- 16. Let’s take this idea to our next PLT! Well girls I have been thinking I wholeheartedly agree of our next steps for our PLT particularly to ensure that Yeah Gail, I think our focus for Term 3 and I've what is being designed and staff are ready to been noticing that there have planned is an engaging assess the resources been some fabulous spaces sequence. Let's plan out a created in the Ultranet to we already use and include some current proposed framework for support curriculum delivery! Space investigation and find tools to best support the learning intention out what's available and of a learning explore which resources can sequence! support what is working well! We also need to keep in mind what devices our students have access to when considering the content in these spaces!
- 17. So staff will need to know what’s I can’t wait to investigate them! good about ‘em! Let’s create a I’ve also found a series from framework to quickly guide what South Gippsland focussing on elements support our curriculum writing Genre and special Themes. planning and strengthen teaching and learning. We must also include our very own Hume Region My mate, Gerry, Literacy Space as it mentioned that supports our core work so there is a superb we need all our Team to i-Learn understand the wealth of series covering resources there. Themes, Subject Domains such as Literacy or specialty areas from P to 12.
- 18. The Team will need time between Will I suggest that this PLT and the next to investigate each staff member a Space and then share their is allocated a findings and recommendations. This Space? can be the ‘away task’ and setting up for the next PLT! Let’s try the observation template with one of the Spaces to see how effective it is in gathering the required information! This protocol template is starting to resonate with me! It will really guide our members to use their planning time efficiently in evaluating a Space. It will be a great record to collect the resource information to help inform the Team to plan our Literacy curriculum!

Editor's Notes
- NB/ MAKE SURE Open Office is OPEN prior to uploading ppt to Blackboard Collaborate Welcome everyone. I hope you’ve had an opportunity to grab a headset as it’s a great way to participate and also eliminates any feedback. Feel free to try out any tools and use the virtual whiteboard as we deliver the session. The session is supervised. All chat messages, including private messages are seen by all Moderators. The session is being recorded and will be published online in the iMasterclass Design Space - 139211104 . If you are sharing any resources please be mindful to avoid breaching school or student privacy policies or protocols.
- The purpose of these sessions is to build an online community via these Blackboard Collaborate sessions and our Ultranet Design Space – iMasterclass. The Focus is on an effective PLT approach across a school using the 4A Planning Model as seen through our Comic Life cartoon PLT conversations that you’ll view later in this session.
- ******Learning Intention and Success Criteria – Hattie “Visible Learning For Teachers maximising impact on learning” The 2 episodes on Exemplar Literacy Ultranet Spaces – Pt 1 & Pt 2 will reveal our strong commitment as eLearning officers to support ongoing improvement in the Literacy outcomes of all our students via online and offline digital content resources. Our focussed resources are found in some excellent pedagogically sound Ultranet Spaces created by some of our DEECD colleagues. ******https://ultranet.vic.edu.au/portal/web/support/module-5:- Student Collaboration and Learning Collaborative Learning is a place for student collaboration and learning. Web 2.0 applications can be accessed in the Collaborative Learning space supporting teachers to create opportunities which extend learning beyond the classroom. It enables students, their peers and their teachers to connect, communicate, collaborate and co-create new knowledge. *******https://ultranet.vic.edu.au/portal/web/support/4.5-what-could-design-spaces-be-used-for:- Participation and collaboration are critical ingredients in online professional learning. Being a member of a Design space does require a level of participation. This participation in an online community is demonstrated not only through the interactivity of sharing of knowledge through information exchange and professional discussion, but also through less obvious interaction like searching for content and adding to a common resource repository. Collegial collaboration is more than the sharing of resources. Collaborative learning requires a different perspective on learning theories, pedagogy and how knowledge is transferred.
- Use the tools on the toolbar of the whiteboard – pencil, Text, Shape to indicate where you are located. This session is the 1 st in a series of 8 sessions beginning with 2 sessions on Exemplar Literacy Ultranet Spaces, followed by 2 sessions on Exemplar Numeracy Spaces, 2 sessions on Curriculum Planning enriched by eBookboxes and finally 2 sessions on eBookboxes and LearningTasks.
- Text Tool - Share on the whiteboard What resources are you providing for your students in your planning? Are you using online resources to inform your curriculum planning and teaching of the content?

