the design - dynamic and responding to the needs of the learner.
What questions do you have about classroom management for personalised learning?
Why does Personalised Learning matter?
- Not every student is ready for the same piece of learning at the same time - meet your students needs when they are ready for it.
- Know your role - coach; guide; re-direct; question - your knowledge on how people learn
- Provide scaffolding - activators; extensions; last 5 minutes; learning process
How to get students to take more ownership of their learning
- By making expectations, processes and procedures extremely clear
- Visual ad campaign - visuals for what you expect students to do
- By giving them access to data and access to resources
- Online space - 27/7 access
- Digital marking book - process rather than marks - available for the students to see
- Mini lessons - learners can work through these on their own
- Empower students with choice - be intentional about when you allow students to choose a product or tool
Other Ideas:
- Arrange the room to maximise the learning
Session 4: Google Sites for Visible Teaching and Learning - Fiona Grant
What is the reason and purpose for using technology in your classroom? Have a purpose in mind - fit your technology to the purpose! Is your learning designed to be easily shared?
To make learning visible:
- Rewindable learning supported
- Accessible anywhere, anytime, at any pace
- Personalised via multiple opportunities to access content
- Hub of information about events
