In order to do new things, students must learn.
More Change is needed.
• The “teacher” MUST become the “expert learner”
…unless we want our students to start to say:

Well done Barbara!
Canterbury South just got their Connected Classroom - KS really wanted to see what it was about, so an impromptu videoconference was arranged with Bambos the next day just to say hello. Barbara’s mission now is to master the IWB.

Some Sydney Region K-6 Teachers have changed…
• Craig.Snudden@Engadine• Year 5 teacher
• Proving daily you don’t need the latest gear• Class Blog, Wiki, TeacherTube Producer, School Website
Master, Stop-Motion Animator, Smartboard Operator, Twitterer, Lifelong-Learner
5S@EngadinePS
A Shared mini computer lab is at the back of the room - 8 Windows PCs and 4 eMacs with a Windows Server - The neighbouring 5/6 class rarely uses the lab but sees 5S in there every day, with students usually working independently
The Smartboard is the ONLY board in the classroom - It’s on all day and all students use it too
TeacherTube is a major repository for much of the work that 5S does with multiple videos published each week.
The class has produced over 20 separate videos covering multiple KLAs, with over 4,000 views to date.
From debating to cooking to maths to stop-motion animation and science experiments.
Video camera, web-cam and now withPocket video cam.
They use MovieMaker, iMovie, ICanAnimate – Windows and Mac

Mr Snudden’s Wiki – a new direction for the class - A place to catalogue links to resources used in class - Those resources are not lost when a topic has been completed - Some Wiki pages have student ownership – eg. Sports Report Page, plus individual student pages - News, pics, videos and discussions – all in one place.
This is a closed wiki, only
accessible via invitation.
5S@EngadinePS
5S EPS Blog – another new direction for the class - The 5S Blog has only just started - The school pays $5 per month to allow managed class access - It will be a publicly-visible repository for their classwork, providing a potential worldwide audience

5S@EngadinePS
The Engadine PS Website – gateway to the community - While Craig started the website using the new DET Service, he has now managed to get all staff at the school to contribute - News, photos, newsletters and permission notes - Easy to update from home and can even embed class videos

- Craig is a self-learner, but he relies on his PLN to keep him up to date with everything ed-tech. An active Twitterer, a member
of the Sydney Region ICT Forum and regular ICT Day attendee.- Now they create DVDs, on-line surveys and shared web links- Just three short years ago, Craig was doing none of this in class.
