TELTA Module (Week 6)
The following is a selection of my contributions to the group chat on Slack from from Wednesday 15th February to Tuesday 21st February 2017. The Slack ‘Chat Channel’ was set up by Dr. Frances Boylan on 10th January 2017 and I joined the channel on 11th January 2017.

I’m playing back parts of some webinar recordings as part of the reflective process. I didn’t know that there is a ‘CC’ (Closed Caption) button which shows the subtitles for the webinar (at least in YouTube playbacks). The speech recognition software has Pauline handing over to a country (France) though rather than a person (Frances)! The important point is that this makes it possible to listen to the Match of the Day commentary for the multitaskers in our class. 😀

This is the Annotated Mindmap that I will be presenting at today’s TELTA Webinar:
Mindmap (created using Mindomo)

The Mindomo link above will invite you to set up a free Mindomo account if you so wish. This will allow you to click on the numerous links in my mindmap. If you don’t wish to set up a free Mindomo account, then I have attached a downloaded image (as a .PNG file) of the Mindomo mindmap to this email. This will obviously not allow you to click on the links contained in the original Mindomo mindmap.

RE: VIEWING MY MINDMAP IMAGE.
If you double-click on my mindmap image (above) and resize the resultant Slack window, the image also resizes. Moreover, clicking once on the image zooms in and once again zooms out. One can also pan the image from left to right in the Slack window containing the image.

@frances I’m not sure what the “Where” means in “where, why and how technologies could be integrated within their teaching, learning and assessment practices…” Does it mean “where” in the module? If so, for me that would be throughout all of my Geometry 1 Transition Year module. I have just used two sections (area of triangle and area of parallelogram) on my mindmap for the moment. I’m conscious that I have merely repeated that node (area and parallelogram) across Teaching, Learning and Assessment. However, the “where” in the module simply applies to all of the material within the TY module. I assume that “where’ does not mean location, i.e. classroom versus computer room versus home versus mobile? I’ll post this is the Webinar chat as well. Any advice here appreciated Frances.

Hi Gerry,

Hi Frances!
Frances Boylan [2:23 PM]
The ‘where’ can mean both actually. So it can be where in the module and for what types of activities could you see technologies enhancing the teaching, learning or assessment processes. and it can also mean the physical where – technologies do not have to be something that are employed at a distance only. You mentioned in your own presentation today certain apps that you can use with your students and you might note on your map whether this activity is happening in class or whether it’s something they are engaging with at home and bringing back into the classroom. I hope that helps. (edited)

@frances Yes, that helps. I’ll have a look at how I can change the Mindmap to incorporate your clarifications for the next iteration of my mindmap.

http://www.rooclick.com/index.html Have ye seen this? Looks kinda cool. And it’s free to individual teachers. Might be worth playing with. (edited)
Gerard Kilkenny [2:30 PM]
@frances Had a quick look at it. Interaction with video makes sense for learning of course. Will probably set up a teacher account. Schools cost a bit more: $299 per year.
