There was plenty of banter, but the key ideas from the session were:
The Hot Tech
Raspberry Pis
Raspberry Pis were mentioned at the beginning of the session. Currently nobody has the numbers to teach whole class groups, but the technology is promising. @dwsm said, “Haven’t been able to get hold of enough of them-going with Arduino instead”. 10 lesson ideas for Raspberry Pi can be found at: http://www.slideshare.net/jamesabelaELT/10-lesson-ideas-with-the-raspberry-pi
iPads
There is some debate particularly in Primary schools as to the uses of the iPad with some schools using them as ‘Fashion’ statements, apps that are poorly designed and concern over the costs of getting them into school and their long term robustness. (Particularly when compared to desktop PCs) However others have found them invaluable for literacy, creativity and blogging. (For example Puppet Pals)
There was also concern that having 1 account and sharing the apps amongst all iPads or iPods although widespread practice might not actually be legal. (No authoritative answer was found.)
Some ideas
@MissPhilbin: History of computing culminating in a trip to the national museum of computing #ukedchat
@MissAPatterson: Collaboration using wikis, creating voicethread, Voki, prezi design - some of the ict I hope to teach #ukedchat
@nickotkdIV: we now have ICT links in most foundation subjects: Science, History, geography, DT, Art. All need ICT links #ukedchat
@ lewis892 Agree I did a lesson with Google Earth Maths & Geog Kids loved it Don't want to be constrained by the national curriculum #ukedchat
@MissAPatterson Our school has introduced an ezine which is emailed to a huge list of parents monthly to keep them up to date #ukedchat
@eslweb If you'd like a new curriculum. Here's one I nicked earlier: http://t.co/es4NkFln #ukedchat with assessment levels
@ JanP65 There is a great Inanimate Alice resource on Promethean Planet. Have you seen it? #Ukedchat
@PeteJeffreys I've seen lots of talk about Open Badges, started by Mozilla & taken on by others #ukedchat
@ bartoneducation Wow, missed this My best lesson would be 'poke the box'. 15 mins with Raspberry PI and then stop, review results.#ukedchat
Tweet of the week
@ SheliBB I'm a big fan of anything free! Kodu, scratch, photostory, gdocs, blogging, avatars are top of my list to teach
Because I love anything free too!

| PeteJeffreys | @lewis892 No idea - surely ask a lawyer / read the terms of use! #ukedchat |
| lewissmallwood | RT @SheliBB: @mobo40 @lewissmallwood that's what I say! Teach children to 'cross the road' safely! They have to learn ;-) #ukedchat |

| ukedchat | Next Thurs @mrlockyer is hosting #ukedchat with "Given the chance, what would you keep, change, adjust or improve in our Edu system, & why?" |
| ICTEvangelist | The best single lesson in ICT is the one that empowers learners with confidence 2 solve problems with the very tools they’re using #ukedchat |

| ukedchat | It's 9pm. HUGE thanks to @eslweb for hosting #ukedchat tonight. All links from session have been collected here http://t.co/XUB5jSQD |
| Jon_Torbitt | @anhalf why not set up a charitable scheme where students can lease iPads / laptops thru school and bring them to class? #ukedchat |
| mjbensly | @urban_teacher - sometimes apps not about delivering content or repetitive learning, but exploring tools for productivity? #ukedchat |
| KempsterD | @lewis892 All the schools I have worked with have just the one account and share the apps. #ukedchat |
| urban_teacher | Some schools have ipads as a fashion status rather than an educational tool! ooowwwwwwwww!!! #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @lewissmallwood We got them to create web apps, they loved it. Perhaps real apps are the next step http://t.co/YM5aKvcw #ukedchat |

| lovepookiecat | RT @tomboulter: Please welcome to twitter history teacher @jdbrisk - any fellow history types please introduce yourselves! #ukedchat #histchat please RT! |
| Jon_Torbitt | @ukedchat it's all about solving problems and learning from own mistakes quickly - never mind apps - they choose what to use #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @mobo40 @lewissmallwood that's what I say! Teach children to 'cross the road' safely! They have to learn ;-) #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @lewis892 Can't you put all of the iPads on the same iTunes account to give access to one purchased app? #ukedchat |
