Reflect+2+Implications+for+teaching

I have added this page because we need to reflect on the implications for teaching. As our experience is all very different we really need to write what it is seperately and then put in the assignment everything that we would need to do as a team! Does that make sense? So I will start below.**
 * Hey everyone,

Jenny's implications: I consider the main teaching implication that exists in lesson 2 is that of time management. Lesson 2 incorporates a series of discussions which can easily lead to losing track of time due to becoming immersed into these discussions. There are also two changes of small-group work tasks within this lesson and together with the required discussions, for this lesson to be effective, it will be essential that I be aware of the time allowances throughout this lesson. I have visited the 'surverymonkey' site and would recommend that doing will ensure that I can offer guidance/assistance to the students working on the survey task within the lesson. Being familiar with the school wiki and the class blogs would also be useful. (I really feel that time management is the big-one for lesson 2, not sure if there would be anything else, what do you think?) Jenny

Sara's implications:

I would need to become a lot more familiar with the interactive white board, especially in how to set it up and connect to a computer. I would need to gather some experience using the inspiration program and survey monkey. I would also need to play with the schools film editing software so that I had a general idea of its functions and special features to help students. I would need to be very sure about the students in my class and if they could choose their own groups and work well in all scenarios. Thats a general overview I think. -Sara The implications this sequence has for ** our(my) ** teaching practice is the ensure our(** my **) knowledge of ICT and other curriculum areas content is current and accessable to promote positive learning opportunities. and that outcomes are met. The implications of providing a learning environment which fosters a variety of avenues for students to present, research, explore and create and be accessible, manageable to support the learning outcome mandates that as a teacher I would need to be well equipped to facilitate such activities. For this particular inquiry technology programs and multi media tools (video, TV, editing tools) will need to work in alignment with the schools resources( computers, internet and email access, cameras, editing programs )and policies to produce a successful presentation.  The implications for my practice would be to ensure students are rotated within a suitable time frame to ensure they have equal amount of time to complete all group activities...consideration of appropriate grouping would guarantee minimal behavioral issues. Finally, I would ensure the technology was reliable prior to the lessons to ensure the delivery of a positive learning outcome would be achieved.The implications this sequence has for my teaching practise is in the way in which the resource provides authentic and appropriate resources with minimal and consideration to technology issues. This would ensure teachers can present current and accurate material based on the curriculum needs. This saves valuable planning time and maintains accuracy with assessing.


 * I think we can combine the implications and speak generally as a group once we collate our thougths.. I have added some very roughly to show you how we can cover all the criteria..cheryl**
