30. The 21st century is customizable. In ten years, the
teacher who hasn’t yet figured out how to use
technology to personalize learning will be the teacher
out of a job. Differentiation won’t make you
‘distinguished’; it’ll just be a natural part of your work.

31. e-learning Educator
to raise the profile of e-learning through
the college and in all domains
to help develop teaching and learning
pedagogy that incorporates e-learning
to assist in embedding and mapping
e-learning into the curriculum
to raise staff capacity in the use of
applications and devices in order to
improve student learning outcomes
my role in 2012.... eLearning

32. 2012 the year of technological & e-learning transition
the beginning of a roll-out of an opt in 1:1 program supplemented by
an increase in available netbooks across the school...
a move which has been thrust upon us by Kevin Rudd’s promise that
every year 9-12 student have 24-7 access to a laptop...
any one class, that you teach, may have students who ‘BYOD’
their
own iPad, android tablet, netbook, laptop or ultrabook, students who
have a government netbook or students who have opted to not have
a digital device in the classroom...
greater access to existing desktop computer labs because of the
increase of students having their own devices...
where we are at... eLearning

33. 2 ways to look at it...

34. e-learning team
one person from each domain
experiments with a range of e-learning tools
shares success stories
acts as a liaison and spokesperson for e-learning in
their domain
contributes to e-learning blog

35. e-learning blog
a website setup with resources and stories of e-
learning success categorised by subject area
a specific section for troubleshooting and questions
built by the e-learning team, representative of all
domains
the e-learning plan in 2012 eLearning

36. e-learning embedded into curriculum
each subject curriculum document to have a
ranked list of e-learning activities for each subject
this list is revised and updated each year by the
subject teachers

37. e-learning videos & PD
every 2 weeks a 5 min ‘how-to’ video
once a term PD bringing together the best ideas that
the e-learning team has found
fortnightly news updates sent around via eworkspace

38. e-learning help mornings
8am to 9am every Wednesday in B3P
Bring all your questions or hopes and we can try
work out a solution together

41. simplify and streamline
your workload

42. enhance staff
communication

43. facilitate
collaborative learning
that is instantly engaging

44. kill the USB drive
and every other ‘dog ate my
homework’ excuse

45. anywhere, anytime
access on any device

47. Pedagogical Shift
The implementation of a BYOD system means that we need to adopt
a student-centred model of teaching and learning
With different devices students will not have uniform access to
applications and ways of accessing the curriculum
Teachers will need to empower students to select different ways to
engage the curriculum and produce work that fits their situation
Positive: increases student agency and ownership and should improve
student engagement and motivation
Negative: things will be a little bit messy as teachers and students get
used to the shift in teaching and learning design
what this means... eLearning

48. Some Ideas...
- it is the teacher, not technology, that has the biggest impact upon
teaching and learning
- technology is merely another tool, that if used well, enhances
education outcomes
- start small and slow, allow space for learning and getting students on
board with learning something new
- try to be excited about experimenting and sharing your stories, even
if they don’t go so well!
- if you are thinking technology will not do ‘this’ or ‘that’, it probably
will, so ask around and do some online investigating
some points to consider... eLearning

49. love to hear from you...
