Leadership• Who leads the technology decision making,

and to what end?

• eLearning vision or Learning vision?

• Understand research around technologyfor thinking and learning

• Understanding BYOD definitions and implications

• Commit to a strategy for a significant periodof time

• Embed a strategy whereby all teachers improving learning using technology not just the ‘champions’

…the degree to which the Principal participates as a learner is twice as influential as any other factor.Michael Fullan 2012

4MandateDevice*

PROS• Greatest parental choice• Any size, brand or capability

CONS• Managing multiple devices

with different capabilities • Can be inequitable• Tends to confine activities to

simple integration (eg. research or typing up information)

• Device capability differs which can restrict learning opportunities

• Only constant is web-based tools

PROS• Devices run the same software

and perform the same• One platform simplifies the

learning environment – e.g. Tablets and laptops aren’t in the same classroom

• Dual Band wireless, >i3 processor,4GB Ram

CONS• Teaching with different

Operating Systems and capabilities – pen, touch, non-touch

• Must run certain programs e.g.Office, Adobe

• Brand, price and platform can vary

PROS• Parents choose price points • Devices are maximised plus

teaching is easier when all devices have the same capabilities (e.g. everyonecan ink, run the required app or program etc.)

• Can guarantee all students can partake in the same activity and application for learning

• Digital inking for maths, touchscreenfor apps

• Large screen for multimedia • Ports for peripherals

CONS• Parents and students don’t have

free choice • Servicing is parent’s

responsibility, which can cause downtime

• Brand and price may vary

PROS• School selects the best

possible device based on educational research

• Teachers can plan curriculum to meaningfully exploit that single device for learning

• Teaching is easier when all devices have the same capabilities (e.g. everyonecan ink, run the required appor program etc.)

• School bundled servicingand support

• Single model, platformand device

• Servicing, financing, supportand warranty integrated

 CONS• Parents and students don’t

have free choice • Cost can be an issue,

although could mandate a cheaper device

Writing in Education

“Handwriting is a foundational skill that can influence student’s reading, writing, language use, and critical thinking” – Saperstein Associates 2012

“When children practice printing by hand, their neural activity is far more enhanced”

– Bounds 2010

“Learning how to write by hand is a necessary motor exercise”

– Saperstein Associates 2012; James and Gauthier 2006; James 2012; Berninger 2012

“Children consistently do better writing with a pen. They write more and they write faster”

– Berninger 2009

“Pen interfaces that support writing numbers, symbols, and diagrams substantially increase students’ ability to generate hypotheses when solving science problems”

– Oviatt, 2009; Oviatt, Cohen, Miller, Hodge, & Mann, 2012
