Week 2 - Frozen Week/Cultural Performance Week
Using Video to Improve Practice: Anyone brave enough to give this a go? Or video something in your class that you think works really well and bring it to staff meeting?
Week 3 - Looking Towards Student Led Conferences
Please bring latest assessment data and teacher inquiry so far to look at how Term 2 has gone for student achievement particularly the target students of your inquiry.
Week 4 - Looking Back and Re-focussing
Please take a look at these videos - they review the work we have done on silent signals, creating safe classrooms, SWBAT etc. What I would really like you to do is view both these videos and blog a response for the rest of our colleagues to read about your ideas/lightbulb moments or something you are going to change/do as a result of watching these videos. https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/fifth-grade-class-culture

Week 5 - Taking a look at e-learning and gaining our own understanding of what it brings.
Before meeting with Anne and Annemarie to discuss our next steps on the e-learning contract I did a bit of research to explore what e-learning actually meant to me.
The following websites I found to be quite useful in exploring what lies behind e-learning and where it can take us.
Smart Classrooms - http://education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms/documents/strategy/pdf/scbyte-elearning.pdf
Six Principles of Effective e-Learning: What Works and Why - Ruth Clark http://faculty.washington.edu/farkas/HCDE510- Fall2012/ClarkMultimediaPrinciples(Mayer).pdf This article connects the research, psychology and the application to e-:Learning. An easy read with great pedagogy we can all understand.

I am going to add a resource page to our Weebly that is dedicated to e-Learning. Please copy and paste any websites you have found useful for both learning and teaching. With your support we should be able to build a very targetted e-Learning resource site that supports our students' learning needs.
