iLearn Professional Learning Day

Today Year 4 teachers, principals and other relevant teachers from the 8 schools in the iLearn project came together to start their professional learning journey to support the 1 to 1 iPad learning in their schools. 

The learning intentions for the day were: 

• understand how the iPad can be utilised as a contemporary 21st Century learning tool
• apply the TPACK and SAMR pedagogical frameworks when designing learning experiences with the iPad
• read & reflect on using the iPad to support learning in the Literacy Block 
• compose a multimodal digital text using a set of authoring apps
• identify practical classroom considerations when students are composing digitally eg links to English Syllabus; workflows for composing, sharing & saving student work 
• learn how to comment on a blog post to share your learning 
• compose a multimodal digital text using a set of authoring apps 

Participants utilised the knowledge around contemporary learning, pedagogy and iPad workflows to create various responses and texts during the day using their iPad.