| tutor2u_econ | RT @bartoneducation: #ukedchat Saw this tweeted by one of my followers earlier today. It's the future! http://t.co/sYdZxvG6 |
| SheliBB | @ianaddison @missphilbin that's not how we use them. Children's accounts are through kidsblogs in KS2 #ukedchat but class blogs are fine |
| kanda_hh | @ukedchat Any Maths subject leaders tweeting? #ukedchat |
| bartoneducation | RT @ianaddison: Here's a few useful sites I've made - http://t.co/gX21aRMF and http://t.co/QQezkASb #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @bartoneducation wow - so much to look through but even more reason to embrace ICT and led the children help to lead the way #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @KempsterD Isn't it technically illegal? I never seem to get a definate answer, makes apps cheaper for trail and test!! #ukedchat |
| KempsterD | RT @MissAPatterson: #ukedchat That ICT is more than Facebook, twitter, pinterest, etc ... It is a much broader spectrum that develops much creativity! |
| ukedchat | RT @Jon_Torbitt: #ukedchat "what good looks like" to quote @BrooseG - did it in a focus day & kids learnt more in 1 day than a yr |
| lewis892 | @eslweb @apple Not sure either I think if it came to it then it's illegal. US are trailing the abaility to bulk buy apps cheaper. #ukedchat |

| urban_teacher | Some schools have ipads as a fashion status rather than an educational tool! opppps!!! #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @KempsterD Or murder a whole race of people just to prove a point #Ukedchat |

| lewis892 | RT @urban_teacher: Too many developers are trying to create apps without teachers and students input #epicfail #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | ICT touches hearts and minds. Sometimes I catch myself touching myself in unexpected ways #Ukedchat #Ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @SheliBB @mobo40 need my own to find out what it does AND then convince SMT that it is the way to go! #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | RT @urban_teacher: Too many developers are trying to create apps without teachers and students input #epicfail #ukedchat |
| urban_teacher | These web technologies and apps are great! But only a few of them help with leaning! Am i missing something? #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @lewis892 @apple I know schools use 1 account and then share it amongst the iPads not sure on legality. #ukedchat |
| Gwenelope | @Tech_Stories Think that's a way beyond my limited IT skills, but will certainly suggest that to pupils, thanks for idea. #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | RT @MissAPatterson: #ukedchat That ICT is more than Facebook, twitter, pinterest, etc ... It is a much broader spectrum that develops much creativity! |
| ICTtower | RT @bartoneducation: @ICTtower @eslweb It is a part of your life, whether you like it or not! Prepare kids for that life! #ukedchat |
| KempsterD | @urban_teacher also schools need an overall strategy for learning not just an ad hoc try and buy policy. Kit ends up in cupboards #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | RT @anthonydking: Don't let a fear of the worst prevent you from experiencing the best of what technology has to offer education. #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @ianaddison @missphilbin @jamestsanders just depends on how you manage it ;-) #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | RT @lewis892: @urban_teacher Hit the nail on the head! But ipad are not just apps Wikis, Gdocs, Blogs web based but great on iPad #Ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @eslweb I wish we could legally purchase an app once and use it on all the schools iPads… #ukedchat @apple |

| SheliBB | @ianaddison @missphilbin @jamestsanders never said it was difficult. Just said it was easy on the iPad #ukedchat plenty of control too |
| eslweb | @lewis892 @urban_teacher @apple Interestingly, it's not Apple that controls the price on most Apps. If people wishtoshare they can #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @Gwenelope #ukedchat Get them to build and market the app... Could pay for the schools Ipads http://t.co/UJFulKO7 |
| YesICanFran | @anthonydking Onwards and upwards, we can do this people, we can transform invigorate and inspire! #Ukedchat #Ukedchat |
