AIS 2010 presentation
My school is called Northern Beaches Christian School and the research arm of our school is called the Sydney Centre for Innovation in Learning.
This is a recorded version of the session.
Think about:
Space
Ben Bridges’ class blog for Year 8 Maths @MrBBridges
Global classroom - increase student engagement through broadcast.
Teacher learning – Professional Learning Network
Epic fale
What are some of the fails with technology that you’ve had that you everyone else could learn from?
Whether technology is used or not, if student learning does not occur then it is a fail.
Unlearn
What do we need to unlearn regarding our expectations of technology and learning. Is this relevant to the discussion?

TED talk from Dan Meyer – project based learning/ understanding maths concepts and developing problem solving skills. This is the most challenging talk I’ve heard in a long time because Maths teachers are normally chalk and talk.
Great way of helping students estimate on a global scale.
