Presentation Description:

ICT in teaching and learning must enrich the learning experience, motivate reluctant learners and develop a deeper understanding of inquiries. It should create excitement, not stress; ownership, not qualification. It must cater for a wide range of abilities and learning styles, as well as independence and team work.

E-zines motivate students to learn and produce their best work. Their writing is given structure, purpose and an audience. Because of the quality of the final product, students feel authentic and responsible. They become authentic, published journalists, Students are no longer anxious about their approximations in the semantics of writing, yet understand that these conventions are fundamental to each reader. E-zines are a celebration of all the student knows.

In the discovery session, participants will be briefly introduced to the concept of a class magazine in its online form through an example from the presenter's class, Participants will be shown free online resources for publishing - from layouts to uploading an interactive magazine.

Technology in a Primary School Art Programme - Lisa Hakkinen

Presenter Organisation:

Hale School, WA

Session Type:

Discovery Session

Presentation Description:

The Year 5 Art programme has expanded to include the use of technology to explore photography, photo editing and stop motion animation production. Within these units of work there are links to the English Curriculum in the areas of viewing and writing.

The initial skills link in with the Viewing section of the English Curriculum as the students explore the impact of shot types on the audience in film and advertising. Students compose their own PowerPoint document comprised of examples of the different shot types and the impact that they are designed to have on the audience. For many students this is their first use of PowerPoint so it introduces them to the basic skills of importing photos, adding text boxes and manipulating the font.

The basic photography skills introduced in this initial unit of work are expanded on through the use of Photo editing software to explore the artistic style of Surrealism made famous by artists such as Salvador Dali. The students use Paint.net and Art Rage to manipulate photographs to reflect the style of Surrealism. Skills addressed in manipulating their work include; altering image size, cropping, digital painting techniques and applying various effects.

Stop Motion animation is another unit of work that is part of the Year 5 Art programme. Students are asked to produce their own Stop Motion animation films using the software Monkey Jam and Stop Motion Pro. Clear links to the English curriculum are evident as the students write their own narrative and storyboard their ideas before beginning the filming process. Students use their knowledge of photo composition to take photos, using web cams, and import these into the Stop Motion animation programme. These clips are then imported into Windows Movie Maker to allow the boys to edit their clips and add relevant audio, titles and visual effects

Programmes needed - Windows Movie Maker, Monkey Jam, Paint.net, Art rage 2.5

The JASON Project. Education Through Exploration - Jodi Phipps

Presenter Organisation:

St Philip's Christian College, NSW

Session Type:

Discovery Session

Presentation Description:

The JASON Project is the use of innovation and exploration in education. Each student creates a profile and works through the missions chosen by the teacher according to which curriculum fits what they are studying. This project is open to parents as well as teachers and students; this enables parents to keep abreast of the advances in technology. The missions incorporate online journaling, lab work that uses various amounts and types of technologies, using boards to discuss the latest issues with the scientists that worked on the missions, connecting with students and teachers from across the world. The teachers have online resources at their disposal and can create virtual classrooms, keep in contact with students through this classroom, create assessments and mark them online. These assessments are stored and show the history of the students work. There is only limitation through lack of imagination within the classroom and I hope to spark the imagination of all who attend. The students who work on the JASON Project meet the student Argonaut via a video and can later speak to these Argonauts online about their experiences. With the use of JASON students can then apply to be an Argonaut and represent Australia. The programme is online and free.

This course is introducing the JASON Project which is run by National Geographic. The software needed is simply the internet, good connection adobe and flash to view the worksheets and videos. The hardware; computers that have sound.

The area of discipline is mainly science and geography. However the JASON Project does incorporate English, History and Mathematics to a degree. It is for teachers of year 3 to 9.

Presenter Organisation:

Frankston High School, Vic

Session Type:

Discovery Session

Presentation Description:

At a time when engaging students is becoming more difficult, we need to find connections to their world that inspire and motivate them. Through combining ICT and Web 2.0 technology, any number of creative possibilities can be explored, providing rich learning environments which utilise the 'technological world' students so easily navigate. This session will explore how Multimedia platforms and Web 2.0 technologies have been used in a classroom context to provide improved and enriched learning opportunities which cater for different learning styles and abilities. We will explore the functionality of interactive whiteboard software, and use wikis and blogs (Wordpress) to look at how we can link these to more established applications including Artrage, Photoshop Elements, Paint and MovieMaker. We will also look at how a simple scanner, digicamera or even a mobile phone can be used to greatest effect with these applications. Teachers can consider how to explore and provide open ended learning options which take students beyond the traditional limitations of the classroom. They will be given an opportunity to consider how they can relinquish the role of being at the centre of student learning by providing opportunities for students to engage in the rich exploration of topics, themes or issues.
