Fostering Critical and Creative Thinking Literacy Skills using iPads in Prima...Joanne Villis
This slide share is a copy of a presentation which I am presenting at the Oz Tech 2014 Conference at Firbank Grammar School during September. I have provided iPad apps to use with Primary school students in order to foster critical and creative literacy skills.
EdTech SA 2017 Presentation Joanne VillisJoanne Villis
Abstract: With a current emphasis on coding in the media, other components of the Australian
Digital Technologies Curriculum often get pushed aside. This session will explore practical ideas for
teaching the following concepts: Data (representing, managing & analysing), Digital systems
(understanding & using), Algorithms (coding), Information systems (how and why people use them)
and Safe and ethical use of the online environment. Practical ideas will be provided for each concept
across Reception to Year 6. I believe that viewing resources across a range of year levels provides
teachers with a more holistic understanding of the Digital Technologies Curriculum.
How to teach digital technologies in the Primary yearsJoanne Villis
This presentation was based on a scope and sequence I created for Reception to Year 6 teachers in order to teach the Australian Digital Technologies curriculum.

Social Media: Teaching ideas for Primary EducationJoanne Villis
The legal age for students to use many social media sites is 13 however many media sites are targeted at and being accessed by our primary students. So what should we do about it? Ban social media or educate? I believe that we need to educate students how to use social media safely and appropriately before they are even old enough to use it. These are my teaching ideas. Many of the ideas are videos. Why? Our students are living in a media rich environment, why not embrace their media culture?
Ideas for teaching Primary Drama at Christmas timeJoanne Villis

Coding is part of the curriculum which is relatively new and often a part which teachers struggle with. I have created a presentation to show resources which you might use to teach Year 5-6 students. Tasks can be adapted or modified for other year levels.
Using Apps to animate superhero storiesJoanne Villis
This slideshare provides a series of lessons on how I used 2 iPad apps (Art Maker and Explain Everything) in order for students to create their own animated story. The theme which I used was superheroes and villains but you can apply the same techniques to any topic. Students were able to create their own characters and use them within the Explain Everything app in order to create a movie. For more resources visit:

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2014 Ideas for using technology when teaching Religion in school J Villis
1. Examples of how to integrate ICT in teaching
Catholic Religion
I created this slide share for my CPF3 assessment for 2014. After designing Digital
Prayer Weebly with Jacinta, I attended a workshop with a focus of integrating digital
technologies in the teaching of Catholic Religion. I acknowledge the integration of some
new resources which were provided by the presenters.
This slide share has been designed to share practical examples of how I use various
technology based tools in my teaching of Religion.

2. The video link on the next page is a great introduction for teachers who are contemplating
the introduction of new technology. Humour is intended, don’t expect to know everything
and take small steps towards integrating technologies in your teaching. This link was
provided on the day.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFAWR6hzZek
3. 1. Using a camera
a) ePortfolio: This idea is very straight forward. You can use a camera whether from an
iPhone, iPad, tablet, digital camera etc. to capture students’ work. Images can then be
used for student’s digital portfolios. I take images of student’s prayer and art work.
4. b) To print off for Religion books: I often take photos of students’ acting/role playing
scripture or group work and then print photos for students to glue into their book. This
then provides a visual for students if they are required to write a reflection about the
task.
c) Students take their own images: For example, you might ask students to capture
images of God’s love or creation. You will be amazed of the world through the lens of a
child.
5. d) Use the images and add annotations: This can be achieved using a range of
methods. Below are some suggestions:
- Insert an image into PowerPoint or Microsoft Word and students then use tools
within the program to edit.
- Use an app if you have tablets or iPads. I like to use EduCreations because it is free
and simple to use.
d) Edit the image: I like to get students to take a photo and then use an editing
tool to enhance the image or change the image in order to more deeply reflect
the message they are trying to portray. Be Funky is my favourite tool for this and
it is available online and for iPad or Android.
6. f) To tell a story or reflection:
- Use Photo Story 3 on a PC. Photo Story 3 is free to download and allows users to
add images, text and music.
- Use an app: Below are some suggestions.
PhotoStory for iPad
is free.
Little Story Maker
for iPad is free
7. 2. Create comic strips: Various forms of technology can be used in order
for students to create a comic to retell a scripture story, to tell the elements of
mass, to write a prayer or a reflection.
- 2Publish Software: I use this software at school. It does cost money however I
highly recommend it for Reception to Year 3 students.
8. - Below are two app suggestions:
PhotoComic
for iPad
$0.99, this is
my favourite
Comic Strip It
for
Android, whi
ch is free
Above image source
9. 3. Record Audio: You can use a range of different technologies to record students
talking. For example, you could get students to interview each other on various topics
(i.e. What is justice? Where can you see justice? What are your hopes for justice
throughout the world?), or record your school choir singing hymns. Below are some
different resources that you might like to explore:
- Audacity: Audacity is a free PC download. You will also need to download Lame. There
are many ‘How to use Audacity’ tutorials on YouTube.
10. - Sound Recorder on your PC: To access your record function on your PC go to all
programs, accessories and then select Sound Recorder.
- Below are some app suggestions:
Spreaker DJ is
Free for iPad
Storyrobe for iPad
costs $0.99
11. 4. Create a digital book: There are endless possibilities for story book
application for teaching religion. For example, they can be used for e
Portfolios, prayers, retelling scripture or my Lenten Journey . There are many
different forms of technologies available to achieve this, below I have listed a few.
- Story Bird is a free online Web 2.0 tool. This is great for Primary Students.
- Inklewriter is also a free online Web 2.0 tool. However, I recommend this for
Secondary Students. Stories can be explored to Kindle.
12. 5. Create a video: Again, there are many resources. Below are a few example:
- The record function on your device: Recording a video doesn’t have to be time
consuming, simply use the video recording function on a device. Example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Ve3cz13h4 .When I do this using my iPad I
then like to capture an image of the video for students to glue into their books. To
capture an image from a video on an iPad simply hold down the on/off button and
the home button at the same time.
- Movie Maker: This has been a favourite of many teachers for years. It is suitable
for students in Year 4 and above.
- Animoto: Animoto is a free Web 2.0 tool and is also available as an app. I have
uploaded a video example on the the next page.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n
xt5j1AeZjY
13. - Use an app : Video Star was suggested on the day. I like this app. Here is a link to a
guide on using the app.
- Lego Movie Maker app: Use this free app which allows you to create a stop
animation style move. There are also several Lego style videos already made on
YouTube that you can use. I use the video on the following page during my
reconciliation unit. Please note, I did not make this movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=x_xBYzdGH_s
14. 5. Brainstorming/Sharing thoughts: Using an electronic version of a
‘sticky note wall’, allows students to add, read and build upon their understanding for
various topics/themes.
- Use Padlet: Padlet is a free Web 2.0 tool. It is basically a ‘sticky note canvas’ which you
can share with your students.
