  2. Agenda

  3. Wordle Warm up (5-10mins) “When you hear the word ‘science’ what key word comes to mind.....?” • Write your word on the strip of paper and place in bucket at front. • Randomly draw out participants words and enter them into website link below to create a science wordle: • http://www.wordle.net/create

  4. The Role of ICT in the classroom • To enhance teaching and learning. • To make and construct meaning to the real world, creating a life-long learner. • Requirement within the National Curriculum.

  5. Enhancing Teaching and Learning • SHORT SURVEY (5-10mins) Identify the areas that you apply aspects of ICT in your teaching practice. Is there anything that you do that is not included here? • Barriers for ICT integration; skills/ training, lack of time, maintaining currency, teacher attitude, resourcing/ access/ availability and technical issues. Anything else?

  6. Enhancing Teaching and Learning • Provides an effective and efficient tool for planning, learning experiences, assessment and communication. • Opportunities to engage both teacher and student in higher order thinking skills. • Supports students with learning needs; including literacy and numeracy development and the gifted and talented.

  7. Life-Long Learning “Learning is a process of making sense of the world around you and constructing knowledge, through the experiences you have, by relating your experience to what you already know, and through the guidance that teachers are able to offer you” (von Glasersfeld 1995). • The ICT rich classroom provides additional sources of knowledge and information which reduces the dependency of pupils upon the teacher. • Enquiry approach: students have the opportunity to take an more active role in constructing their own knowledge rather than a more traditional, passive role of receiving it.

  8. ICT and NPST • Standard 6 – Apply ICT in managing student learning. • 6.1 – 6.6: Various skills and knowledge required to support students with ICT needs and creating learning experiences that engage students to actively use ICT. • Developing learning strategies, assessment and evaluation to achieve learning goals.

  9. ICT and the Curriculum “ICT is a powerful tool in science and in learning science. Used appropriately, it helps students to develop better knowledge and skills and to make a successful transition to the world beyond school” Qatar Science Standards, Education Institute • ACTIVITY (15mins) • Choose a Science Strand from the National Curriculum. • Select one standard and identify any opportunities for ICT; either explicitly mentioned, ICT that you have used or any new opportunities. • In the ICT’s identified; • What is the teachers role? • What is the students role?

  10. ICT in Subjects • Note the importance of having specific ICT subject to teach skills of ICT and the enhancement of subjects through using ICT

  11. ICT for Instruction • Software: programs (choosing the most suitable and the skills to use). • Equipment: data loggers, GPS, digital cameras, probes (access to resources and the skills to use) • Communication/ information: emails, websites, podcasts, blogs, virtual classrooms, forums, wiki-spaces • Search Engines: choosing one that works for you. • Websites: evaluating the usefulness and suitability. Please refer to your handout for a range of useful websites.

  12. ICT Workstations • Activity (20mins) • EXCELling with data– Plight of the Paper Plane Follow instructions on worksheets provided OR • GO TEMP Probe OR • Mousetrap Racer – Make and test Race car.

  13. Morning Tea/ Salah • 15 minutes to recharge batteries

  14. What is WebQuest? KITES - http://imet.csus.edu/imet1/richardek/webquest/index.html Pay attention to the website, answer these questions? What is WebQuset? What are the main parts of the WebQuest?

  15. Webquests • What is a webquest? “An inquiry-oriented activity in which some or all of the information that learners interact with comes from resources on the Internet.” Bernie Dodge, San Diego University • Example – Kites (Grade 6) Physical Processes – Grade 5 12.4, Grade 6 15.5

  16. Defining Webquests

  17. Advantages for using Wequests • Engages and motivates students • Online enquiry process supports student centered learning • Research is organised • Caters for multiple learning levels • A great alternative to the standard “research paper” project • Ensures that students are using reliable websites to find their information • Promotes life-long learning for 21st century learners.

  18. Two types of Web Quests • Short term – Designed to be completed in one to three class periods. • Longer term – Designed to take between one week and one month.

  19. Considerations • Picking a Starting Point – topic. • Don’t reinvent the wheel – there are 100’s of existing webquests, adapt one to your needs. • Link to the National Curriculum – standards and enquiry skills. • Utilise podcasts, photos, videos and the web as resources to support your quest. • Plan with enquiry in mind – it should provide students with opportunity to demonstrate deeper thinking skills not just lower level recall.

  20. Key Elements of a Webquest • Introduction – A concise paragraph or two that supplies students with background information and motivation for completing the project. Can include a question that ‘hooks’ students in. • Task - Provides a clear outline of what students need to do and the final product. • Process - Step by step strategies, supporting resources websites, videos, word document etc • Conclusion - What should they have learned from the project? • Evaluation - Rubric - grading criteria (see handout example)

  21. Explore a Webquest • Activity (45 mins) • Choose a webquest from the following site: • Either choose a standard to link to a webquest or find a webquest then link to standards.... • WEBQUEST Locater http://www.gecdsb.on.ca/d&g/DP/locatorv.asp • Read through and analyse the structure and content of chosen webquest. • Adapt the webquest to suit your school/ classroom.

  22. Examples of webquest • Biology: Is gene therapy worth it? • http://klogallo.tripod.com/gthquest/template.htm • Physics:ROLLER COASTER PHYSICS • http://www.glencoe.com/sec/science/webquest/content/rollercoast.shtml • Chemistry: Extra! Extra! Read all about it...Organics Hit the Market! • http://www.bellmoremerrick.k12.ny.us/webquest/science/chem.html • Chemistry: THE CHEMISTRY OF FIREWORKS • http://www.glencoe.com/sec/science/webquest/content/fireworks.shtml

  23. Reflection • POST IT (5-10mins) • Write on 3 separate post it notes your answers to the following questions; • One new thing you learned over the day. • 1 fact about ICT • How might you use ICT with your class differently after today? • POST your answers to the corresponding flip chart located around the room

  24. Other Considerations • You can design a Word or PowerPoint webquest if online resources are limiting. • Websites for webquests: • WebQuest Locater • Find Pre-Made WebQuests • Teacher Tap • Locate and Evaluate WebQuests • Rubistar Rubrics
