Comments for Miss W. and her Smartboard http://tasteach.edublogs.org Experiencing blogging, using a smartboard and genealogy Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:34:58 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 Comment on What do you tell the students? by Erica Fritsche http://tasteach.edublogs.org/2009/08/12/what-do-you-tell-the-students/comment-page-1/#comment-291 Erica Fritsche Mon, 14 Sep 2009 14:34:58 +0000 http://tasteach.edublogs.org/?p=69#comment-291 Kudos to you for allowing your students to explore the opinions of those outside the school building. So often our children are sheltered from the outside world. I think allowing your students to accept comments from outside readers is a bold step toward allowing students to become more aware of the world around them.

You might be interested to know that another teacher from my school noticed your games site and recommended it to our grade 3/4 team. I am going to put a link on our class blog, (which is only in its infancy). I checked out the games myself, and thought our kids would find it really motivating to compete against others around the world. Great work! So now you have another Australian connection, as we are in the inner city of Melbourne! Cheers, Janette. Hey Richard!

We have just embarked on blogging for teachers and students at my school and we have just finished up the initial training on how to set up a blog. For us at North Fitzroy Primary School its the potential for authenticity that blogging brings to the classroom. Many of my students have just become authors on my class blog and they have been blown away by the comments from people within their immediate community as well as from around the globe. The web is not new technology for our students, its tangible and real. For many teachers this is not the case and linking blogging to an authentic learning experience will enable many to see its value in the classroom. Check out a post from one of my colleagues who's been totally inspired by the blogging experience. http://peterolm.globalteacher.org.au/2009/02/03/student-blogging-a-real-shot-at-authenticity/ Hi Sue, a what a great topic for discussion.

I think the key is you need to focus on the fact you have 1 hour to do your presentation which isn't long once you get started. First thing I would find out would be aspects like how many people will be attending and the layout of the room. I like to find out as much as possible as it influences how I can deliver the presentation. I also like to build in as much interaction and conversation as possible. Which isn't easy and varies on the constraints of the audience. Other key points I focus on are what are the key points/messages I'm trying to get across while delivering the presentation and then I build my presentation around it. I think one of the most powerful messages you can give is your story - why you are doing this with your students and what they are gaining from it. If you can get them to share their story even better. Other aspect I would want to know is what processes do you use to make it happen. Congratulations!
