Notable Tweets

1. @AntHeald: The crushingly obvious pointis that the hardware & network need to berobust enough not to fall over. Puts peopleright off tech #ukedchat

2. @dailydenouement: In our case, its the dis-crepancy between depts; some have the techequipment, others dont #ukedchat

3. @bevevans22: Also training for the pho-bic needs to be inspiring, useful and userfriendly too many are put off using tech byboring sessions #ukedchat

4. @nellmog: I think differentiated trainingis the key so people see the true relevanceto the teaching and learning in their class-rooms #ukedchat

5. @Joga5: @AntHeald I agree but there arealso signicant issues around teacher atti-

tudes, condence, pedagogy and *trusting*children #ukedchat

6. @ianinsheeld: #ukedchat An importantpoint I feel is effectively and what we

mean by that or can it just be more useof tech?

7. @sciencelabman: we have to be ambas-sadors for how to use to technology in theclassroom. #ukedchat

8. @aangeli: in my experience its all aboutCPD and a real emphasis on the C #ukedchat

9. @sciencelabman: access is an issue for meas I have some great ideas but are limitedby when i can get into the computer room.#ukedchat

10. @dughall: Teachers are obliged to helpchildren become literate in *every* sense.This *has* to include technology #ukedchat

11. @cjs76: Higher leadership at school/county level needs to emphasise importanceand promote. Ind.teachers should not be leftto do it all #ukedchat

12. @katie_hague: Agree with @dughall impact on learners is a real carrot, havepersuaded lots of reluctant teachers thisway! #ukedchat

Tweet of the Week@AntHeald: I think ubiquity & quality of tech isimportant. Imagine teaching with 6 shared pencils& no sharpener. Stimes feels like that #ukedchat

Topic of Discussion full details more

here

If you could revise the curriculum, what would it

look like?

Summary of Discussion

The second ever #ukedchat was a lively, quick-re,stimulating discussion with much consensus andagreement amongst contributors about their visionsfor curriculum reform.

Key features of peoples ideal curriculum seemedto be that it should be

Learner-centred Flexible Creative Thematic/project-based Relevant Community/locality-based Outdoor and/or in different learning

spaces.

There was some discussion about how realisticsuch aspirations might be with observations andcomments being made about all stages of educationbut with a feeling that EYFS (Early Years Founda-tion Stage) seemed to be getting many things right.Questions were also asked about the degree of riskinvolved in reforming curriculum and how wellplaced schools are to take such risks given a climateof inspection and accountability.

There was also discussion of of QCA Scheme of workunits and their potential shortcomings.

Eye-Catching Tweets

@carolrainbow My ideal curriculum would be full ofexciting, open ended projects for pupils to research

and present, with no xed timetable #ukedchat@jamesmichie @chris_1974 @ianaddison ideally Iwould like to see timetables centred around studentsneeds & interests. #ukedchat@dailydenouement Think depends on how muchrisk the mgmt prepared to take with curric. & time-table design #ukedchat@kvnmcl Take out the prescriptive nature, add adash of teacher ingenuity and a dollop of creativelearning #ukedchat@sciencelabman we have to teach kids to take res-

ponsibilty for their own learning #ukedchat@Joga5 Meaningful, vibrant, relevant, child andteacher directed, developed with cross curricularlinks but also with a sense of rigour #ukedchat@carolrainbow An ipod touch or similar with loadsof learning apps & internet would be on every deskand used all day as needed for research etc #uked-chat@islayian @chris_1974 We have doubled up most50 min periods and added in exi time on fridayafternoon Classes are non certicated #ukedchat@sciencelabman it needs to interest kids and not

just something we can test #ukedchat@kvnmcl Foundation stage has it right so why notuse their approach for the whole pri curriculum#ukedchat@janwebb21 @carolrainbow Id want to go furtherand make the curriculum a spiral curriculum thatbuilt skills and knowledge throughout school #uke-dchat@kvnmcl @dughall A risk worth taking? So manyclasses in KS2 are now factories of learning, theenjoyment phased out due to targets #ukedchat

@Elmlea1981 Most aspects of teaching needs revo-lutionising. What, where and how but Its got to start

Session 3 Summary 08/07/2010 by @Joga Ukedchats Blog

Topic of Discussion How can we use collaborativetools to enhance learning?

