Transcript of ANZLTC14: K12 - iTunes U: A Sharing and Learning Opportunity in Science and Engineering - St Hildas...
iTunes U , a sharing and learning opportunity in Science and Engineering at St. Hilda’s.
Is there such a thing as a FREE lunch?
There is today!!!
But first some history...
1994 - 1998 England UK
• School Seaford Head Community College. • Teacher of Science and Senior Biology • Taught adult education in Human Health and
Physiology. • Introduction of computers.
Welcome to the new age of technology!!!
1998 - 2000 Cayman Islands
• School George High School, George Town. • Teacher of Science for years 6-8 • Production of class booklets to match units
taught. • These were later adapted to help students
with specific learning needs.
2000 - 2010 New Zealand
• Head of Science & TIC of Senior Physics. • Assistant Principal. • Production of PowerPoint presentations to
deliver full Physics program. • Produced interactive Physics site using
Moodle

GRAVITY
2010 - Present Australia
• Teacher of Science and Senior Physics • Production of PowerPoint presentations to
deliver full Science and Physics program. • Development of course booklets into
electronic versions that linked to PowerPoints.

• Introduction to Blackboard as a platform for the loading and distribution of course information.
• Developed assessment tools in Blackboard for student self-monitoring.
• A long came iTunesU.
• iTunesU was introduced by Peter Crawley and Geoff Powell.
• The introducing of St Hildas Institute
• Overall approach is giving information freely to the world via iTunesU.

How did this begin?
• Previous PowerPoint designed to help students while away on camp.

• Geoff mentioned this powerpoint could be made into a course.

• Within 2 days went to number 1 in the world.
So what does a course look like?Logical flow of material as if in the classroom as a review as what is taught.
Video of Sesame Street
Displacement Reaction
Video practicals These have narration showing what is going on useful for those students who have missed the practical. Lack of materials or lab access need not be a problem. Collection set for Physics, Earth Science and Chemistry.
Link here to the Physics
Collection and run through what
is in it.
Currently most courses have an iBook textbook
Link here to the iBook and run
through what is in it.
iBook Pop Quiz
Link here to the iBook Pop Quiz and run through
what is in it.
You Tube video or other links to other courses can be uploaded. Meaning students have access to review information that can't be looked at in class.
Does it work?Year 8 Chemistry test info showed an increase in results by a whole grade from 2012 - 2013.

Exp 2 = Convection Exp 4 = Current in series Exp 6 = Voltage in food
So what does this mean for you?• Download and use anything that has been
produced. • Don't be worried as each course has been
linked to the Australian Curriculum as best we can.
• Use all or some of what is available. • Save time to be innovative. • Make your own course and add your
knowledge. • All though science & technology have been
discussed here look what's available.
WHAT WILL BE YOUR VERSE?
Share Ability !
Simplicity !
Rewards
Consolidation and
Reinforcement
In your own time
ITALY Dear Professor, I'm an italian teacher and I have really appreciated your beau:ful video learning lessons downloaded from iTunes U. Par:cularly, I've seen lessons of Civil engineering introduced by Professor Brandt Ward, where he has used an excellent popup camera window always in the foreground of his slides. So I've only an informa:on: which is the soFware used to obtain the popup camera window? Compliments again for the lessons. Thank you for your feedback.

SPAIN !
Dear Prof. Ward,My name is Ruben Mojica and I look forward to learning from your class. I am really excited about this subject as I hope it will strengthen concepts in design, and building custom motorcycles.