| anhalf | @nickotkdIV even better to have enough for 50% of the chn :-) #ukedchat |
| bartoneducation | RT @MissPhilbin: @eslweb #ukedchat what the inside of a computer looks like, see drawings! http://t.co/mvoHuUVj |
| KempsterD | RT @urban_teacher Ipads in schools are only effective when schools do there research to see what apps are effective in learning #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @nicoladarling78 @mobo40 I bought my own,then bought 45 for school :-) huge benefits and much better quality than other tablets #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | #ukedchat That ICT is more than Facebook, twitter, pinterest, etc ... It is a much broader spectrum that develops much creativity! |
| ICTtower | @eslweb Difficult. Perhaps that ICT should be a part of your life, not just a discrete subject taught in school. #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @ukedchat @eslweb #ukedchat Nothing is impossible... More a case of "I'm Possible" - 13 yr old CEO app developer http://t.co/UJFulKO7 |

| YesICanFran | @ICTwitz I have one in my dept. Fat Margery or "Twat" I call her. She has zero apps, a hair on her chin and thinks Word is an OS. #Ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @MissPhilbin I'd like to know more about e-portfolios. Could anyone tell me how they work? #ukedchat |
| JazzieDe | @SheiliBB @eslweb #ukedchat Thanks can't wait to look at this about ipad apps , great way to get advice and see good practice : ) |
| KempsterD | @eslweb @JazzieDe but I'm staggered someone should suggest that iPads are only 4 'respectful' pupils. This is how divisions r made #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @MissPhilbin @PeteJeffreys Do you have any links to a successful badge idea? I'd love to look into that! #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @MissAPatterson @petejeffreys @missphilbin Blackboard the Oracle DB? Or something else? #ukedchat |
| MissPhilbin | @PeteJeffreys I like the idea of awarding badges through an e-portfolio. I know teachers in US who are doing it successfully. #ukedchat |
| ICTwitz | @anhalf Indeed. Keeping up to date with ever changing technology is very difficult #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @eslweb @petejeffreys @missphilbin Blackboard has a great facility for e-portfolios #ukedchat |

| KempsterD | @eslweb @JazzieDe Before u decide about buying them ask yourself 'what do we want to achieve i.e imps in literacy, creativity, etc #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @PeteJeffreys @MissPhilbin I haven't seen any, but I do KNOW that they encourage kids to organise their work properly! #ukedchat |
| ICTwitz | RT @anhalf: @ICTwitz yes bcos we hav pcs in suite so diff to embed. Use laptops cross curricular when available #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @MissAPatterson Only discovered towards the end of the year but can see it being a great peer assessment/feedback tool #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @JanP65 @eslweb my fave iPad apps are here http://t.co/KcN1mepw I would like to make this blog more collaborative #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @MissPhilbin #ukedchat I like your thinking. Do you know of any research which shows e-portfolios to raise engagement/attainment? |
| MrOCallaghanICT | RT @tonyparkin: RT @ictwitz: I am interested to know whether people are doing more, or less ICT within primary schools #ukedchat |
| eslweb | I'm going to start to use e-portfolios next year. Going to use a Simple PowerPoint framework. Kids got on well with it last term. #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | RT @MissAPatterson: @eslweb Netiquette is essential to teach - ie, how to appropriately communicate and interact online #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @MissAPatterson @eslweb #ukedchat Absolutely! May find some of the links on this report useful http://t.co/661HOg6G |
| YesICanFran | @ICTwitz These people need to be weeded out. #Ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @nicoladarling78 Voicethread is fantastic and pupils love it! Espec with the facility to add video/audio responses/peer feedback #ukedchat |
| MissPhilbin | @PeteJeffreys I think if we link it to their overall grade, and use comments to mark their work, they would use it. #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @MissPhilbin I keep thinking about them, but am worried that colleagues have enough to learn at the mo #ukedchat can't be a 'one-man-band' |