This phase involves interpreting the Victorian Essential Learning Standards and post-compulsory education and training to create a curriculum plan that has a clear focus on what is to be learnt, how learning will occur and how it will be assessed at a whole school level . Consideration is given to organisational structures and resourcing that account for student divers ity. What and How do I want my students to learn? The Ultranet supports teachers to implement a continuous cycle of curriculum planning and delivery. Teachers can readily collaborate within and across schools and share their curriculum planning Literacy data which is used to plan and deliver a more differentiated curriculum, informed by individual learning needs. Teachers can leverage their current literacy pr actices and utilise Web 2.0 tools for improved collaboration and communication . Teachers can facilitate collaborative learning using web 2.0 tools. Using the Content Teachers can search the Ultranet for digital learning resources to support the planned literacy activities
- ********http://www.eduweb.vic.gov.au/edulibrary/public/teachlearn/student/vlns/ultralitnum.pdf Effective Planning encompasses the questions:- What do you know about your students? What data will best inform curriculum planning? Why? – What do the students know? What do you want the students to learn? What? – What is essential for students to learn VELs?

A template encompassing resources that are available that could be used at planning time prepared by DEECD Central Office in one of the eduSTAR programs, Visio, is available In Visio you can edit the document and then, if wanted, you can save it as a pdf or jpeg. What are the best tools to support my learning intention? How do I design and plan an engaging learning sequence?

What challenges need to be created to support learning? What are the most effective strategies to support learning? How will opportunities for assessment be explicitly incorporated? How will students be supported to monitor their learning? What access to devices do the students have to support their learning? (1 to 1)
- **********https://ultranet.vic.edu.au/portal/web/support/5.1-how-does-collaborative-learning-support-students-learning-together:- How does Collaborative Learning support students learning together? Collaborative Learning supports success in students learning collaboratively through the provision of access to quality digital content and Web 2.0 applications that enable collaboration in a safe and secure environment that is available anywhere, anytime . Any space that students are members of requires a Moderator. For spaces that you create and own, you are automatically the Moderator of that space. For spaces that students create, they must request a teacher to be a Moderator. The space will not be active until a teacher has accepted the Moderator role . Teachers and students are able to create and/or join spaces created by others. What strategies will you put in place for using Exemplar Literacy Ultranet Spaces to support your students with online learning? Collaboration is a social process that supports learners to collectively deepen their knowledge, understanding and skills . Collaborative Learning is about students connecting for a common purpose - to search for understanding, meaning or solutions, or to create a product to demonstrate or apply their learning. Research supports positive outcomes for student learning through collaboration as listed below: Students are capable of performing at higher intellectual levels when asked to work in collaborative situations than when asked to work individually (Vygotsky, 1978, cited in Bruner, 1985). Group diversity in terms of knowledge and experience contributes positively to the learning process (Vygotsky, 1978, cited in Bruner, 1985). Cooperative teams achieve at higher levels of thought and retain information longer than students who work quietly as individuals (Johnson and Johnson, 1986) Shared learning gives students opportunities to engage in discussion, take responsibility for their own learning, and thus become critical thinkers (Totten, Sills, Digby and Russ, 1991). Cooperative learning methods improve problem-solving strategies because the students are confronted with different interpretations of the given situation (Bruner, 1985) The changing role of the teacher - Success in collaborative learning relies on successful and sustained interactions between the community of learners and a teacher role shifting from a director of learning towards a collaborative, guiding, facilitating model. This has implications for how learning activities are planned, managed and realised with the focus more on process over product . Many of the skills presented in the diagram below are skills teachers use to manage face to face teaching. In an online learning environment, these skills are highlighted and can be developed through consideration of the e5 capabilities.

- If you are from a school in the Hume Region and would like support from our eLearning Team to assist the planning of a PLT or further follow up with Literacy resources to support your curriculum planning in your school for all of your teachers and consequently your students, then please contact either Libby, Brendan or myself, Gail, and we will schedule some follow up visits in Term 3. Next Week we would like to focus our episode on Exemplar Literacy Ultranet Space, Part 2 which will be a follow on from today’s episode. Next week will focus on: What key elements from Literacy Spaces in the Ultranet would we include in our curriculum planning? How can we incorporate these key elements into our everyday classrooms? The session will show how a PLT can work together effectively to share the key elements of Literacy Spaces in the Ultranet and decide on how they can be used in the classroom to support teaching and learning.
