Lead Teacher Day 14 September 2012
Another successful day with the girls!
We started the day off playing with Ipads- such fun! I managed to make my first ibook ever (about B1 and B2- Dora the explorer- Garrisons and living happily ever after!) unfortunately we couldn't upload it. I also had a play on puppet pals. I made a very funny skit about me going to the ball with the handsome prince.
We had a yummy morning tea (Thanks SPS) and made our way to BBI.
BBI was very informative- the main focus was on google teacher dashboard and student reflections on inquiry learning online.
I found this hear sitting and listening to- I thought alot of it was over my head as I only use google docs, emails (in ICT cluster only) and blogspot- a whole school initiative we have going at BDS.
Another thing I loved is the thought of "bring your own divice" so kids must use ICT ofr 50% of the time.
Will this work in primary schools?- Can we teach a skill where kids on on different divices?
I love the things BBI offers- I cannot believe the wonderful opportunities our kids have today!
We returned to SPS to have our dear Abby and blog reflections.
Looking ahead to an EXPO- April holidays- looking at the one towards the end- as the learning is fresh in peoples minds and they can hit the geround running at the beginning of the term instead of relaxing and forgetting.--> Hope I can go!!!
Another successful day and I'm looking forward to the next one at B1's house :-)

Dear Abby
Issues with CM in the cloud for BDS :o( discussion for e-asttle.
Cloud Computing- Why do it? Cost? Options?
EPS- stored email at Gmail- Using Google you can share apps/docs etc so you can have all shared documents like timetables and planning online and you can share them. Kids can get a dashboard- webpage- blog- spreedsheets-surveys etc
Mobile Learning at EPS-
ipad- Voice Plus Application- read story and check pace etc- "change voice for fun- underwater for example.
Zombie Maths- blow up the zombie before it get to the cannon.
Puppet Pals- Read a story and get your charachers to act it out
Dictation/italk/voice memo/word wizard/etc
Comic Life-Spella- word avalanche(free)
Maths game- Star School (Times Rap)
Reading stories
I-pods- much like the ipad- 8 per class so can run a group.
Maths Bingo- word hangman
A very cool day and look at some fabulous apps... guess who wants an ipad now........

Reflection from our Lead Teacher Day
The day began with a quick chat and note taking on this mornings meeting. We have decided to ask staff if they are interested in a "cluster Expo" or similar. We chatted about whats been going well in each school and started a "dear Abbey".
Stonefields Visit:
We had a great visit to a brand new school, my very first visit to a new school! Great shared learning areas, use of storage and ICT. I loved the roll of photos showing on the monitor. I also enjoyed the trolley teaching station and furniture! woo hoo! I also really enjoyedthe simple learning model and "breakthrough" no child should ever find something too easy. We came back and did a great PMI :-)
Smackdown:
A sharing session of cool new sites :o)
