The document summarizes a project at Nerang State School aimed at improving math outcomes for indigenous and non-indigenous students through problem-based teaching. Teachers participated in professional development using the Back To Front Math (B2FM) resource and completed action learning cycles. Student performance was assessed before and after the cycles. While results varied, long-term implementation is needed to fully realize benefits. Recommendations include establishing an encouraging classroom, using good questioning techniques, identifying misconceptions, and developing independent problem-based lessons after the B2FM subscription ends.

Importance of Technology in Educationeengelking

The CREaTION PROJECT aimed to spread concepts of social responsibility through secondary school curricula in Italy, Britain, and Romania. It involved 34 schools and over 650 students. Teachers received 15 hours of training on topics like energy saving, responsible consumption, and environmental protection using diverse teaching methods like games, videos, and classroom discussions. Evaluations found the trainings had mostly excellent results in improving students' understanding of social responsibility concepts, though teachers felt they could have benefitted from more training hours. The project demonstrated the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods but recognized the need for greater focus and resources to fully integrate social responsibility into educational systems.

A presentation from Connect More by Dale Clancy, independent learning specialist, Borders College. Pre-COVID alterations to the way that the electrical apprenticeship has been delivered, in a remote wide reaching area, has brought around positives in student engagement, skills and achievement during the current crisis. Teaching and learning has had to be adapted across the world, but in most cases assessment has not or has been less flexible. Is there a case now to alter the way learners are assessed now more than ever? This session briefly highlights the tools used to engage learners, skills they have developed, and obstacles in assessment which could be adopted to suit modern learners and society in both theory and practical environments.

The document summarizes findings from several studies on the impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools. It finds that ICT has positive impacts on student motivation, learning outcomes, and the development of skills when used effectively. However, most schools have only begun integrating ICT and are not using it to profoundly transform teaching and learning. The greatest benefits are seen in schools where teachers are experienced ICT users and have the capacity to incorporate it pedagogically. Barriers to effective ICT implementation include teachers' lack of skills and confidence with technology as well as schools' limited resources.

Learning Continuity: A Discussion with Susan Patrick, CEO of iNACOLBlackboard

Schools across the nation are preparing for the possibility that H1N1 will hit their student population, causing student and staff absences or quarantines. Forward-looking districts are planning now to ensure learning continuity not only for this pandemic, but for future extended student absences. Using examples and models from online learning can provide a framework for learning continuity during student absences and potential flu dismissals. Susan Patrick, CEO of the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, reviews short and long-term frameworks to help schools provide learning continuity through online learning. Susan has traveled the world identifying case studies for academic continuity and recently briefed the Department of Education on recommendations for uninterrupted student learning. During her travels, Susan identified that schools widely regarded as excellent share the following practices: • Train every teacher to teach online • Offer online learning in 100% of secondary schools • Provide all instructional materials digitally and online • Use a learning management system accessed by every teacher and secondary school to deliver course materials and track student progress. A Blackboard client, Briarcliff Manor School District, will also share how they will be using Blackboard to prepare for possible extended student absences.
