TeachMeet Melb – #GeniusHour at St. Mark’s PS

Today I  will be presenting at TeachMeet Melbourne on our school’s recent #GeniusHour projects. In 2013, I also presented at a TeachMeet describing how we were just getting started with #Geniushour with our students. Today’s presentation is about what we have since learnt from the second half of 2013.

The future of Maths is in your hands – Embrace IT!

Today I was privileged to deliver a keynote at the 50th Mathematics Association of Victoria annual conference at Latrobe University, Bundoora with Narissa Leung. Narissa and I were asked to bring an ICT spin and our perspective on the role of technology for maths education

Our keynote titled “The future of Maths is in your hands – Embrace IT!” was about the how, the why, and the now of the potential of ICT and mathematics for the plan – teach – assess cycle.

We shared example of some of our favourite tools like Onenote, Evernote, Diigo and Google Apps For Education. We also had a look at some great resources like Numberphile, Dr Tisdell’s Youtube Channel and Real World Math.

Unleashing the potential of Google Forms at #iii13

Tomorrow I have the pleasure of presenting a session at the Ignite, Innovate, Integrate conference at Kingswood Primary. This session is pretty much a re-run of a my workshop at ICTEV13 earlier this year.

The session is titled “Unleashing the potential of Google Forms”. The presentation will:

  • Demonstrate a step-by-step process to create a form for collecting data.
  • Demonstrate how Google Forms are being used to create formative assessments in Mathematics to drive differentiated teaching for Year 5/6 students.
  • Examine “Flubaroo”, an add-on script which will correct forms automatically.
  • Discover and share other possibilities in using Google Forms in the classroom.

The prezi for the session can be found here or viewed below, and the list of resources can be accessed here.
