LatSPresentations

Reporting back on Learning at School will include presentations from those who attended. These will be scheduled for our Lead teacher days starting on the 22nd. You will be sharing your thoughts, learnings and reflections with a small group so please keep this in mind when preparing your feedback. Please briefly outline the focus of your presentation including level where applicable. You should be looking at between 10 and 15 minutes. It may be a summary of a session that you attended or a combination of ideas around a theme. Your name would be nice.

**Sharing groups for the 22nd.** You will have a maximum of 15 minutes each to reflect, share, outline, explain, demonstrate and discuss something that you took from your attendance at L@S. Many thanks to those who put their topics up on the wiki. I have endeavoured to share similar areas across groups. This will help those who have yet to identify their focus to pick something that covers something different.These will be small group presentations so you will need to design it fit for purpose - you should be able to use your laptops - big print 8-} or have the rest of the group trying things.

Hi all, Presentation: Using free web tools to enhance classroom learning Level: Should be OK for all levels The following is a link to a YouTube video that the presenter of the workshop I am going to be talking about showed us: [] There is a whole series of these videos - fascinating quick facts to think about... **Mel Bismark - Tokomaru School**

=== //** __Te Kura o Tākaro__ **// Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou katoa. A metaphor developing a school action plan based on a journey. The journey uses the notion of the waka. Ki te hoe is a command, To the paddles. This is the model I developed to work with schools around the notion of strategic thinking and planning for change. At the L@S conference I went to a number of workshops that related to developing a school vision, or action plan to ensure highly effective professional learning. It became clear that each school needed to do the thinking and developing of their own action plans that were unique and relevant to them. The journey of change management was the critcal theme that linked them all. Which brings me to a quote I wrote down from the workshop Facilitating Highly Effective Professinal Learning with David Anderson Resisting change is like holding your breath If you succeed you are dead.

===My class has had a tamper with Digital Storytelling. Here is a 30sec sample of what one of the groups came up with. media type="custom" key="5620093" We also used the Crazy Talk application and some pictures the children had painted. These pictures were used to host our school's assembly last week. Here is a very small snippet of what we did with Crazy Talk. Am unable to attend Monday 22nd so am sharing what I got from the L@S Conference on here. media type="custom" key="5626521" Peter Rihia-Tāmaki - Te Kura o Tākaro===

===I went to a workshop by Jaqui Sharp which was around creating an effective ICTearning environment. She talked about the 5 levels of classroom engagement which would be a very useful self assessment tool for teachers. So I would like to do a presentation on this. Trevor Saunders - Central Normal===

=== I would like to share thoughts and ideas on "Effective change and reducing barriers" which grew from the session I attended that was presented by Martin Hughes. **Kathy Smith - Cloverlea School** I would like to share the sessions I attended on animation programmes - suitable for most levels. J**anice Martin Cloverlea School.** I would like to share the uses and fun that can be had by using the Comic Life program with your children. I have just been having a good old 'tutu' with my class using the program to create certificates and stories about our recent triathlon. Suitable for all ages. If possible, please download the trial version prior to the lead teacher day through [] See you all Monday! Ronald Nolan- Central Normal **Melissa Van Echten - Central Normal School**. I would like to share my thoughts and ideas on Photostory 3, Movie Maker and ‘Animoto’ (Web based). ===

I attended a workshop on How to create and deliver memorable presentations. Ideas about what works and doesn't etc...Thought this would be good if I'm saying I'm doing ICTPD and then produce boring presentations.

I am keen to share parts of Photography unit that has been running in my class since the start of the term. This unit was enhanced with a lot of useful, inspiring ideas and activities from Stuart Hales workshop Using Photography in story telling.

I would like to share how using Apple 'Keynote' can be an effective way of presenting ideas to a larger audience. See the workshops I have run for staff at my school on Mac Attacks **

**Hi all, Roanne here. This is an outline of what I was going to present, I was hoping to show examples but that hasn't worked at the moment, however I will try to get them up, so in short, are my reflections and some ways I use the applications in my classroom. Hopefully after Friday I will be able to load my assembly for you to look at.** Reflections: - letting go of “perfect” - as teachers we don’t always need to do it first we can learn with the children - show me and I’ll see, tell me and I’ll hear, involve me and I’ll understand - communicating meaning is 7% words, 38% tone, 55% physiology __ Wordle __ – I use wordle for charting the prior knowledge children give at the start of the unit. You can use it and print it straight out as the children are talking. Start with typing in all the children’s ideas as they speak, when a word or idea is repeated type it in again. I usually just type in the main word a few times so that it becomes the largest and the heading they can easily see. At the end of a unit these are great to compare to each other, start by typing in all the words you previously used (I keep them in a word document) then add all the new knowledge, usually the wordle is bigger with more topic specific words, the children love it and it can easily be displayed and or copied for each child’s Kaupapa book. You can change the font and colour on wordle as well so it can be the same or different to every other wordle you do. __ Picasa 3 __ – great for photos with collage features, you can make videos put music to them and all in different ways other than using powerpoint. Even young children can master and manage their own projects with Picasa. It is easy to use and create with and what’s better it is free to download. __ Photo Story 3 and comic life __