| eslweb | @Tech_Stories That's scarily true. Showed my class, I don't have to 'follow' you to find your Tweets... #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @MissPhilbin #ukedchat Would love to see how you get on. I tried briefly in KS2 and found it hard to get children into the habit of using |
| Tech_Stories | @eslweb #ukedchat As well as E-safety, impact SM can have on career!! Silly things they post as kids may still be found when they are older |
| JanP65 | @SheliBB Saw a great article today 'Tablets for Schools Research - Key Findings'. Worth a read. #Ukedchat |
| ICTwitz | @JanP65 Indeed, and we can inspire and encourage each other this way. It's those who don't, and their pupils, I worry about #ukedchat |
| MissPhilbin | #ukedchat What are ppl's thoughts on e-portfolios for assessment of work? Going to introduce them at KS3 through a blog or google site. |
| nicoladarling78 | @YesICanFran Just copying from an earlier tweet! #justsaying #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @JanP65 yes! Showed it to @j_santy (our year 5/4 teacher) very recently #ukedchat great resource! |
| eslweb | RT @SheliBB: “@eslweb: Let's talk about using #ipads Who is using them at the moment.Are they useful? #ukedchat” Love my iPad-and using them in schl too |
| JanP65 | @ICTwitz Exactly! That is why I love these chats.. so many great things happening in schools! #Ukedchat |
| SheliBB | “@eslweb: Let's talk about using #ipads Who is using them at the moment.Are they useful? #ukedchat” Love my iPad-and using them in schl too |
| MissAPatterson | @eslweb Netiquette is essential to teach - ie, how to appropriately communicate and interact online #ukedchat |
| ICTwitz | @JanP65 I agree, and find it disturbing in many respects. Good for the late 1990's early 2000's!! #ukedchat |
| nickotkdIV | @eslweb we have someone come in each year. Then Website at beginning of each term! #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @JanP65 @PeteJeffreys I'm looking at our scheme of work and wondering about changing. What do others use? #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @SheliBB There is a great Inanimate Alice resource on Promethean Planet. Have you seen it? #Ukedchat |
| eslweb | If you'd like a new curriculum. Here's one I nicked earlier: http://t.co/es4NkFln #ukedchat with assessment levels. |
| YesICanFran | @nicoladarling78 It probably shouldn't be capitalised for a start #justsaying #Ukedchat |
| cj3cj3cj3 | @YesICanFran What does that mean? #Ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @lewis892 @cj3cj3cj3 I like that idea, a motivational tool too #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @nicoladarling78 @nickotkdIV @ICTwitz @eslweb Agreed and also into the higher #edtech kinetic stratosphere #Ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @eslweb interested in this and would like to know more #ukedchat How does digital Literacy work for you? |
| cj3cj3cj3 | @eslweb but what form are the results in? NC Levels? #Ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @eslweb and @KnikiTea showed us a fab PowerPoint in the style of inanimate Alice recently. Was inspiring #ukedchat |
| eslweb | E-Safety? What do you think we should be teaching? #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @ICTwitz I think it does still happen in places... #Ukedchat |
| eslweb | RT @MissAPatterson: @Tech_Stories @lewis892 @kanda_hh Esafety ... Netiquette ... Absolutely essential!! #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @cj3cj3cj3 yes ideally i'd also like students to tick off what they know and it will tell them what level they are working at. #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | RT @MissAPatterson: @Tech_Stories @lewis892 @kanda_hh Esafety ... Netiquette ... Absolutely essential!! #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | RT @MissAPatterson: ICT needs to be made relevant to the pupils, like any subject content #ukedchat |
| cj3cj3cj3 | @lewis892 so what are you going to enter in that form? Levels? #Ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | @nickotkdIV @ICTwitz @eslweb I agree, I try and link ICT across the curriculum as much as possible #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @MissAPatterson I've only used it for watching courses making courses is new i'll be testing out this summer http://t.co/DOBTo7QR #ukedchat |
