A future focussed pathway for preparing new teachers

Dorothy Burt (Manaiakalani Education Trust)

Many of us have been experimenting with with flipping the classroom and retooling schools in recent years, but questions have been raised about what changes are being made to prepare new teachers entering the profession. The Manaiakalani Education Trust in partnership with Google and the University of Auckland have created a new pathway into the profession via the Manaiakalani Digital Teacher Academy. Launched at the end of last year 10 graduates have begun training in Manaiakalani schools and expect to emerge fully registered, with a post graduate qualification and fully prepared to provide leadership in digital learning environments. The MDTA is in primary and secondary schools. Come along to this presentation if you would like to hear more about this.

Students are metacognitively processing their achievements and failures, leading to increased understanding of their own learning journey.

Digital Citizenship in a BYOD world – Primary focus

Andrew Churches (Kristin School)

As students bring their own devices to our classroom, and with them their own connections, applications and personal materials, developing good digital citizenship practices become paramount. Establishing a fundamental set of guidelines to provide an ethical basis for action and supporting this with easy to understand rationale for these is critical. Students at the different levels of school need age appropriate resources to develop their ethical framework. They need worked exemplars that they can understand and relate to. These two workshop cover digital citizenship in the age of BYOD from a Primary and secondary school perspective and provide a widely used, both nationally and internationally, framework of ethical behaviours.
