o Based on their recommendations and the aforementioned literature, this toolkit proposed a framework of strategic planning processes that encompasses six strategic dimensions that TEIs need to focus on:
1. Vision and Philosophy
2. Program: Curriculum, Assessment, and Practicum
3. Professional Learning of Deans, Teacher Educators and Support Staff
4. ICT Plan, Infrastructure, Resources and Support
5. Communications and Partnerships
· Parent/school communication- blogs, class website, skype sessions/interviews.
· Professional development communication with other teachers. Setting up a supportive network with other new teachers. Such as the Beginning Teachers Network.
· Parents can be a great resource for supporting what is happening in the classroom e.g. for excursions or donating computers/books to the class.
6. Research and Evaluation
· Assessment- report card comments.
· Screencast o matic – recording tool when using web browsing, also records the voice over. Useful for PD videos.
Two presentations this week. Games in Learning and Thinking Digitally
· Games in learning- using games for assessment.
o Can be used as an observational tool
o Used for formative assessment, e.g. mathletics.
o Not so much for summative assessment.
o Educational games need to implement assessment to allow for teachers to utilize these games properly. E.g. printable assessment overviews.
o Example- who wants to be a millionaire.
· Ours- inquiring with ICT.
· Early Years ICT- animated classroom using moviemaker
o Creating a stop motion movie.
o Future shots- competition allowing students to make their own stop motion film.
o iClone5 – using characters in a virtual world.