| brynll | @bartoneducation Thanks for the @XLR8camps RT. We still have 6 weeks to go and look forward to working with @zondle. A great team #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @cj3cj3cj3 Mainly synthesizing standards-based thematic hierarchical indeterminate convergence models of #edtech You? #Ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @Tech_Stories @lewis892 @kanda_hh Esafety ... Netiquette ... Absolutely essential!! #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @lewis892 @cj3cj3cj3 Yes the results end up in a Spreadsheet. Really easy to use #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @Tech_Stories @kanda_hh Their feedback is vital, I think parents should be included as much as possible #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @cj3cj3cj3 Looking at creating a Gform that links to a Google spreadsheet…. somehow? #ukedchat |
| eslweb | Let's talk about using #ipads Who is using them at the moment..Are they useful? #ukedchat |
| ICTwitz | @JanP65 Sorry for delayed response!!! Does anyone still teach ICT as a discreet subject within primary? #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @lewis892 @kanda_hh #ukedchat Do students get taught responsible use of social media in ICT, or in any other classes as part of curriculum? |
| eslweb | I'd consider getting Google Apps. Mostly 'coz its free and you don't have to config a server yourself. #ukedchat Took me 15 mins. to setup. |
| cj3cj3cj3 | How are you assessing whatever you choose to teach in Sept? #Ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @tonyparkin We are embracing 1:1 impactive scaffolding;-et vous? #Ukedchat |
| ICTwitz | And the implementation of iPads/Tablets in schools. Is this having an impact in ICT learning? #ukedchat Anyone any plans for this? |
| MissAPatterson | @lewis892 To be honest I don't know much about iTunes U, does it allow same functions as a standard VLE? #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @MissAPatterson @kanda_hh #ukedchat Imagine that helps with parental engagement with a number of benefits... |
| nicoladarling78 | @PeteJeffreys I've been taking a look at #ReThinkingICT as well as http://t.co/lgaKh3u9 not sure how much to alter at the moment.. #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | RT @Tech_Stories: @lewis892 @PeteJeffreys @collegiatehigh #ukedchat Inspiring teacher's enthusiasm for subject shines through on pen & paper and on Ipads. Lol |
| eslweb | @JazzieDe I'd say yes, because of the impact they could have on literacy but only if you have reasonably respectful pupils #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @lewis892 @PeteJeffreys @collegiatehigh #ukedchat Inspiring teacher's enthusiasm for subject shines through on pen & paper and on Ipads. Lol |
| PrimaryGTP | @kanda_hh We are collecting lesson plans all yr to review content ahead of re-write. Plus skills audit for teaching staff inc TAs #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @MissAPatterson With iTunes U now allowing teachers to make their own courses do we need a VLE?? #ukedchat |
| tonyparkin | RT @ictwitz: I am interested to know whether people are doing more, or less ICT within primary schools #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @eslweb @brightertyger @nicoladarling78 I agree, I use wikis through Moodle in my online music course with 30 pupils, a great tool #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @kanda_hh We've got a facebook, twitter, google + and wordpress blog all linked together which we will use this September #ukedchat |
| JazzieDe | #ukedchat To buy some ipads for primary or not? Value for money? What do you use them for that laptops and PCs can't do? |
| ukedchat | Nearly half way through #ukedchat with @eslweb this week, talking #ict for the new school year #edtech http://t.co/z9mg582d |
| Tech_Stories | @PeteJeffreys @JanP65 #Ukedchat Might like this article - http://t.co/NR4j9Zbg |
| MissAPatterson | @kanda_hh Our school has introduced an ezine which is emailed to a huge list of parents monthly to keep them up to date #ukedchat |
| MissPhilbin | #ukedchat Totally changed Year 9 and I trailed it at end of term see http://t.co/qaA6fSRe Going to change some of Yr 7 and 8 and keep some. |
