How do I use digital resources from different countries
Teija JormanainenPielisjoen koulu, Joensuu, Fi
o The subject I teach,
o The age of the students,
o The digital resource itself.
The way I use digital resources depends on
The main aim in using them is
To get the up to date information,
To get more information than what the textbooks can give,
To motivate and inspire the students.
Digital resources can be found
Search engines like Google, Different portals like LRE and OER teacher Network,
National publishers, public sector, broadcasters, the Ministry of Education,
The colleagues.
The basis for choosing the resources
The content is up-to-date,
The content matches the grade level of the students,
The content of the resource is reliable,
The content of the resource is “adaptable to my needs”,
The content of the resource motivates the students.
The main ways I use the sources are
When preparing for the lessons,
In the classroom to motivate the students,
To give more information about the topic to the students,
The students use them in classrooms as part of their assignments,
As a source for homework.
I use the digital resources in teaching in the following way (1):
The resource as a whole: http://celebrate.ls.no/English/Animations/Science/drivhus_eng.swf
Dividing the resources into smaller pieces, e.g.:
http://www.oulu.fi/northnature/english/englanti/talvihaku.html
http://www.ahven.net/opetusmateriaali/talouskalalajit/kalat/kuha.html
http://www.abpischools.org.uk/page/modules/hormones/horm2.cfm?coSiteNavigation_allTopic=1
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/animations/
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/helicorders.php
I use the digital resources in teaching in the following way (2)
Video clips or animations as a demonstration
http://nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/malaria/parasite.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/blueplanet/webs/flash/weboflife.swf
Create assignments for students on the basis of the given resources
I use the digital resources in teaching in the following way(3)
For students to test their knowledge http://nobelprize.org/educational/medicine/landsteiner/landsteiner.html

Digital sources as a basis for our discussions

The students using the Internet
The students don’t usually pay attention to:
Reliability
Topicality
Copy rights
” The link bank”
First, my students and I talk about the features of good digital resources and then we make a list of those features
We collect digital sources based on the agreed features and put the chosen resources in one place (e.g. Moodle).
The link bank: students’ list of the features of good resources
Reliable Informative Links to other pages Safe, no viruses Free Up-to date Clear and easy to read Uses good pictures and flash animations Pages function well
The link bank: students evaluate the following features of the resources
Contents
Realibility
Topicality
Copyrights
Appearance
How the students use the resources in the link bank:
They use them in their tasks and assignments
When presenting the task to the rest of the class , they show the digital resources they have used.
They tell why they have used the sources, and whether the resources match the features of good resources
The portals I mainly use
LRE http://lreforschools.eun.org
eQnet Unilearn: http://unilearning.eu
OER Teacher network http://oertn.eun.org
Finnish portals
The benefits of using these portals
A lot of the good digital resources
It is time saving
I find resources that I maybe never would have found otherwise
I don’t have to think about the copy rights
Easy and quick to use
