Teacher expectation & student engagement
“In deep expressions of practice, students' learning activities and the curriculum/knowledge content they engage with are
shaped in ways that reflect the input and interests of students,
as well as what teachers know to be important knowledge.”
Bolstad, R., Gilbert J., McDowell, S., Bull, A., Boyd, S., Hipkins, R. (2012) Supporting future-oriented learning and teaching - a New Zealand perspective. New Zealand: Ministry of Education
expectation leads to engagement
Combine knowledge, approaches and technologies
what is e-learning?
“...learning and teaching that is facilitated by or supported through the appropriate use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).”

Moving to deep understanding
My place in the sun - understanding why places can be important to us.
• Identify one important place where people go during the summer.
• Describe the kinds of places where people spend their summer.
• Compare the places - how are they similar? different?
• Make general statements about the kinds of places that are important to people.

engage through new approaches to learning
Engagement before.... “Help me find my own doorway”

“Once we have developed a rich question, we use:> photos gathered on Flickr, > recorded video interviews with family, and > examples online, like Digistore, to engage prior knowledge on a topic.”
Diving deeper “Give me steps...or build me a ramp”
“There is more than one way to show understanding - we> sketch, > digitally mind-map, > plan and draft ideas using storytelling apps,> use a Voicethread> curate images as we prepare to explore deeper....”

Sharing learning “Pathways as memorable as the destination”
“We use tools to> support collaborative and shared writing, > flexible editing and > authentic publication. Producing ideas for real purposes and audiences has never been easier.”

What might our focus question be?
“My students mainly draft writing and then we type it up neatly, or make posters for the wall. To be honest, the work feels like its
the same as it has always been - I’m not
sure what the possibilities are.”

✓ trialing✓establishingWhat might our focus question be?
“We have tablets in the classroom and we use
them mainly for research and editing. Some students want to be more creative in the way they work. I feel we could be
using technologies to support the learning
process more strategically.”

“ I have begun to use technologies to find new pathways that suit students’ passions and needs. This has
meant designing tasks differently to how I
have in the past.”

“We integrate technologies so that students’ learning is personalised and richly creative - and we make the most of community and global connections. Learning looks completely different to a few
years ago.”
