Workshop Two Options

Podcast People - Simple Podcasting on the Internet |
| Presenter |
Lucy Mathieson - San Antonio |
| Brief Biography |
I am in my third year teaching at San Antonio School. I am the lead teacher for ICT and I have enjoyed seeing the outcomes of using ICT in my class. In my three years of teaching my ICT skills have improved but I still have a lot to learn! I believe the ICT you use in you class needs to have a purpose so you can see the results with student achievement and enjoyment. I have chosen to do a presentation on Podcastpeople.com because it is a free tool you can sign up and use immediately, it is simple to use, it ties in with reading achievement and the students love using it. |

Podcastpeople is an online tool where children can record themselves and it can be listened to on the web around the world by relatives and friends. It's great for parents to hear their children talking/reading at home and share their successes with them. Podcastpeople is a great tool to help improve student achievement and confidence in reading for all levels. You need to identify a need within your class, for example to improve expression and fluency and then work towards achieving that outcome using Podcastpeople. |

| Computer Platform |
Suitable for both Macs and PCs |
| Description of Workshop |
Professional learning (PL) encompasses a range of different elements in order to be effective. One of the key aspects is that people may not like change but they do like action, so by making the professional learning in your school more focussed on actions you will have more chance of success. The focus of successful professional learning is around “action research” which is a very similar process to that of inquiry learning.
Accompanying an action research programme are time frames that are contained within the normal constraints of school life and are also focussed on a specific date when, regardless of capability, all the educators will adopt the transitions as best as they are able.
Professional learning requires a change in culture for many teachers as most associate professional learning with doing courses on their subject area (mathematics, science, drama . . .) or classroom focus (reading, writing, “global warming” . . . . ). Our focus is on to facilitate learning better as in the main most teachers know enough (and in many case know too much!). We will base our “action” model on the work of Howard Gardner and Reuven Feuerstein and for success schools will require a good technical infrastructure.

Flickr is a free online storage area for photos. There are great functions built into it such as being able to add pop-up comments to your photos but there are also other complimentary tools that work with Flickr that allow you to do things like make motivational posters out of your pictures, simply add speech bubbles and much more. Flickr also has many pictures that have a Creative Commons licence which means that you can use them as long as you acknowledge their source. We will look at how to find these images - I think Flickr is better than Google Images at times when looking for great images to use in the classroom. All participants will leave with a Flickr account and notes from the workshop. |
