Guess umber between 0-100. Discuss strategies. Computers solve problems like people because they are structured by humans. Algorithm - Series of steps. Instructions around your table. Stand up face the table, your hips parallel to the table, face perpendicular, behind your chair. Turn 90 degrees to the left. Walk forward until you are one small step beyond the corner. Turn 90 degrees to the right. Walk forward until you are one small step beyond the corner. Turn 90 degrees to the right. Walk forward until you are one small step beyond the corner. Turn 90 degrees to the right. Walk back to your chair. Turn your hips back to parallel to the table and face perpendicular, stand behind your chair. NB: You'd have to explain to the computer what corner, parallel, perpendicular was. Computational thinking: Decomposition Pattern recognition Abstraction Algorithm design Scratch Pair programming - driver and navigator.  Change partners on a regular basis....

Should we/could we teach kids to code? Why or why not? Should we teach computational thinking?  Notes: Code is the next universal language. Interface to our imagination and our world. 'Tinker and twist'' time. Kids ask difficult questions about technology and how it works. e.g. Is the internet a place? Links to knitting and verbs - pattern recognition, patterns. Consumers vs creators. Need to give them the tools to create using computers. Each one of us can be part of the change. Girl changes bike lamp into movie projector for camping trip. Computers used to be humans who were good at calculating things - E.g. Hidden figures. Embrace opportunities and limitations of the world. Create something out of nothing - Power of logic. Computational thinking:  Solving problems and developing systems. Understanding human behavior, by drawing on the concepts fundamental to computer science. Response: Yes - embraces creativity and promotes problem solving. Big p...

Links between research and learning in classrooms. Research leaders and Team leaders - Not much difference. Research changes what we do in the classroom. What do these educational theories look like in my classroom in practice? Dr Fox - Research based readings. Is it true? Is it research based? Peer - reviewed work. Rationalist vs. theory based ideas. How do we make sure you are like Galileo and not like Sizi? Unlearning needs to happen - To enable change. Hearsay and thought. Thought vs opinion.  What evidence supports this? APA referencing. Unitec Library. Critique - Literature. Assignment: 1. Critical Reflection (21st century skill) 2. Outcomes 3. Plans. See separate notes. Makey maky - $50. Constructionist - Doing by making - hands on. Did we take away from this  Saw ourselves as 'creators'.  Expressing musical 'insides' - childhood experience.  Trial and error.  Discovery.  Constructivism - Learning through exp...

Learning Theories - Digital and Collaborative Learning  Skinner - instant feedback  work at their own pace experimented/researched with animals positive forms of reinforcement - Not control.  Connectionism Build learning a step at a time positive reinforcement Against lectures and demonstration Progressive - John Dewey Teachers as guides Connection home and school Hands on learning Learning through doing Constructivism - Vygotsky Social development Zone of Proximal Development Teacher = facilitator, not content provider Constructivism - Equilibriation - Piaget Discovery Balance with environment Create students that can create new things - not already done.  Social Cognitive - Bandura Observation and modelling teachers act as models - Media can effect behaviour Situated Cognition Learning is about performance in situs - not accumulation of knowledge Don't pour knowledge into head - create eye glasses  -...

Leadership SAMR Model. S - Substitution A - Augmentation M - Modification R - Redefinition (new tasks that were once un-imaginatable) TPACK 3 knowledge areas. Technical (the partner - content assess to students - delivery), Pedagogy(the how - tools to use), Content (Subject matter) Venn diagram - @2012 by tpack.org Google tour builder - Lesson created in small group: The amazing race - Treasure hunt How to use Google Tour Builder These are your clues. Using the Tour builder create a map with pins dropped on the areas you find. What is the connection between these places? Clue 1: 27°59′17″N 86°55′31″E   Clue 2: A waterfall in Zambia. Clue 3: Navajo : Tsékooh Hatsoh Clue 4: Home location of Marlin and Nemo.

Flipped preparation (required): Film your reflection on the activities you provide for your students/staff on using their 21st Century Skills. Use at least one relating ITL rubric as a tool. Make sure the video is no longer than 3 minutes. Publish your video to G+ Community with the hashtag #21CSreflection and your location specific hashtag. Next time we’ll use the first 15 minutes to make sure everyone has a video in the G+ Community, if you have any issues with filming or uploading we will help you.  Conditions for Classroom Technology Innovations supportive school environment healthy human infrastructure Function and convenient technical infrastructure Supporting teachers: Reading reminded me of:
