Introduction
ClickView
This has been available in the school and we are looking at releasing it for the students to use in classrooms.
Schools have a commitment to provide audio and visual resources.
School has a video library, 500 hours worth of documentaries and programmes.
These are all on VHS and slowing getting transferred to digital.
ClickView, software application for Video on Demand.
Click View Library has around 1000 titles.
All areas of the Curriculum are available on it.
You will need a data show, and may like to consider getting some speakers.
Very much Australian based. Putting on New Zealand content ourselves.
Available on your own laptop.
ICT English – Short but sweet
KnowledgeNET, being used by two teachers.
Interactive Whiteboards – wow factor, capturing information, student brilliance, save, keep, look at it later.
Film study with year 12, look, leap, pause, explain and point.
Potential to insert clips, isolate moments.
ICT Science
Demonstration of a piece of software that is uses in the department
Projectiles, staff demonstration
Tracker, a java application: Video analysis tool, freeware. http://www.cabrillo.edu/~dbrown/tracker/
You can record the video and play it back and analyse the path to show the students.
Identify frame by frame the position of the projectile.
Tracker is able to create a graph of the motion to show constant motion, also able to show the motion of the Y axis, also able to show the acceleration and declaration.
Able to show live interaction between the view and the graph.
Can’t show this really through normal methods, ICT is able to show the students in real time what happens.
The next 20 minutes will be set to individual teachers requirements. Ok, the individual teacher sessions are: Inserting tables in word, inserting an image in word, from digital camera to laptop, KAMAR attendance, KAMAR printing and students photos, ClickView, Hot Potatoes(wasn't installed on the computers in the classroom to be used for the training), Survey Monkey(removed) and Filing. Meanwhile the Social Science and Maths development will be doing development and training on knowledgeNET.
Now we have had TELA laptops for the last five years. Some teachers are still phobic about using them but slowly coming around. But how about some PD that relates to today for those teachers that feel like they are being under represented, here are some examples.
- Blogging - KnowledgeNET (When Available)
- Podcasting - subscribing and using in iTunes
- Web 2.0 - what is it and how does and will it affect teaching.
- GoogleEarth - Geography, Social Science, Science,. We are already starting to use it with science and the living stream project.
- downloading flash movie files (.flv) and inserting into smart notebook.
- TeacherTube
- RSS Feeds
- Web slideshow
- ClusterMaps
- Teacher related forums, there are some good ones provided on TKI for specific subject areas.
- Photoshop simple editing
- Creating games in flash? education purposes
- Digital Learning Objects and how to integrate them into your teaching.
- The interactive CD-ROMs available for English that have just been made available and how they will be able to work with the new Interactive Whiteboards.
- Second Life
Well in http://www.eschoolnews.com/ClassroomNews/ that I subscribe to had articles about Second Life and Teacher Tube
“Virtual island” offers real-world earth science lessons
http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/outreach/sl
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently launched what it says is the first government-sponsored, earth-science “island” on the popular virtual world of Second Life. Visitors to the site can virtually “experience” several earth-science phenomena while learning about the cutting-edge science that NOAA conducts regularly. Second Life is a three-dimensional virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. On NOAA’s island, users can soar through a hurricane on the wing of a research aircraft, rise gently through the atmosphere atop a weather balloon, or search for a hidden underwater cave on a side trip from an NOAA submersible. One climate-change scenario illustrates a warming world with melting glaciers and rising sea levels, while a virtual beach demonstrates how to recognize the onset of a tsunami—and eventually the site might enhance public awareness of rip tides, hurricanes, tornadoes, and other natural disasters.
To visit the island with their classes, teachers must sign up for a free Second Life account. After a short orientation process, users follow a link to be “teleported” straight to NOAA’s island. The site was developed by the NOAA’s Earth System Research Lab (ESRL).
And on teachertube
Education veteran creates “YouTube” for teachers
http://www.teachertube.com
Given the enormous popularity of YouTube, it’s not surprising that an education-specific version of this videosharing web site should emerge—and on March 6, that’s just what happened.
TeacherTube, the brainchild of 14- year education veteran Jason Smith, gives teachers a more educationally focused, safe venue to watch and upload videos that help demonstrate a new concept or skill, address specific learning objectives, or provide professional development for their fellow educators.
TeacherTube includes daily featured videos on topics such as teaching about the digestive system, or how to make classroom posters with Microsoft Excel—and it also offers a video tutorial on how to upload your own videos to the site. Users are able to rate videos and leave comments; search for videos by tags; find, join, and create video groups to connect with people who have similar interests; and even customize their experience by subscribing to member videos, saving favorites, and creating playlists. When you upload videos to the site, you can choose to broadcast them publicly or share them privately with only those you invite. The site is offered free of charge for all users.

Wow!
A lot of ground was covered in your pd session!! Your brain must be brimming with ideas :)
The second part of the blog looked at ideas of new ICT PD within the school. I know some of it is a WoW factor, but some students need it to start looking at education as something interesting rather than, when is lunch time.
The first part of the PD with the science department demonstrating what they do with ICT was fun. The English teacher wasn't prepared though.
I look forward to next Thursday with anticipation on what the next two departments will show.