| lewis892 | @Tech_Stories @PeteJeffreys @collegiatehigh Absolutely, we are lucky to have an enthusiastic yr7 team Shiny tools are nice as well #ukedchat |
| JazzieDe | RT @Tech_Stories: @PeteJeffreys @lewis892 @collegiatehigh #ukedchat Always need inspiring teacher regardless of subject or how flashy the teaching tools... |
| eslweb | @BrighterTyger @nicoladarling78 Wikis are great.. I use them with my Economics class too. #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @7puzzle Thanks for that, looks great!! #ukedchat |
| nicoladarling78 | RT @BrighterTyger: #ukedchat Collaborative wikis (computer supported collaborative learning - #CSCL) in Literacy for book reviews. |
| Tech_Stories | @PeteJeffreys @lewis892 @collegiatehigh #ukedchat Always need inspiring teacher regardless of subject or how flashy the teaching tools... |
| eslweb | Tweaking except for year7,which I am teaching personally this year. But I took a VERY liberal interpretation of #ictcurric before. #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @JanP65 Completely agree - there's too much jumping on bandwagons for tech without focussing on learning & why #Ukedchat |
| kanda_hh | @ukedchat any schools doing anything to keep parents up to date with new technology? #ukedchat |
| BrighterTyger | @eslweb #ukedchat I think you're right about Microsoft Office tools. Onenote is actually quite useful and can be collaborative - Skydrive. |
| 7puzzle | @MissAPatterson Totally agree, and you must check out http://t.co/C0vfjtZW too! #ukedchat |
| mjbensly | RT @eslweb: @SheliBB @ukedchat Me Too. I even chucked a Strapped for Cash page together: http://t.co/BF03in8x #ukedchat |
| brynll | On the subject of ICT, Harry @XLR8camps said today: 'The best part has been the ICT....making our own superheroes'. #ukedchat #Lincoln |
| kanda_hh | @PrimaryGTP We are the same - small changes as we go, but nothing huge until we've had more time. #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | In sept I plan for pupils to continue filming using flip cam, uploading and editing their work, giving audacity audio description #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | “@eslweb: @SheliBB @ukedchat Me Too. I even chucked a Strapped for Cash page together: http://t.co/QbBIoLxw #ukedchat” Great idea! |
| ukedchat | @YesICanFran Very kind of you to say #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @PeteJeffreys Another teaching tool to be used when they add, enhance, improve the learning. Not just because they are there. #Ukedchat |
| PrimaryGTP | @ukedchat Is anyone leaving their ICT curr as is this year? We've not had time to re-write. May tweak it #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @PeteJeffreys Other things are needed but iPod touches are used. Could simply be note taking, taking photo of the board etc.. #ukedchat |
| eslweb | I think the MS Office tools can be very inspiring and fun if taught in the right way. My kids love this: http://t.co/nzusq2YK #ukedchat |
| nickotkdIV | @MissAPatterson like your ideas #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @YesICanFran I'm disappointed to hear that you haven't read vygotsky in the original Russian yet... ;) #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @lewis892 @JanP65 @collegiatehigh #ukedchat How are iPod Touches used in every lesson? Surely there are times when something else is needed? |
| BrighterTyger | #ukedchat Collaborative wikis (computer supported collaborative learning - #CSCL) in Literacy for book reviews. |
| YesICanFran | @Ukedchat This chat is very invigorating inspiring not to mention innovative. #Ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | @nickotkdIV Good Q!! Poss modernise the scenarios so pupils can relate to today, but still ensure core skills are being developed #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @kanda_hh @ukedchat #ukedchat Usually I would agree but given pace of change... May be worth speaking to cutting edge companies for input? |
