This document outlines an agenda for a session on effective e-learning. The session will explore why e-learning is important, current examples of e-learning curriculum, and developing starting points for implementing e-learning in term 4. Attendees will learn about expectation and engagement in e-learning, the TPACK framework for integrating technology, pedagogy and content, and designing new learning pathways that bring together expectation and engagement. By the end of the session, participants will have explored the principles of effective e-learning, examined examples, and connected with colleagues to plan e-learning approaches for their schools.

16. Teacher expectation & student engagement

17. “In deep expressions of
practice, students' learning
activities and the curriculum/
knowledge content they
engage with are
shaped in ways that
reflect the input and
interests of
students,
as well as
what teachers know to be
important
knowledge.”

perspective. New Zealand: Ministry of Education

and technologies

34. Moving to deep understanding
My place in the sun - understanding why places can be
important to us.
• Identify one important place where people go during
the summer.
• Describe the kinds of places where people spend
their summer.
• Compare the places - how are they similar? different?
• Make general statements about the kinds of
places that are important to people.

doorway”
http://www.flickr.com/photos/learnscope/2547026015/sizes/m/
“Once we have
developed a rich
question, we use:
> photos gathered on
Flickr,
> recorded video
interviews with family,
and
> examples online,
like Digistore,
to engage prior
knowledge on a topic.”

40. Diving deeper “Give me steps...or build me a
ramp”
“There is more than
one way to show
understanding - we
> sketch,
> digitally mind-
map,
> plan and draft ideas
using storytelling
apps,
> use a Voicethread
> curate images
as we prepare to
explore deeper....”

41. Sharing learning “Pathways as memorable as
the destination”
“We use tools to
> support
collaborative and
shared writing,
> flexible editing
and
> authentic
publication.
Producing ideas for real
purposes and
audiences has never
been easier.”

What might our focus question be?
“My students mainly draft
writing and then we type it
up neatly, or make posters
for the wall.To be honest,
the work feels like its
the same as it has
always been - I’m not
sure what the possibilities
are.”

51. engaging

✓ trialing
✓establishingWhat might our focus question be?
“We have tablets in the
classroom and we use
them mainly for research
and editing. Some students
want to be more creative
in the way they work. I
feel we could be
using technologies to
support the learning
process more
strategically.”

52. extending
✓ focus on learning
✓authentic use
✓shared roles
✓whole community
Image: Mark Pinder for the Guardian
“ I have begun to use
technologies to find new
pathways that suit
students’ passions
and needs. This has
meant designing tasks
differently to how I
have in the past.”
What might our focus question be?

53. empowering
✓ higher-order
✓ community driven
✓ networked &
blended
Image: chesbayprogram
“We integrate technologies
so that students’ learning is
personalised and richly
creative - and we make the
most of community and global
connections. Learning looks
completely different to a few
years ago.”
What might our focus question be?
