Teaching with technology - Lecture continued (Wk 11A)!!!

In the tech room now right after the most stressful and frustrating experience of presenting our Behaviour Management Plan (BMP) Evaluation for Professional Experience in only 2 mins 30...

Reference to MOOC videos

• James showed enthusiasm for both sides of arguments

• Doesn't need to involve technology

• Some aspects of music ed don't need technology.

"Learning and teaching are highly personalised things that don't necessarily work in one given situation" (Humberstone, 2016).

How do you teach students how to compose when they are exposed to repertoire?

This is where "learning doesn't necessarily finish when you leave the classroom anymore" fits in.

Research

Bear the latest research in mind OR actually, disruptive technologies in music education:

• Wikipedia has always been ignored / known to be an inaccurate site for citing by teachers. Students are not allowed to cite from it!!!

• You are NOT normal because of your educational opportunities and background. According to ABS, 2012:

• 25% of Australian population have Bachelor degrees or highest educational attainment.

• 39% went to private schools / independent school

• 27% didn't start year 12

• 20% get to year 12, but don't finish

• 47% of the population have reached their highest level of education at school but unfortunately didn't continue.

We have moved from a position where information was locked up inside the teacher's head and textbooks that were scattered around the classrooms. We are Social. 2015 research shows:

• 23.7 million - world population

• 21.2 million - active internet users

• 13.6 million - active social media accounts

• 30 million - mobile connections

• 12 million - active mobile social accounts

1974 - an important year (because James Humberstone was born)?

• James using telephone box and email in his uni years.

• 1997 phone box changes and he gets his new mobile phone for work.

• Technology doesn't change for 20 years.

• Nokia phones in about 2003.

• Working at Sibelius, received his new Smartphone in 2006.

• Everything changes in 2007 - the introduction of Apple iPhones.

Girls use their phones more than boys - quite interesting to note

Teenagers access internet via:

• Educational institution

• Friend's place

• Library

• Workplace

• Wireless hotspots

Where does technology fit in within education?

Surely there are significant crossovers into education via 'technology use' factors / categories such as: entertainment (streaming videos to learn), communication (sending and receiving emails), general, commerce and banking/ finance.

It is important to integrate social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube for learning purposes.

• PLN = Personal Learning Network

Because technology has changed so much, it has also changed classrooms.

• The App Generation (Gardner & Davis, 2013):

• apps can provide a strong sense of identity

• apps allow relationships with others.

• apps stimulate creativity.

"Any teacher that can be replaced by YouTube should be" (Arthur C. Clarke).

Quality of computer-assisted learning over time - how learning quality is affected by technology.

There will always be a certain amount of enthusiasm.

More cognitive load theory

• That's my heading above

• These are my bullets now

• Are you listening to what I'm saying?

• This point has no relevance and you're still reading.

Students want to be recognised, cared about and fit in - don't use words and kill them with bullet points in a PowerPoint.

Think about how kids are going to look at your webpage / resources. Consider the 'F' figured shape.
