9 Online Projects http://www.thinkquest.org

10 How could you use social networking in Science teaching? Start a class network for communicating with students and parents Have students share work online Participate in an online project Collaborate with a school in another area or another country

11 Voicethreads http://www.voicethread.com

12 How could you use Voicethread in the Science curriculum? Start with a stimulus image or video clip Ask a focus question Have students respond – in text or by recording Note: Voicethread is more effective when collaborative – students can all see the responses

13 Wikis www.wikispaces.com www.wetpaint.com www.pbworks.com

14 Wikis www.wikispaces.com www.wetpaint.com www.pbworks.com

15 Have students gather and share resources Use as a means of communication for a class Use to build a body of knowledge Open discussion on a topic How could you use a wiki to enhance Science teaching? Use as a class web page

16 Blogs http://2mgems.blogspot.com/ http://juniorsblackburn.edublogs.org/2011/05/03/ discovering-new-mini-beasts/ http://juniormslearningjourney.blogspot.com/ http://prepblackburnsouth.blogspot.com/ BlogEd – NSW Department of Education’s secure students’ blogging site

17 How could you use blogging in the Science curriculum? Link to online information Post images and documents Post discussion and ideas Ask a focus question and expect responses Use to disseminate information and elicit comments Document an event

18 Critical Thinking and Problem - Solving

19 Inspiration and Kidspiration Software purchased and installed on local computers Graphic Organisers http://bubbl.us http://www.exploratree.com

20 Graphic Organisers http://www.wallwisher.com

21 How Could You Use Graphic Organisers in Your Classroom? Brainstorm what students know about a topic Structure and organise ideas Develop "what if" scenarios Compare and contrast

22 Learning Objects http://econtent.thelearningfederation.edu.au While you are at MQ, you may access learning objects through

23 Learning Objects

24

25 How Could You Use Learning Objects in Your Classroom? Use to reinforce a concept Provide engagement Use to consolidate a topic Create a supplementary activity Idea: PowerPoint for creating learning objects

26 Google Earth Add place markers Add images, text, video and more to placemarkers Use place marks to sequence lesson activities Draw a path between places Create a tour of the path Save a group of place marks as a.kmz file for reuse

27 Note the cluster of earthquakes Now look at the pattern of volcanoes

28 How could you use Google Earth in Science Built Environment: Compare built and natural environments Natural Environments: Investigate areas like the Great Barrier Reef, wilderness areas, to discuss the human impact Products and Services: Explore distribution of products and services Earth and Surroundings: investigate earthquakes, volcanoes, oceans Use for mapping and landforms Create a tour of specific places Use as a lesson sequence, adding activities to place markers

29 Games in the Classroom http://www.microscope.edu.au/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/education/ sysm/eco/flash/flash.shtml

30 Film making Xtranormal Photostory iMovie Adobe Premiere MovieMaker Stop Motion Pro Example removed for copyright reasons

31 Films and film-making http://www.brainpop.com

32 How could you use film-making in Science Creating Interviews Role playing Documenting evidence Recording procedures

33 Podcasting

34 How could you use podcasting in the Science curriculum? Creating Listening Audacity Garageband Recording observations Documenting procedures Role playing Summarise a topic by creating interviews ABC US Geological Survey Nature…and many more

35 Creativity and Innovation

36 Interactive Whiteboards Not just a tool Create student-centred innovative activities Use the 6000+ images, templates, interactive activities and resources in the Gallery Use the software as a “container” for your lesson sequences Link to websites, files, other pages, sound Add attachments – files, video clips, images Embed video clips

37 Interactive Whiteboards

38 How could you use interactive whiteboards in Science teaching? Use as a “container” for your lesson plan Have students prepare activities for others to share Demonstrate and present Use the interactivity to engage Create student-centred activities and games

39 Multimedia Posters Simple machines Weather Examples

40 How could you use Glogster in Science teaching? Review evidence Summarise a topic Use instead of Powerpoint for presentation
