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.

my role in 2012.... eLearning
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
where we are at... eLearning
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
2 ways to look at it...
the e-learning plan in 2012 eLearning
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
the e-learning plan in 2012 eLearning
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
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

simplify and streamline your workload
enhance staff communication
facilitate collaborative learning
that is instantly engaging
kill the USB driveand every other ‘dog ate my
homework’ excuse
anywhere, anytime access on any device
what this means... eLearning
Pedagogical ShiftThe 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
some points to consider... eLearning
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
