WALT incorporate Elearning into our classrooms

equipment We can organise our routines and planning to

include activities using the equipment We can teach our students how to use tools for

learning We can find activities that are meaningful for

subjects

Before we begin…

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

ORGANISING OUR CLASSROOM

What are our options? What can help us to stay sane?

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

Option 1 Option 2

Computers: Setting up a pod

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

OPTION 1Using computers like this allows children to work together at separate computers.

You can have two children per computer. One can be the driver, one can be the navigator.

The driver works the keyboard and mouse.

The navigator tells them where to click and what to type.

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

OPTION 2More than one child can use the computer- a whole group can stand around a computer

Inquiry

Watching videos

Publishing together

STAYING SAFE

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

My LGP/ Netsafe / Hector’s World

If it’s not comfortable, get help

Never give your full name

Never give your location

Never name a photograph unless you can protect the post

WIKIS AND BLOGS

Using a blog or a wiki: Make one and use it yourself first

Use the online tutorial

Use what other people around you use, if possible

BLOGGER

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

WORDPRESS.COM

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

All of these websites have tutorialsLook for links and use what suits you best

If someone at your school is good at Wikis, use them to help you

If they have a blog, use the blog platform

Use it yourself first to set it up and gain confidence

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com

YOU DON’T NEED A BLOG

Set up a bookmark on the internet

Choose a program

vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
