as we go think:.....Which themes are being foregrounded in this activity?

Year 1 activity:
Where is the maths in this room? Our world is literally shaped by maths. Create/capture an
example of shape in this room.

[engagement, personal involvement, collaborative, choice..]

VISUALISE


9.30

Visualise data as a way to build collaboration > arrange by SIZE of inquiry
1. Arrange yourself in the room by inquiry > personal, small group students, whole class,
syndicate, whole school, cluster, country, continent OR by conﬁdence
2. Share your stories around the room....buddy up.....

“My students mainly draft
writing and then we type it
up neatly, or make posters
for the wall. To be honest,
the work is the same
as it has always been
- I’m not sure what the
possibilities are.”

e.g. How can technologies be used to engage my X students in the development stages of writing? > focus on a speciﬁc group
e.g. How can I use technologies to support the way we engage with a writing topic, not just production stages?

“In deep expressions of
practice, students' learning
activities and the curriculum/
knowledge content they
engage with are
shaped in ways that
reflect the input and
interests of
students,
as well as what teachers
know to be important
knowledge.”

Test. Trial. Question.
Inquire.
• What do your students need? What matters
most to them, given what you know?
• How can you combine literacy, pedagogy and
technology in ONE small trial? Frame this as a
deep question.
• What will you need to know before you trial?
• What will you look for?
• What happened? What questions do you now
have?
• Next steps?

What are her key messages?
How might you apply her advice your own inquiry?

Purposeful

1. How can I teach writing better
using digital technologies?
2. What’s happening in other schools
with e-learning?
3. How can I use a collaborative
writing tool to engage those
identiﬁed students who need
support at the drafting stage?


Which question is most helpful and why?
- identify the student outcomes
- identify student need
- identify what they need to do to help students achieve those outcomes
-based on belief
- connect your learning to students’ learning
- focused on the evidence needed for capture

How:
- work together, critically

Focus

..and how has this session helped you sail on your journey today? What is your ‘boat’?
Where are the sharks?
