- 64. I am stillreally excited that some of my kids are using this platform to ask me questions but even more excited that they are asking EACH OTHER pertinent questions about our work. I'm a convert!!!! Thanks, Bianca for setting this up. Yeah Bianca, it rocks my world to. Thanks for modelling it for us all!Teacher Responses to Edmodo
- 65. Teacher Responses toEdmodoBianca, do you know what one of my Year 10s said to me today? I showed them a PowerPoint on dating and we were drilling things. Then she said: "Is this up on Edmodo?" "Oh," I replied. "That's a good idea. Do you want me to put it there?" "She said: "I hate it when teachers don't put it on Edmodo, so we can access it to revise. In English they always put things up there for us...." You are revolutionising us. Just think where we were this time last year.......
- 66. Teacher Responses toEdmodoThe best thing about edmodo I found is for the seniors helping each other and being able to support them and them support each other particularly when assessments are due.It is a great way to engage all the learning styles and introverts into your lesson. Also a great way to extend students with stimulating extra stuff to support or extend their class work. I love it and it is so fast- no photocopying!

- 68. I have enjoyedusing my Netbook at school. It has instant information on the internet and lots of good programs.The positives of having a Netbook for school are: you don’t need to carry any books, all my work can be filed in folders, I can’t lose any worksheets as long as I save them and instant information on the internet.Genuine Student Feedback
- 69. Genuine Student FeedbackIthink it is good to have a Netbook for school. We can find out over the internet when our assignments are due and hand them in over the internet too.

- 75. http://ictpd.net/2008/08/things-that-make-a-difference/‘Constructivism, in anutshell, says that if you create the right learning environment then students will build (or construct) knowledge and learning for themselves. Constructivism takes the focus off “teaching” and places it on “learning”. It sometimes means teachers have to take their hands off the controls, let go a little, and realise that the best kind of learning happens when students work things out for themselves and not always when they get “taught”. You may have heard the phrase:“I taught them, but they just didn’t learn!”
- 76. What about eGATs?Extensionand assessment activities can include ICT based activities including:Film making, visual presentations including PowerPoint, vod and podcasts, recording of audio, designs of websites, advertisements, posters, DVD/Book/CD covers and publication of extended writing tasks using ICT.By being active users of technology we aim to build rapport and enhance student/teacher engagement.
- 77. English Faculty ICTStatement The English faculty of Lisarow High School values the role of ICT as another tool of learning and teaching. These statements live within the framework of Stage Four and Five English. From 2010, year 9 and 10 students will have access to DER laptops, however, these statements also highlight the need to prepare teachers and students of years 7 and 8, as years 9, 10, 11, 12 will all have DER laptops by 2012. We embrace the ability of ICT as a means of enhancing student communication and the composition of original pieces of creative and factual writing. Within every unit of work, students and teachers can enhance their learning by employing various means of delivery.
