Student Learning 2009-10


Here we are at the start of another school year with a bit of time to reflect on our growth and use of technology to support student learning. We grew by leaps and bounds last year and the momentum will only continue to grow. In thinking about this year, what would you like to accomplish in your classroom where technology can support and enhance student learning?

For example you might want to collaborate with another classroom somewhere else in the world for a particular unit, or perhaps you see students taking a more active role in instructing the class using technology tools, or you plan to include more mind mapping or similar activities, or you want to achieve a streamlined system of electronic communication with students, or you want students to publish work to a wider community, or help students become more effective presenters, or.... a million other ideas.... This is purely a brainstorming activity to get us thinking, nothing is written in stone!

Please enter a comment below and share at least one thing that you would like to accomplish this year. Sharing may spark ideas for colleagues, help Ann collaborate more effectively with teachers, and celebrate the diversity and growing expertise of our staff.

Last year the students in grades 6 - 8 began to use iWeb for their developmental workbooks. There were many trials and many errors, but in the end I was pleased with the results. This year, I want to take what I learned and improve upon last year's results, because last year the results were positive, and this year I want the results to be *very* positive.

I would like to see laptops become true tools of learning and not distractions. I would like students to show me some of the cool things with tech that they have discovered.

I would like to use the macbooks more effectively as a learning tool. I am also interested in students using mindmaps as part of the review process for exams and in preparing for projects such as one world essays, presentations and posters.

Blogging with the older students to create more interactive literary analysis and comparative studies as an alternative to straight chapter summary work.

I would like students to proofread and edit each others' writing remotely--homework and classwork.
I would like students to find appropriate locales to publish their writing--and then publish it and share the information with other students.
I'd like to have my students form 'skype communities' (see speaking and speak) with native English speakers so that they can develop their motivation to speak English and their English proficiency with the input from social peers around the world.

Candace Taylor-Weber

I'd like to do it all!!! :) As a start, I'd like to see a) my students use technology more responsibly (take care of equipment, manage files, leave thoughtful and appropriate comments, etc.), and b) use technology as a standard tool in practice in daily learning... not just for special projects and summative assessments.

Robin Hutchison

I'd like to see X year plan that identifies some key technology that we can implement effectively and for this to be revisted on a yearly basis.

Aggie Huang

I'd like my students to use Mac to make very practical podcast/flashcards... to help them memorize the characters and improve their use of the charming language! I'd also like my students to use mac to publish their work, books, etc. By the way, to use WIKI to strengthen the integration with other subjects areas...

Nadean Curtiss

The students enjoyed using Comic Life last year....it was a great tool for synthesizing information and putting it into a creative format...will definitely use it this year.
Also, would like to use e-journals as an ongoing assessment of student understanding..questions...etc.

Angel Chen

I would like for students to be able to do an oral presentation in French with Keynote as (ONLY) a support tool for language. I would also like to be able to get students to complete homework online via interactive activities and to be able to give feedback to the class.

Students and teachers using iCal properly could really improve communication.

Niki Swart

introduce the grade 2's to mind mapping. Intergrate IT into all areas rather than just the IT class. Work with other PYP classes that are doing similar units using flat classrooms or collaborative wikis. Work on how to do research effectively using the internet. Publish work using different Mac tools.

Mr. Toole

I would like to set up a wiki for my classes because we have lost studywiz, so I need to be able to communicate with students outside the classroom.

Vicky Gammon
Aug 10, 2009

I'd like to integrate information literacy with inquiry skills and the inquiry cycle along with language and writing models so that, for example, using a wiki becomes part of language lessons and students can read and interpret search results better.

Angela Harvey

My students presented scientific reports based on experiments they designed using imovie. Although there were a few hiccups to work through, I think that using this method of presentation achieved so many more outcomes than just an understanding of the scientific method and conventions of writing in science. I would like to continue to persue this avenue and try and improve on it further.

Eunice Ong

Last year my students used i-movie to introduce NIS. Students showed their interest to submit work using new technology. However, there were some technical problem during creating the movie. I still would like the students to use this program this year, and I want them to burn into DVD.

Charlie Mcbride

My goal this year is to make more use of student communication/dropbox/sharing of assignments articles etc.
A second goal is to create a wiki for a few of my classes and to use it effectively.