| JanP65 | @cj3cj3cj3 Sorry, bad example. What I meant was teaching how to create in real world context, not skills.... does that make sense? #Ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @JanP65 Not at the moment but I'll develop a rolling/flexible curriculum each half term. I'll plan with each team to fit alongside #Ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @eslweb FFS You're really behind in your terminology. It's all about embracing deconstructionist content #UKedchat #Ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @JanP65 @PeteJeffreys technology is in every lesson via an iPod tocuh for each student @collegiatehigh #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @SheliBB @ukedchat Me Too. I even chucked a Strapped for Cash page together: http://t.co/aMfAkYFQ #ukedchat |
| SheliBB | @ukedchat @eslweb I'm a big fan of anything free! Kodu, scratch, photostory, gdocs, blogging, avatars are top of my list to teach #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @lewis892 Absolutely #Ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @JanP65 #ukedchat Agree, and the answer is varied as with everything I suspect. Only just starting on this journey so watch this space... |
| cj3cj3cj3 | @JanP65 I disagree - spreadsheets can be used to create all sorts of systems and should not be 'taught in maths' #Ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @PeteJeffreys Do you follow a 'scheme of work'? #Ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @JanP65 It should positively invigorate. I talk about this in my lecture "Invigorate don't Constipate-21C Tech EXPLOSION!" #Ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @PeteJeffreys Absolutley project based learning encompassing all subjects ICT underpinig it this is our y7's @collegaitehigh #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @PeteJeffreys Out of interest, how much do the teachers integrate technology in 'regular' class activities. That is very import... #Ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @lewis892 #ukedchat Wouldn't knock it... Apparently USA is short of data analysts with a staggering 150 million job vacancies |
| eslweb | What about the idea of digital Literacy? #ukedchat |
| dwsm | @outdooradventu1 haven't been able to get hold of enough of them-going with Arduino instead #ukedchat |
| eslweb | We're looking at: What are you thinking of teaching in ICT next year... #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @nickotkdIV Cat memes and rule 34? #Ukedchat #Ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @lewis892 A curriculum shouldn't constrain. #Ukedchat |
| outdooradventu1 | IS any school using raspberrypie in September? #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @JanP65 #ukedchat They come to me in ICT suite and I will team teach with their normal class teacher & TAs to help skills gap |
| BrighterTyger | @eslweb Thanks for the #raspi lesson ideas. Inspiring! #education #ukedchat |
| nickotkdIV | @MissAPatterson how do we do this? #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @eslweb @JanP65 #ukedchat Wonder how many computer whiz kids it will inspire... More productive to be coding than gaming |
| nickotkdIV | RT @MissAPatterson: ICT needs to be made relevant to the pupils, like any subject content #ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @lewis892 It's time we took that mutherfucker down. #Ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | ICT needs to be made relevant to the pupils, like any subject content #ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | MT "@lewis892: ICT needs creative. #ukedchat" Couldn't agree more, but doesn't all learning need to be creative to be engaging? |
| JanP65 | @Tech_Stories So like teaching the history of technology as well? Looking a current inventors not just early ones? #Ukedchat |
| MissPhilbin | @Tech_Stories #ukedchat No, but all our ICT sets are named after important people in computing like Berners, Jobs, Hopper, Lovelace, Turing |
| lewis892 | @JanP65 Agree I did a lesson with Google Earth Maths & Geog Kids loved it Don't want to be constrained by the national curriculum #ukedchat |
| nickotkdIV | @ICTwitz @eslweb we now have ICT links in most foundation subjects: Science, History, geography, DT, Art. All need ICT links #ukedchat |
| eslweb | RT @JazzieDe: @lewis892 Think we have to base teaching on what the kids need and want to learn #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @PeteJeffreys Do they come to you in a computer suite? Or do you go to them in class to upskill unconfident teachers? #Ukedchat |
| YesICanFran | @lewis892 I'd say I 20C Learner is one who has evolved beyond 4d edtech architectures #Ukedchat #Ukedchat |