(full details more here)

This was broken down into subquestions:What do we mean by collaboration?What are the barriers to collaboration?How do we encourage collaboration between scho-ols at teacher level?Who needs to drive the collaboration?


The discussion was varied with several threads run-

ning through it. It is clear from the discussion that allof those posting were convinced that collaborationhas to be at the heart of educational developments.It was agreed that collaboration has to include andinvolve all stakeholders with a call to ensure thatthis included parents.There is still a job to be done with developing itin our own establishments as well as across thepiece. Initially there were some suggestions froman ed tech point of view of what could be used tosupport collaboration wikis, blogs, video confe-rence, dabbleboard, Wallwisher, Mahara, collabo-rative mindmapping, VLE, podcasting, Voicethread,Skype, raf.k.The discussion then moved onto exploring the bar-riers to collaboration it became clear that edchattersbelieve they sit at various levels. It was suggestedthat a fear factor remains with to many teachersbut also there appears to be several other barriersincluding knowing the tools, blocking of applica-tions by frewalls, seeing how online tools can aidcollaboration and a fear on the part of managementteams and governing bodies of online participation.

There was a sense in the discussion that none ofthe barriers were insurmountable but did need to

be recognition that people move at different pacesand not all children are motivated by technology.The edchatters moved onto how we can encourageteacher level collaboration starting with Teachmeet

and then Twitter.Bev Evans told us about work taking place in herschool where staff are mentoring each other theyare moving towards a different approach to learningwhere collaboration is at the centre.We closed the conversation with thoughts of whoshould drive the collaborations discussed duringthe night and closing statements. There was gene-ral consensus was that teachers need to take res-ponsibility for driving collaboration involving theirmanagement teams at all stages.

It was an excellent discussion demonstrated by thefact that the hour seemed to speed by with an em-phasis on more than just technology. It was clearthat all believed that collaboration is worth inves-ting in, should be spread across schools and needsworking at.

Eye-Catching Tweets

@primarypete_ tech comes 2nd. Its all aboutthe school and the individual wanting to beoutward&reective rather than inward looking.

@deerwood I think the frst point we need to getacross is that collaboration does not equal cheating

@primarypete_ theres a clear diff between toolsthat let children work in the same space, & genuinecollaboration

@john_at_muuua who is this collaboration with?student 2 student? student 2 teacher? Thats where

problems arise. How do you CRB check an avatar?

Session 4 Summary by @ianaddison Ukedchats Blog

Topic of Discussion

What are we doing to promote creativity in theclassroom?


The discussion covered a lot of different thoughts oncreativity. This included trying to dene it, discus-sing if we could assess it and wondering whether itwas possible to be creative when given constraintssuch as timetabling or impending Ofsted visits. Wealso talked a lot about ways to get teachers to bemore creative and to take risks as well as providinga culture for children to do the same. Some people

talked about taking a whole-school approach to crea-tivity and this seemed to work well. The generalconsensus is that creativity needs to be embraced bythe head teacher and by management before it canbe fully embedded into the school. There needs tobe an element of risk from teachers and this needsto be modelled for the children. Once they see howwe deal with risks and failure, they can becomebetter at it themselves. Providing children with theopportunity to try different tools and to have theseto hand will help to develop their creativity.We discussed whether it was possible to assess crea-tivity and with this it was decided that our assess-ment also needs to be creative.

@primarypete: to allow creativity to ourish, youneed to allow children to risk and fail with grace@dughall: I think we can only have creativity witha high degree of pupil choice, involvement and per-sonalisation of the curriculum@sport_ed: open ended tasks are important- howe-

ver it is vital students have skills to be able to selectcreative ways of completing tasks.

