BYOD in the Classroom

At the BYOD day in the holidays I had the pleasure of presenting with my colleague Jessicca Vidal on BYOD in the Classroom.

During the session we shared the organisation of our classrooms and where the design for our classrooms comes from.  We then shared how to support students with BYOD, why we choose particular tools and how to get underway with BYOD in the classroom.  During the final part of our presentation we shared some examples of different tools we use to support learning.

BYOD 2014 - Making it Mobile

Thursday 1st May sees the second BYOD conference happening in Auckland; BYOD 2104 - Making it Mobile.  The conference is run by Learning Network and is a great opportunity to take part in a range of PD around bring your own devices (BYOD).

I have the opportunity to present at the very first conference last year at Albany Senior High, where I ran 2 sessions.  A session on Evernote and another on Self Management and BYOD.  The day was packed with loads of people attending and a great selection of presenters.

BYOD 2014 is no different from last year, with a huge assortment of amazing presenters sharing their knowledge with you.  A hugely inspirational line up that includes some of my favourite twitterers and bloggers: Helen King, Allanah King, Dorothy Burt, Fiona Grant, Barbara Reid, JJ Purton Jones, Stephen Lethbridge,  Luke Sumich, and more.  There is a huge selection of strands that suit everyone from the classroom teacher through to principals.  Summerland Primary also has 3 other presenters which are worth a looksie - Innes Nisbet is our music specialist, Janet Shepherd is our art specialist and Luke Sumich our principal are all presenting as well.

This year I am presenting with my colleague Jessicca Vidal, who I presented with at uLearn 2013.  An amazing year 3/4 classroom teacher who has a lot of amazing teaching and learning happening with her students.  We will be presenting about how we utilise BYOD in our classrooms and some of the tools we are using to help students understand the tools that they have available to them and to become more self-managing with their devices.

Blogging: Basics & Beyond

The other presentation given as part of the ERA3 Conference in Brisbane. I had previously given a similar one at an Auckland conference but updated links, some of the slides and developed the content a bit further. The main focus of this presentation was aimed at people beginning blogging and to share some of the things that you need to think about prior to or when beginning a blog. It covers a range of topics from examples, content creation through to cybersafety and more.

All links in the presentation are available from here.

ULearn '09 - Breakout 7: Visual Language

Breakout 7 (or the graveyard shift) was my Visual Language workshop. During this workshop we covered a large range of ideas. From basic digital photography skills, elements and angles. Through to Creative Commons, practical websites for classroom use and ideas to help the 1 camera classroom work.

The largest part of this presentation shared some ways visual language can be developed/integrated in the classroom and used as part of an effective oral and/or written language programme. The major focus looked at the use of digital photography - both student and web based images. But also shared forward steps with looking at silent animations such as Kiwi or Carried Away.

It was great to see the people involved sharing their ideas and participating in the group/peer activities to share their thoughts - we had some enthusiastic people! We also had a few people who shared things that had worked well for them in the class - this was great for a collaborative feel to the breakout!

ULearn 09 - Breakout 6a: Digikids

This breakout - Digikids, looked at the concept of having a group of keen kids take part once a week in a collaborative way - to learn new tips, tricks and tools that they can take back to their class, teachers and families!

I looked at the initial set up in 2008 through to this year. The changes that have been made, the positives and the negatives. Things that have worked and things that haven't!

Haututu With HeyMilly

This is the workshop I ran for the ECE Hui last Saturday. There is a post to come on this amazing event that I was lucky to take part in.

The workshop I ran was aimed at more experienced users and was a play or haututu session to have some fun and learn some new tools. I definetly overplanned this session but this was good as the participants got a taster of some new tools and how they could be used with kids and professionally. Many were keen to head home and continue playing.

Haututu with Hey Milly!