| eslweb | @Tech_Stories @MissPhilbin Ray Tomlinson off the top of my head... #ukedchat |
| Tech_Stories | @eslweb @MissPhilbin #ukedchat Think the geniuses who developed this industry should get more recognition - can you name inventors of email |
| JazzieDe | @lewis892 Think we have to base teaching on what the kids need and want to learn #ukedchat |
| MissPhilbin | @kanda_hh: is anybody slightly concerned about changing TOO much too soon? #ukedchat Yes, specially with non specialist ICT teachers in dept |
| PeteJeffreys | @eslweb More - I'll be spending 50% of my timetable teaching ICT to years 1-6 #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @lewis892 I agree. These things should now be 'taught' in context. I.e. using spreadsheets for maths. #Ukedchat |
| eslweb | RT @MissAPatterson: Collaboration using wikis, creating voicethread, Voki, prezi design - some of the ict I hope to teach #ukedchat |
| kanda_hh | @ukedchat is anybody slightly concerned about changing TOO much too soon? #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @JazzieDe As it is, If you've got PCs then no, but when the control software and hardware comes out then that's a different story.#ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | @kanda_hh Have you tried playing with Scratch on whatever PCs you have? Spec requirements are low so will run easily #ukedchat |
| MissAPatterson | Collaboration using wikis, creating voicethread, Voki, prezi design - some of the ict I hope to teach #ukedchat |
| lewis892 | ICT needs creative. Do kids really want to learn about spreadsheets, word and death by powerpoint? Is that a 21st century learner? #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @ICTwitz Do you mean as a discrete subject or throughout learning? #Ukedchat |
| JazzieDe | @eslweb Would you use it with KS2? #ukedchat |
| eslweb | RT @ICTwitz: I am interested to know whether people are doing more, or less ICT within primary schools #ukedchat |
| ukedchat | #ukedchat is underway - Subject is: What ICT shall we teach from September? With @eslweb |
| eslweb | @kanda_hh @ukedchat Loads. don't get distracted too much by the Pi. #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | @eslweb Thanks, hubby just explained to me. Sounds very interesting. #Ukedchat |
| PeteJeffreys | #ukedchat Planning ICT/computing from #ReThinkingICT wiki at http://t.co/4wv0fPkD then combining with cross curricular opportunities |
| MissPhilbin | RT @chrisleach78: Sorry I can't join #ukedchat tonight but can I just mention the #RethinkingICT wiki - http://t.co/6E47lyEp :) |
| ICTwitz | I am interested to know whether people are doing more, or less ICT within primary schools #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @JanP65 It's a cute little baby computer that can be used in D&T projects and played with for programming. #ukedchat |
| chrisleach78 | Sorry I can't join #ukedchat tonight but can I just mention the #RethinkingICT wiki - http://t.co/6E47lyEp :) |
| kanda_hh | @ukedchat What if you don't have the budget to for raspberry pi's etc - what can we teach using readily available resources? #ukedchat |
| JanP65 | Lots of people talking about the Raspberry Pi. I am ashamed to admit I don't know what it is! #Ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @eslweb Is the educational version out yet ? I thought they said Summer 2012 for a version with case and extras? @Raspberry_Pi #ukedchat |
| eslweb | Talking of #Raspi Here's some lesson ideas I made earlier. http://t.co/hb1UysdL #ukedchat |
| ukedchat | @JanP65 @eslweb Hope you enjoy #ukedchat then :-D |
| eslweb | @lewis892 It's released all right. They've really ramped up production. #ukedchat Most of the backlog has been cleared this week. |
| JanP65 | @eslweb Ahhh! It was the TweetChat I was looking for. Still new to this! #Ukedchat |
| lewis892 | @eslweb Programming with the rasberry pi would have been nice… if it were released #ukedchat |
| eslweb | RT @MissPhilbin: @eslweb History of computing culminating in a trip to the national museum of computing #ukedchat |
| eslweb | @JanP65 @ukedchat On Tweetdeck add a Column for the search #ukedchat |
| ukedchat | If you're joining #ukedchat for the first time, this site is good for keeping up with the conversation http://t.co/z9mg582d |
| eslweb | Shall we start by asking, what would you like to teach in Sept? |