@carolrainbow: creativity involves two processes,thinking then producingecce1: we have to look at giving multilpe optionsfor how students demonstrate their knowledge

@dughall: teacher condence is crucial in promotingand maintaining creativity in the classroom@chrisfullerisms: not just taking risks but encou-rage an environment in which errors are accepted/embraced. by erring, we often learn more@josepicardo: failure is just an opportunity to bebetter@vikh46: with all lessons, its the ability to act whenthings arent going well and children are lost thatmakes a good or outstanding teacher@cgeo28: to be creative, pupils need to be inspired,

Session 5 Summary by @janwebb21 Ukedchats Blog

Session Title

How do we make the use of interactive whiteboardsTRULY interactive?


The discussion evolved around WHO the boardsare interactive for staff/pupils and HOW theyare interactive is it the resources or the board?The use of IWBs as gloried/funky projectors see-med to be the main issue raised. Suggestions to im-prove the interactive experience of pupils includedtraining of all staff properly including TAs andadding software to pupil pcs/laptops so they could

use in other contexts/prepare their own resources.Suggestions for how to use interactively includedusing response controllers, having the board at age-appropriate heights/considering where the pupilsare when the board is being used, ensuring latestSmartboard 10 software loaded up (as the galleryhas lots of editable, interactive activities), as a re-cording tool for dyslexic pupils/as a group activity,combining use with other tools such as visualisers/microscopes/ gyroscopic wireless keyboards andmice, using interactive games, for shared writing/an-notating/screen captures and recording, for math ac-tivities that benet from manipulation, using web 2tools including collaborative tools with other classes/schools, combining with use of mini whiteboards toensure interactivity for all. A discussion about therelevance of powerpoint included suggestions aboutusing Prezi/slideshare, making ppts less linear andmore interactive, including using multimouse andpptplex. Some are quite happy without the interac-tivity, others treat as part of larger teacher toolkit.Pupil use of iwb in earlier years may promote nemotor control. In conclusion, its the way iwbs are

used that determines their interactivity, dynamismand engagement levels it needs to be teacher-led

not tech-led to have an impact on learning.I thought the discussion challenged people, whate-ver their views about iwbs I, for one, will certainlybe checking out some of the ideas further over the

summer holidays!


@kvnmcl: IWB cannot be a teacher only domain,theyve got to be used by the pupils and not just topoint and click on@katie_hague: Train all staff, including TAs in howto use software, rather than just leaving them to

nd time (ha!) to do it themselves@eyebeams: Network them globally have opensource code for them@chrismayoh: Always makes sense to load the IWBsoftware onto other computers in school@bevevans: Our IWBs are at a pupil accessibleheight low down in FP settings and higher up inKS2. Makes a difference I think@DeputyMitchell: I have taught this whole year wi-thout an IWB. Not even a projector which I havemissed but not the IWB!@tj007: I like having the IWB in the classroom itmakes me think more about the lesson and howto engage and focus pupils. I like to record so-mething that has been demonstrated on screen, sothat it can be replayed (could be a pupils demo oflearning)@Natty08: Can I recommend all Smart users havenotebook 10 installed AND check out the toolkit foreducators lots of stuff there@dughall: IWB in Early Years & KS1 = Continuousprovision like sand & water. Tonnes of learning!@deerwood: in the case of one school I went in, you

could start by removing all the posters stuck on theIWB

Session 6 29th July Ukedchats Blog

Session Title

Reecting on your year what worked/ didnt work?What will you improve next year?

Summary of discussion

Once again a fast paced talk this time with the fo-cus on Reecting on the school year what worked/didnt work? What will you improve on next year?

The full entry is

http://wp.me/PYldx-1v

Although a lot of the talk revolved around the useof ICT and sites that had worked and not worked,some non-tech issues came through.

A big one was marking and how it was hard to keepon top of; it was felt that despite good intentionspeople would be behind by Christmas at the latest.A discussion revolved around ways to solve this.

Ideas included:

Better use of AfL peer marking in particu-lar was discussed

Better use of VLE so that homework/ taskscould be given in different ways

Mix of written tasks vs. spoken tasks

Others felt that they would like to make better use oftheir outdoor areas and some discussion revolved

around Forest Schools (see below for link on infor-mation).

