How could you use social networking in Science teaching?
Start a class network for communicating with students and parents
Have students share work online
Participate in an online project
Collaborate with a school in another area or another country
Voicethreads
http://www.voicethread.com
How could you use Voicethread in the Science curriculum?
Start with a stimulus image or video clip
Ask a focus question
Have students respond – in text or by recording
Note: Voicethread is more effective when collaborative – students can all see the responses
Wikis
www.wikispaces.com www.wetpaint.comwww.pbworks.com
Have students gather and share resources
Use as a means of communication for a class
Use to build a body of knowledge
Open discussion on a topic
How could you use a wiki to enhance Science teaching?
Use as a class web page

BlogEd – NSW Department of Education’s secure students’ blogging site
How could you use blogging in the Science curriculum?
Link to online information
Post images and documents
Post discussion and ideas
Ask a focus question and expect responses
Use to disseminate information and elicit comments
Document an event
Critical Thinking and Problem - Solving
Inspiration and Kidspiration

How Could You Use Graphic Organisers in Your Classroom?
Brainstorm what students know about a topic
Structure and organise ideas
Develop "what if" scenarios
Compare and contrast
Learning Objects

While you are at MQ, you may access learning objects through
Learning Objects
Learning Objects
How Could You Use Learning Objects in Your Classroom?
Use to reinforce a concept
Provide engagement
Use to consolidate a topic
Create a supplementary activity
Idea: PowerPoint for creating learning objects
Google Earth
Add place markers
Add images, text, video and more to placemarkers
Use place marks to sequence lesson activities
Draw a path between places
Create a tour of the path
Save a group of place marks as a .kmz file for reuse
Note the cluster of earthquakesNow look at the pattern of volcanoes
How could you use Google Earth in Science
Built Environment: Compare built and natural environments
Natural Environments: Investigate areas like the Great Barrier Reef, wilderness areas, to discuss the human impact
Products and Services: Explore distribution of products and services
Earth and Surroundings: investigate earthquakes, volcanoes, oceans
Use for mapping and landforms
Create a tour of specific places
Use as a lesson sequence, adding activities to place markers
