Teacher expectation & student engagement

“In deep expressions of practice, students' learning activities and the curriculum/knowledge content they engage with are

shaped in ways that reflect the input and interests of students,

as well as what teachers know to be important knowledge.”

Bolstad, R., Gilbert J., McDowell, S., Bull, A., Boyd, S., Hipkins, R. (2012) Supporting future-oriented learning and teaching - a New Zealand perspective. New Zealand: Ministry of Education

expectation leads to engagement

Combine knowledge, approaches and technologies

what is e-learning?

“...learning and teaching that is facilitated by or supported through the appropriate use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).”

Moving to deep understanding

My place in the sun - understanding why places can be important to us.

• Identify one important place where people go during the summer.

• Describe the kinds of places where people spend their summer.

• Compare the places - how are they similar? different?

• Make general statements about the kinds of places that are important to people.

Engagement before.... “Help me find my own doorway”

http://www.flickr.com/photos/learnscope/2547026015/sizes/m/

“Once we have developed a rich question, we use:> photos gathered on Flickr, > recorded video interviews with family, and > examples online, like Digistore, to engage prior knowledge on a topic.”

Diving deeper “Give me steps...or build me a ramp”

“There is more than one way to show understanding - we> sketch, > digitally mind-map, > plan and draft ideas using storytelling apps,> use a Voicethread> curate images as we prepare to explore deeper....”

Sharing learning “Pathways as memorable as the destination”

“We use tools to> support collaborative and shared writing, > flexible editing and > authentic publication. Producing ideas for real purposes and audiences has never been easier.”

What might our focus question be?

“My students mainly draft writing and then we type it up neatly, or make posters for the wall. To be honest, the work feels like its

the same as it has always been - I’m not

sure what the possibilities are.”

✓ trialing✓establishingWhat might our focus question be?

“We have tablets in the classroom and we use

them mainly for research and editing. Some students want to be more creative in the way they work. I feel we could be

using technologies to support the learning

process more strategically.”

“ I have begun to use technologies to find new pathways that suit students’ passions and needs. This has

meant designing tasks differently to how I

have in the past.”

“We integrate technologies so that students’ learning is personalised and richly creative - and we make the most of community and global connections. Learning looks completely different to a few

years ago.”
