Engaging in engaging learning. Monthly Archives: August 2012. August 10, 2012. I recently presented a session at the Innovation Market Place that was part of the National Biennial Education Forum – http:/ innovation.esa.edu.au. The themes explored were equity and excellence. A short video was produced regarding the way in which I have structured one of the senior classes I teach. http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? IPads in the Kalahari Desert.

Engaging in engaging learning. June 3, 2013. Reflections in the Glass – GTASyd. The buzz of enthusiasm was palpable in the room, and suddenly you were thinking of ways in which learning could be enhanced and personalised for students and staff. GTA kicked of with demo-slams, where we learnt hints and tips from amazing people. No explanation was long and complex, but rather short and ever so transferable to the places where we work. I think this is a great way to start staff meetings. I wonder if the Goog...

Engaging in engaging learning. Monthly Archives: May 2012. May 14, 2012. Do I Push the Rewind Button? The journey started a couple of years back when I first started screen casting the majority of my lessons so that students could watch them whenever they needed. I altered the way in which I taught by having tutorial sessions as well as the traditional lectures. This structure tended to work, but the teacher was still pulling all the puppet strings. This video. Introduce the new way of operating at the s...

Engaging in engaging learning. Monthly Archives: August 2013. August 31, 2013. IPads in the Kalahari Desert. I am lucky enough to be involved in a project that works with schools in the southern Kalahari desert in South Africa. Even though I have only been involved for the last 7 years, the whole project has been running for 22 years. Initially schools and health centres were built. Now the focus has shifted to education and sustainable projects in the communities in which we work. We ran workshops each ...

Engaging in engaging learning. Monthly Archives: December 2012. December 6, 2012. What do you do 150 Year 10’s on the last 2 days of school? It is the end of the year, teachers are tired, students are thinking about holidays and you have 150 year 10 students to ‘entertain’ for two days. What do you do? Instead of watching videos passively we chose to engage the students in collaborative projects. We started the first day with a short input session from teachers and then let them go. We were amazed at...

Sharing thoughts about contemporary learning and leadership. When will schools know they have changed? May 24, 2015. May 30, 2015. Last week I heard Valerie Hannon talk about change (quoting someone I cannot recall) saying, in comparison to the Industrial Revolution, it is happening at 10 times the pace and 300 times the impact. Therefore the scale of change is 3000 times more profound. Wow! Anyhow…… places such as Hi Tech High. Schools such as Hi Tech High and Australian Schools Rethinking Education.

Sharing thoughts about contemporary learning and leadership. 8220;Flip the thinking” about mandated hours? March 8, 2015. That being said, the biggest takeaway of recent readings has been the understanding that there may be a reticence of some to use information in a collaborative way to build knowledge through open source sharing. The video, Collaboration – On the Edge of a New Paradigm. Retrieved from: http:/ vimeo.com/77240879. Yes, LIMIT them! Just to give you an idea of what can be done with that ti...
