Day 1

I was enthused about today. I feel like a lot of new doors have opened as well as confirming that some of my current practice is still relevent for the learners in my classroom. I hope that I can remember everything that is shown to me today and I have created some rough step by step guides for embedding the youtube clip and on how to create the visual ranking tool. Tonight I must try to clear the mind and think of some interesting questions for my unit of work. I am hoping that this will be able to be used next term and that I will be able to share this with the two other 6/7 teachers at my sight.

I have made a couple of very rough instruction guides on how to use some of the programs we looked at today. They are rough and may not be detailed enough for inexperienced users but they could be useful as a starting point to help others.







Day 2

The morning session was about using the project based learning approach in the classroom. Attatched below is a brief explanation of the approach and a couple of links to the important components of a project based approach.



After recess we were introduced to'Evernote'. A useful online resource to save various images, video, sound, websites etc. This would be good to gather all your ideas on a particular theme for use in the classroom.

Just a forensic science clip that may be useful for my unit of work

Wordle seems like a good idea for making small posters, or even a word wall for my unit of work on forensic science. A couple of examples are below;



Day 3

Today we were made aware of copyright restrictions on photos and pictures taken from the web. Creative Commons is a great soure for usable images for your work. I have posted some instructions on how to properly acknowledge photos taken from the web. I just hope the instructions are accurate....
