PLANNING TOOL……………

Planning………..

• Is it what they did before, but done with technology?

• Is it something different, rather than innovative?

• Is it genuinely improving the learning experiences for students? If so how? Can you very clearly articulate that improvement?

• How is it impacting on the lives of your students?

• How is immersive access increasing the learning opportunities for your students?

• What is the scale of improved experience? ie how often, across which classes, and over what period of time?

Bold and ambitious teaching practice: What are the resulting experiences for your students?

• Increase in 21st century learning skills – including multimedia engagement, greater quality/quantity of writing, multiple/deeper investigation of information (Warschauer, 2005)

• Motivation, engagement, independent work, interaction, and class

preparation/participation of students with disabilities improved (Harris, 2004)

• Access to a 1:1 device for teachers and their students often forced a

change in teachers’ level of risk and openness to learning (Rockman, 1997)

• As digital confidence grows, and teachers are more ambitious…

More students are accessing more mathematics in deeper ways. Students explore new dimensions of accessing new knowledge Students are more engaged in in-depth research (Warschauer, 2004)

What the research tells us about embedding eLearning into curriculum planning ubiquitously…
