Digital Pedagogies: Technology and the Australian Curriculum Daniel M Groenewald
This is an updated version of my presentation on Digital Pedagogies and the Australian Curriculum. Many of us have the sense that technology has arrived but something is missing in its execution. The purpose of the presentation is to explore methods for integrating ICT more effectively in curriculum and classroom settings

It is an experimentation whether use of Technology can improve the Mathematics Score or not.
I found an interesting result that it motivated students to learn themselves,to learn beyond book and to learn how to use more and more technology.
In this webinar, Prof Hendrik Drachsler will reflect on the process of applying learning analytics solutions within higher education settings, its implications, and the critical lessons learned in the Trusted Learning Research Program. The talk will focus on the experience of edutec.science research collective consisting of researchers from the Netherlands and Germany that contribute to the Trusted Learning Analytics (TLA) research program. The TLA program aims to provide actionable and supportive feedback to students and stands in the tradition of human-centered learning analytics concepts. Thus, the TLA program aims to contribute to unfolding the full potential of each learner. It, therefore, applies sensor technology to support psychomotor as well as web technology to support meta-cognitive and collaborative learning skills with high-informative feedback methods. Prof. Drachsler applies validated measurement instruments from the field of psychometric and investigates to what extent Learning Analytics interventions can reproduce the findings of these instruments. During this webinar, Prof Drachsler will discuss the lessons learned from implementing TLA systems. He will touch on TLA prerequisites like ethics, privacy, and data protection, as well as high informative feedback for psychomotor, collaborative, and meta-cognitive competencies and the ongoing research towards a repository, methods, tools and skills that facilitate the uptake of TLA in Germany and the Netherlands.
Curriculum Design: leading learning in ICT lecture 11Miles Berry

At present ICT is a National Curriculum foundation subject in primary schools, although its programme of study and attainment target have now been ‘disapplied’. The Secretary of State has committed to reintroduce a programme of study for all four key stages for September 2014. For now, schools are free to decide what is taught and how it is assessed, reflecting the curricular autonomy enjoyed by academies, free schools and the independent sector.
As an ICT coordinator you should expect to give a firm steer to the development of ICT within and across your school’s curriculum, providing both the freedom and responsibility to provide your school’s pupils with the best possible technological education. You’re likely to take responsibility for crafting the school’s scheme of work for ICT, taking account of whatever statutory requirements are in place for your school at the time.
We look at ICT’s place within the present National Curriculum and some alternative approaches. We consider alternative approaches to the delivery of ICT. We explore common characteristics of both an ICT curriculum and a scheme of work for ICT and approaches that might be followed in creating one.

Presentation by Bette Gray, Director School Technology Sector, and Edna Dach, Education Manager, at the CASS Zone 4/5 Summer Conference on August 11, 2011
Talk about serious games and game-like simulations design given at the Laboratory of Computer Science of the Massachusetts General Hospital (Boston, USA).
The Educational Game development approach used for developping different games in the medical domain is presented.
This is exemplified with the first-aid game, the educ@ONT project with the National Transplant Organization in Spain (ONT) and the Surgical Checklist game.
Some final ideas about Learning Analytics and how this can be used for evaluation and for integrating heterogeneus information in a Learning Record Store are presented.
AI in Education must be an opportunity for allMarco Neves
Living tremendous and very challenging days impacted by the Digital Transformation mainly supported by Artificial Intelligence is important that all students learn about AI.

NSF IUSE Ideas Lab In Engineering: Provoking Action!boralogix

Webinar: Making the Case for Early STEM Learning- 2016-11-02TechSoup
Explore how to make a stronger case for early STEM experiences. A FrameWorks research into American public thinking revealed that people assume that science, technology, engineering, and math are highly specialized areas of knowledge that aren’t appropriate for young learners. In turn, this limits public support for the policies, funding, and programs that can foster early learning in these vital areas. We'll discuss and explore proven, practical ways for early childhood advocates to talk about why and how early STEM matters.

Imagine if we could nurture
every child’s inquisitive nature
about our world into a passionate
curiosity about science.
We could inspire
a generation of young minds
to pursue the answers that
will change the world.

Jobs in science, technology, engineering and
math (STEM) are increasing by 3.3 % annually
with 8.6 million jobs projected in 2018.
Yet schools are failing to keep
students interested in science
and math.
Future staffing of STEM jobs is at risk in
virtually every country simply because there
will not be enough qualified employees.

The Call-to-Action
“One of an all-hands-on-deck approach to science, technology, engineering,
and math… We need to make this a priority to train an army of new teachers
in these subject areas, and to make sure that all of us as a country are lifting
up these subjects for the respect that they deserve.”
President Barack Obama Third Annual White House Science Fair, April 2013

The Gap
by Fourier Education
Traditional lectures are failing
students in STEM discipline.
Active learning increases student
performance in science, engineering,
and mathematics.*
STEM is in a global crisis.
The best and the brightest students
are opting out of STEM subjects at
alarming rates all over the world. **

Opportunity
Market Needs:
• An integrated multi-function tool matched
for age-appropriate audience.
This is especially true for science learning in younger
grades – K-6
• To provide assistance and tools to under-
qualified teachers in the science classroom.
• To provide a platform that will allow
content and technology to integrate
and match

Note:
There is no single dominant brand.
Emerging markets are focusing on
education, STEM education and the

Mission
einstein™World empowers teachers and inspires students (K-12)
by providing an engaging science learning experience that unifies
sensor-based experiments, interactive multimedia activities and
user-friendly analysis applications on any tablet or computer.
Research shows the earlier you expose children to
science, technology, engineering and math (STEM),
the more likely they are to succeed in STEM
If we can get these tools into the
hands of teachers and students,
we can change the equation
and help them explore and
begin to ask the questions
to find their inner scientist.
