Teaching and Learning with Technology

Teaching and Learning with Technology

1. Technological negatives

   • Screen Time
     • Technology isn't going to go away students need to develop tech literacy. Advise parents them what their kids are looking at.
       • Get parents to have boundaries on screen time - if parents are having issues with their kids not participating in home activities

2. Student Learning

     • Critical Thinking

3. ICT

   • Information and communications technology
     • ICT Frameworks

         • Inspire
           • motivate and emotionally connect learners to content and each other
         • Model

         • Practice
           • repeat, stepped process, drafting
         • Apply
           • look for relationship, compare/contrast, visible thinking
         • Connect
           • engage with experts, student to student and beyond classroom
         • Transform
           • create a representation of new knowledge, reflect on what know
         • Blooms Taxonomy
           • 6 levels to Bloom's Taxonomy
             • Knowledge
               • lower thinking skills

         • TCK
           • How the subject matter better illuminated by the use of this technology
         • TPK
           • Is this the best technological tool for the chosen teaching strategy?
         • Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge
         • PCK
           • How do the chosen teaching strategies allow students to meet the skill and content objectives
         • it means that technologies are used in ways that enhance student learning

4. Student Centred Learning

   • Student centred learning focuses on the student rather than the teacher - it usually is used for group learning
     • Learning Theories
       • Constructivist - Constructionist
         • The knowledge is student-based - they construct their own knowledge/ predictions
           • Example: Project based learning - mathletics
       • Behaviourist - Cognitivist
         • knowledge is teacher-based and exists external to the student
           • Technologies
             • Content-specific
               • games that present information incrementally with questions to be answered by the learner - Correct answers are rewarded and incorrect answers are reindicated.
             • Content-free
               • that are blank empty and can be applied to any content/ subject domain - students have to do something in that space. Constructivist - Constructionist - view of learning. Log programming
           • Example: direct based learning - Projects, big questions, like ShowMe App and Educreation

5. Teacher Centred Learning

   • A teacher-centred approach is one where activity in the class is centred on the teacher.. Usually a traditional way of teaching to allow students to have knowlledge quickly

6. Australian Curriculum

   • Australian Standards for Teachers

7. Assistive Technology

   • Assistive technology: focus on students who have specific learning needs
     • General areas of assistive technologies
   • General areas
     • Access
       • Access technologies to enable students to engage with the curriculum
     • Supportive
       • Supportive technologies to improve efficiency within learning episodes - remove barriers
     • Curriculum
       • Curriculum applications to enhance learning in a specific curriculum focus
     • Framework
       • Framework applications to cater to learning needs (e.g. PowerPoint, Word -literacy supported)
   • Examples
     • Environment recognition: Seeing AI read, identify things.
     • Immersive readers: MS Office
     • Handwriting recognition: Pen to Print
     • Immersive readers: MS Office
   • Access Hardware for curriculum engagement
     • - Alternative keyboards - Mouse alternative - Switch system - Interactive systems - Virtual Reality - Transformation hardware - Communication devices VI Hardware - screen magnification and enhancement - OCR and screen reading - Braille devices
   • Transforming Content
     • Written content may need to be transformed before student can effectively engage with the text
       • Three step process
         • Create digital copy
         • Recognise content (OCR - optical content recogniser)
         • Place digital content to an appropriate digital format for the student

8. Teacher Pedagogical practices with ICT

   • Instructional
     • Instructional practise divided the learning activities into smaller units with use of positive and negative feedback for corrections.
   • Revelatory
     • The activities and knowledge are placed in order for students to discover the content.
   • Conjectual
     • This enables students to manipulate ideas and hypotheses to develop their knowledge further
   • Pedagogical Beliefs
     • Dualistic
       • right or wrong knowledge handed down by authority
     • Multiplistic
       • multiple views but still believe that most knowledge is certain
     • Relativistic
       • most knowledge as tentative and contextual and generated by the self
     • Relativism
       • that knowledge is uncertain and based on the weight of accumulated evidence.
     • Teachers use technologies based on their beliefs about how students learn
   • Approaches to use EdTech/ICT
     • Supplementary
       • same same
     • Enrich/ Augment
       • Add to existing practice
     • Transform/ leverage
       • change practice
