Notes from presentation with Travis Smith - microsoft specialist -education - held morning of 7th May 2015 at CPIT.
Mark Marshall CPIT ICT manager and Ann Taylor from Microsoft introduced Travis.
Mixed audience of schools and tertiary educators, administrators and IT.
A focus on using technology to achieve good learning outcomes for learners.
Went through 'high impact gradualism' - why education moves so slowly in the adoption of technology and things to prioritise to maximise impact of TEL.
Issuing hardware has not changed pedagogy - still content focused rather than learning focused. Deploying technology should lead to 'better' learning not replicate learning activities already common.
Need to have evidenced informed strategy, shift to collaboration platform, choice of device is actually critical, be deliberate in developing skills you think you are developing in students ( 21st collaborative learning design - 21CLD) and used data (learning analytics) better (see new line school use of customer relationship management CRM).
Need for institutions to align innovation to strategy and prioritise TEL that works (as per research informed) in the context. What are we trying to improve by using technology??
Need to establish pedagogical framework - and innovative teaching and learning is more likely to occur when there is a shared understanding of what it looks like ....
BYOD is NOT an approach to learning or pedagogy ... it's just how kids get device. Difficulty for pedagogy to be fully utilised if devices are to varied. Learning so often messy, multimodal and subject specific.
Used notetaking as an example - Mueller, P.A. & Oppenheimer D.M. (2014) the pen is mightier than the keyboard: advantages of longhand over laptop note taking. Psychological Science.
Choice of notetaking method and device, has impact on learning factual or conceptual facets.
Used OneNote as an example of annotating diagram to take notes. including embedding audio notes. and tracking of 'making thinking visible' through maths problem. Also uses onenote as his presentation tool. - see possibilities of onenote
Mangen, 2008, Mangen & Velaym 2010, Oviatt, 2006 - annotation on digital texts leads to depth of processing, reflection on meaning, ability to integrate and critique knowledge.
version one learning implies the cogitative process and version 2 is the 'final version' encapsulating concepts. 2 is high fidelity, version 1 is low fidelity. Onenote provides capability to bring both together.
The design of educational interfaces - Sharon Oviatt - thinking tools require stylus.
Paper is not going away, just getting smarter - how do we use to help learning?? embed animation? making concepts visual assist with supporting abstract thinking. = using fluid math app
Provided example of Adobe's latest application to make editing of images intuitive and 'instant'. see creative cloud
Monash University intervention by asking lecturers to include 40% ppt slide which require annotation. Use ctrl P to bring pen into ppt. Add / sketch in - on the fly, allowing for better narrative of how thinking occurs. Provide the version 1 not just the version 2 as a completed ppt slide.
Need to remember, digital collaborative problem solving is a specialised skill. Collaborative problem-solving over distance using real world tools a developing field. Use white board feature on Lync.
Future possibilities being build with surface table, allowing sharing of artefacts across distance or augmented reality through hololens.
Preparation for working in a digital environment requiring collaboration at a distance now a 'must have' skill. Demonstrated real time authoring / collaboration on word online.
Discussed capabilities of office 365 for education. Provides access to 5 iterations of the software for students. Provided example of how to set up onenote to share folder with students. office 365 has a onenote class notebook creator. Demonstrated how to set up a 'course' onenote folder, allowing teacher to see all students' work. Teacher can provide feedback and students will see latest version of their work - with feedback. opens possibility of using onenote as a form of LMS.
Finished with demo of office mix. (see my first attempt - from learning a trade project)
two other presentations from Travis - on collaboration and onenote for schools.
