- 1.
- 2. WHY? • Its accessibleanywhere – home school and in between • Caters to all learning types as a range of self directed, pairs, group work and good old chalk and talk • If I am away I just tell the reliever what online activities to do and away they go • If students are away they can catch up, do it before they go, even participate in activities while they are away • Lesson notes always available – students can go over content after the lesson, at the end of the topic at the end of the year • Easy to differentiate, has extension activities and extra examples practice for those struggling – students can do as much or as little as they like • Students can use resources for learning in the Learning Centre or Language Dept – including key words • Frees me up to help individuals or groups and give feedback when I am at home or in non contacts, and during lessons • Feedback is quick and easy and remains as a permanent record for students • Easy for me, students and parents to track progress • Easy to collect feedback on my teaching • Great way to display students work which empowers them • Get students working with content rather than being passive in class • Far better to see what is happening in a video or animation than watch me flap my arms about
- 3. HOW? In Junior classeswe Moodle, everything is linked from here, so students/staff/parents go here first then follow a link to the activity http://learningon.theloop.school.nz/moodle/course/view.php?id=2447
- 4. HOW? In my seniorclasses I use Books in Moodle http://learningon.theloop.school.nz/moo dle/mod/book/view.php?id=85539&cha pterid=4630 - students go here and follow along with the lesson or open my power point and follow from there
- 5. WHAT? • Google calendars •Pre topic tests – google forms, moodle • Online self marking quizzes – hot potatoes • Quizlet – revision of terms • Kahoots – starters, revision • Forums – extension, ncea questions, extra help • Animations • Assignments – self marking • Formative tests – self marking and graphing of results • Videos – to watch, create and share, zaption • Padlet - Brainstorming • Display student work, photos • Useful websites/extension – links • Research using google and one note • Slide share – where I upload my lesson power points for students and staff to download and use • Android and Apple Science Apps

- 9. VIDEOS • Videos fromthe internet: • Great way to show actual biology occurring out in the environment • Students can watch these again for homework or revision at the end of the year • I show them as a whole class or they can watch individually or in pairs or for homework • Used the differentiate – once students get the idea they can move on, or if still need more then carry on watching • Students can make their own videos to help reinforce and idea and communicate it to others, during class time or at home • Can also make own slide shows and animations

- 17. APPS • Recently Ihave been working on finding suitable apps for each topic and putting links to them in Junior Science • Heads Up! - Great new app for playing charades, and who am I, yes/no, Pictionary type games • Flash cards deluxe, Explain everything (you can annotate and record over any file), docwrite – speech turned to text!, or explain a concept using puppet pal… • Students can use these but until I get a android or apple school device I can’t….. • This will open up a whole new area for BYOD usage …..
- 18. MY RULE OFTHUMB • Keep it short and sweet • Lots of variety and make sure it works first so students don’t get frustrated and put off • Before you go Rate it! • go to https://b.socrative.com/login/student/ or search Socrative in google then click on student login • Type in classroom - 7QCZ8LOO • Answer the questions!

Editor's Notes
- #2 I don’t want to tell anyone how to suck eggs and I am no expert, I have taught myself how to do most things so there are probably better ways of doing them but this is what I do in my classes, my senior bio classes have BYOD and my junior classes I book the cows or they do the activities as homework – however once they have BYOD I will use these tasks in class much more often as most of them are short and break up the lesson and give me instant feedback on where the students are at.
- #3 Plus any new teachers to Wai col have everything at their fingers! -
- #4 I have been working on putting resources onto moodle for junior science this year. This can be used by parents, staff and students.
- #5 I usually talk first, show any clips I want them all to see and then set them a range of tasks to re enforce what I have taught and test their understanding I have my power points on slide share so students can down load them or open them and have them on their device in front of them, making it easy to see and click and follow links to activities
- #8 I use both moodle and google quizzes or forms to collect pre topic data on my class and students. I only have to make the quiz once and it is self marking. It takes the students less than 5minutes and is a great way to fill in the last five minutes after they have finished the previous topics end of topic test, or to set as a homework task before we start the topic to get them thinking about what we are doing next.
- #9 The results are generated instantaneously, I can get the information on each individual or whole class data depending on what I am using it for. I also use them as tasks throughout the topic to ensure students are on track before moving onto the next concept and then again at the end of the topic as revision and so students can see where they are up too and what they need to study before the test. Its quick and easy and saves me having to go around checking who has and hasn’t done homework and what they got write and wrong, it also gives students instant feedback on what the correct answers are.
- #10 Students used the cow computers and their computers and phones at home to make these videos and shared them with the rest of the class
- #11 Students seemed to be more willing to have a go at NCEA questions if they worked in pairs and typed their answers onto a forum so that they could get feedback and see others feedback and see how everyone reads and answers a question differently Great way to extend students – give them current issues which challenge ethical ideas regarding science and allow them to discuss pros and cons of a range of ideas. Students who have finished class work can go onto forums and read others comments and then do some research regarding topic and give their own informed opinion – I can monitor it. I generally put a student in charge of each forum topic so that they can help challenge the rest to give well research opinions and keep the group on topic.
- #17 Much easier than collecting in books to mark! Great for explaining processes, students can re look at them over and over any place until they get it! Great way to reinforce understanding, getting students to teach each other and peer assess, also to see HOW they are working something out so can work out where they are going wrong
- #18 I would also like to look into using one note as an e portfolio and using online calendars across subjects so students/parents/teachers can look at what work students have coming up in all subjects, can see assessment work from all areas and from one year to the next so students can build on key competencies and grades.
