Reflect Classroom Practice/iMovie Trailers

Teachers were given the opportunity to pause and reflect on how their journey was progressing with the use of ICT in their daily classroom programmes.

They thought about where they were, and where they would like to be in the next term. They did this in whanau teams where possible, so they had the opportunity to include any new ideas into their Connected Curriculum unit for next term.

We also had some iPlay time with iMovie trailers. Another way to create content and move towards Redefinition in accordance with the SAMR model.

Integrating ICT into the Writing Process (L1 - 2)

This is integrating the use of ICT into the writing process. This is by no means all the ways this can be achieved, just a good variety of avenues.

I use the app Explain Everything as a modelling book as it is a great place to keep all the elements of motivation, modelling and samples used in a writing lesson. If you wish to record the lesson as you use the app, you are then able to replay the lesson or send it as a podcast to any pupils that missed the lesson that day.
