1. Foundation Phase teachers around the world are increasingly using technology like Skype, blogs, and Twitter in their classrooms to connect students to other classrooms and experts. This allows for collaborative learning experiences.
2. Kindergarten and Grade 1 teachers discussed using tools like blogs and Twitter to get young students writing and learning about the world. Grade 2 teachers explored using research and digital storytelling.
3. The conclusion is that technology, when used effectively, allows students to learn in new ways and share their work more broadly. It should enhance traditional teaching instead of replacing it. Teachers are encouraged to try new tech tools and share ideas both locally and globally.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

24. Grade R Gleanings…
From Matt Gomez…
• Get the class writing short sentences on the
class Twitter account
• Learn about the world in real-life terms with
classes across the globe
• A blog can hold everything together for a
teacher
• Participate in a Twitterchat called #kinderchat
to learn more from others
37. Before the advent of the Internet, classrooms were forced to be isolated learning
hives. Now, those hives can all be interconnected as classrooms can easily link with
other classrooms and experts to ask questions, compare experience and learn together.
Tools suchas Skype, Twitter and blogs make connecting and collaborating with classrooms
from anywhere a possibility.

• Technology should not just allow us to do
traditional in a different way; it should allow
us to do things that we thought were not
possible.
• e.g. Drawing a picture. With technology you can
publish it, animate it, share it etc
• When you write news or do some research – to
take it further integrate it as an ebook
• By sharing their artifacts digitally, students
invite the involvement and support of their
parent, grandparents, and anyone who sees
their work.
49. • What technology is NOT – keeping
students occupied, used for the sake of
it
• Why not try some of these ideas for
yourself and share your ideas with
colleagues – not only in your own school
but on a wider scale.
Editor's Notes
This is definitey the age of professional development in your pajamas. The Internet is totally amazing in my opinion – one of the greatest inventions ever made – and we can have facts at our fingertips. W can learn so much in the privacy of our own homes – more than ever before.
Our most recent chat was on the topic of Do new technologies in the classroom change pupil behaviour?"
Flatten classroom walls and link with classes all over the world. Karen’s rhino project, flat rosy project
And of course, there is a move away from having a computer teacher in a school but rather having a technology integration facilitator who helps the teachers introduce technology into their own classrooms and there are quite a few schools around the country who are doing this.
I originally planned to make this talk only for Kindgergrten teachers but when natalie told me Foundation Phase teachers in general had booked I decided to just start in Kindergarten. Why did I want to start in Kindergarten? Most of the revolutionary changes have been around for a while in kindergarten. Now is the burning questions. Is technolgoy essential for good teaching? Or does it simply good teaching better. make f