Through discussion of ICT the overall and under-lying principles that came out was that these toolsare often used to help children take more controlof their learning. This matches with the AfL ideas

and even better use of VLE.

Although prompted by me I do think that some ofus may be thinking a little more about our work lifebalance however I could be wrong on this.

I think ultimately the thing that everyone decided onwas the use of Twitter and how next year they wouldcontinue to set aside time to attend the Ukedchats.This is seen as a positive time to talk to others andexpand the PLN that we are all developing.

I am hoping that everyone enjoyed the night as Idid it has made me think about things I intend todo better next year and hopefully helped those thattook part as well. Remember although reection isimportant at the end of the year it is also importantday in day out to improve our teaching and ultima-tely the learning that occurs in the classroom.

Eye catching tweets

Each child in my class has their own display space,they decide what goes on it, photos, work etc. Chan-ged regularly. Good A @GillDeCosemo

This year in my school Teachers had Reection Jour-nals this was much more useful than annotatingplanning. Honesty needed! @theotheralig

Use co-operative techniques and get kids to takemore control J @Janeh271

Session 7 Summary 5th August bybevevans22 Ukedchats Blog

Session Title

How can we make our classrooms a more inclusivelearning environment? (Are tech tools the answer?)

Summary of Discussion:

The topic was one which was wide open with diverseissues of inclusion being discussed: from makingthings easier for left handed children to making yourlearning environment wheelchair accessible. Again,as has happened in previous weeks, relationshipsin class, staff training and parental involvementwas highlighted as a key factor. The teacher must beproperly informed of the childs needs and the LSA

supporting must have the necessary skills, otherwiseinclusion is falling down at the rst stage.A number of points were additionally raised aboutworking with pupils in ability based sets: was this agood thing or a bad thing? Votes fell on both sides,but all agreed that even within an ability settingthere can be a number of differing needs and workwould still need adapting and differentiating.Although the discussion was passionate and fastpaced there were a number of things that just madesense immediately. When talking about topics thatengage the pupils it was suggested that certain to-pics often inspired and encouraged the less ablechildren, especially those with ASD, to join in morewithout disrupting the balance of the class. This ledto a quick listing of such topics and a general chatabout other strategies for including pupils with ASD,with visual timetables and dget toys high on thelist.Of course the second part of our topic was Are techtools the answer and there were some solid ideas forusing technology to assist. Some suggestions werepure and simple: like changing the mouse settings

on a PC. Many ideas were built upon the need foralternative ways to record using easily available

software, like Audacity or PhotoStory but there wereadditional comments about how VLEs, Ipads andhand held learning devices could be utilised too- all very useful ideas.

Finally everyone agreed that expectations should behigh for every child in the class: we all want themto develop independent skills and reach their fullpotential. After all, its our job to help them becomethe best that they can be.


@simonhaughton Its important to balance promo-ting inclusion within a group whilst ensuring eachchilds individual needs are met

@nellmog A huge amount of inclusion issues oftenstem from behaviour and emotional issues and buil-ding learning relationships are key@daviderogers We should also keep expectationshigh for all and not allow anyone to hide behinddisadvantages@2simpleant (on using tech) It neednt be cuttingedge. You can do loads with a digital camera and apresentation tool@tonycassidy: Never underestimate the power ofa huge inatable penguin hug it, punch it@malcolmbellamy: desk moving does not cause ariot if it is part of the culture of the class and pro-motes the learning@dailydenouement Being in secondary, I fnd I haveto sometimes do unobtrusive inclusion! Doodlepadsetc mentioned earlier easy to slip to pupil@dughall Relationships are essential in the inclusiveclassroom (student-student, adult-student)@ebd35 Have been truly amazed at how engage-ment went thru ceiling using Itouches (in a carefullyplanned way)@colport I am hoping to use Ipad to support ICT

inclusion in the classroom next year. Various goodapps available to support learning
