The important difference is: sharing. She shares everything. By doing this, she opens up her <a href="http://allanahk.edublogs.org/">virtual vault</a> of immense eLearning knowledge for all to learn. </span><span style="font-size: large;">We are all here for our kids. Sharing your knowledge is really the greatest thing that you can do for your profession. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">To live in a vacuum is not human. We need to pass this message on to our kids. Does an idea come to fruition without being shared? Unlikely. It may be still hazy in your imagination. Sharing is synonymous with learning.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The sharing theme was also prevalent the keynote, </span><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1avMYh3" style="font-family: Arial;">The Sharing Nexus: Connecting, Learning and the 21st Century Educational Environment</a> given by </span></span><a href="https://twitter.com/mpesce" style="font-size: x-large;">Mark Pesce</a>.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's easy to feel like you're now drowning in a tsunami of information. I know. I feel it. <a href="https://twitter.com/virtuallykaren">Karen Melhuish Spencer</a> proffered her opinion on how to positively respond to this. Simple yet profound. Her Friday workshop: <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/core-ed.ac.nz/effective-elearning/home">Effective eLearning: Kickstart the way you integrate</a> gave us the ideas and resources to design our own mission. Key message: Start with your students needs. Seems so obvious doesn't it. Go back to the beginning, think about your learning intentions and weave the tools into your activities and learning experiences: the WHAT and the HOW.</span></div>

Their breakout <a href="http://bit.ly/1avyjm6">Self Managing Learners &amp; BYOD</a> was exceptional. So powerful to see authentic examples of eLearning impacting on student achievement. Loved the fantastic practical routines they shared and their clear and simple ideas for embedding eLearning throughout their daily practice. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">A standout message for me from their breakout was to open everything up. Forget being precious about your planning, keeping it to yourself. It's for the kids. Write it in 'kids speak' and share it with them online. Give kids the big picture. We like to have it to know where we are going. Why don't we give it to them?</span></div>

<br />
"CORE Education consultant Mark Osborne asks how can we take the learning opportunities available around the world and bring them into our classrooms so that our learners are not limited by our skills and our abilities, and at the same time how can we take the learning that we’re doing in class and make it accessible to our students wherever they are in the world."<br />

There are 21 confirmed. Of the 20 attending in the morning, 13 will be sharing from ULearn. We will be sitting in groups of 4, then rotating around. Everyone getting a chance to hear from everyone. It is expected that those who didn't attend ULearn share ideas or examples of eLearning from your class or school. It's all interesting and beneficial, even if it's been seen before, it is the pedagogy and the way we use tools (not the tools themselves) which are important. All of us are sure to have connections, ideas and examples to keep the professional conversations going.<br />
<br />
At the end of the B.Tict session, we will add examples right here, on this blog.<br />

The device we chose was a netbook. This has been successful with parent demand leading to four classes this year.<br />
<br />
Near the end of the year <a href="https://twitter.com/chrissiebutler" target="_blank">Chrissie Butler</a> from <a href="https://twitter.com/coreeducation" target="_blank">Core Education</a> visited and filmed three short videos which focussed on the impact our classrooms were having on literacy. For two videos, Chrissie weaved stories around two students, Teva and Tyler. The third was about the 1:1 programme making a difference for all learners. They turned out great. The videos appeared on the <a href="http://elearning.tki.org.nz/Teaching/Curriculum/Learning-areas/English" target="_blank">Ministry's Enabling eLearning site</a>. It's wonderful to see Irongate School and Kimi Ora Community School now on the site. C'mon the Bay!<br />
<br />
Here are the videos below. I have had a few requests to view them and I thought it would be good to have them on the B.Tict blog. For our school, they have been neat to look back on as we continue our learning journeys. Thanks, Chrissie!<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(Apologies: If you're not into Twitter yet, skip the hash tag talk. I have chosen to use it to illustrate how Twitter can help educators learn and connect together.)</span></i><br />
<br />
<a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23ictHB&src=typd" target="_blank">#ictHB </a>is a hash tag coined by <a href="https://twitter.com/Juliet_Revell" target="_blank">Juliet Revell</a> for our first Beacon Teachers of ICT meeting in term one. It has been wonderful to see that hash tag catch on a little. Nowhere has the meaning of that hash tag been more personified by the EduCamp hosted by Juliet and <a href="https://twitter.com/matt_odowda" target="_blank">Matt O'Dowda </a>at Richmond School on Saturday 25th of May. In fact, the event was much bigger than our beautiful bay (which put on its coldest, most grim Saturday of the year so far). I was amazed to see inspirational teachers travel from across the North Island, ready to collaborate and share. It came together under the hash tag <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23educampHB&src=" target="_blank">#educampHB</a> and it was for the majority of us, our first experience of an "unconference". This means a user generated conference - which Juliet explained well in the previous post.<br />
<br />
The Smackdown below gave users a chance to choose their topics and we went into two rounds of four different workshops from there. For me, I felt proud to learn from others as well as to share and help other people learn more about topics such as Google Apps and Teacher Dashboard that they were interested in. It was also a privilege to be in such distinguished company and encouraging to see the enthusiasm of Hawke's Bay teachers and educators. #ictHB all the way!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Saturday saw Kerry Elphick and me rising at the ungodly hour of 4am. What on earth for, I hear you ask..? <a href="http://educampwelly.wikispaces.com/home">Educamp Wellington</a> was taking place at Wellington Girls College. <a href="http://educampnz.wikispaces.com/home">Educamp</a> is a user generated 'unconference.' It's free! No real agenda is set, and it's up to you to determine the focus for the sessions, grow your learning and have fun.

<span style="font-size: large;">Educamp Wellington was hosted by </span><a href="http://traintheteacher.wordpress.com/" style="font-size: x-large;">Stephanie Thompson</a><span style="font-size: large;">, of Tawa Intermediate. A few hours of driving was a small price to pay to meet Stephanie, an exceptionally knowledgeable and uber tech savvy teacher. Stephanie has recently returned from being made an <a href="http://traintheteacher.wordpress.com/2013/03/31/weekly-reflection-apple-distinguished-educator-ade2013/">Apple Distinguished Educator</a> (ADE) in Bali. To balance that accolade, she is also one of nine NZ teachers that were invited to be inducted into the </span><a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/8690918/Tech-savvy-teachers-join-Google-academy" style="font-size: x-large;">Google Teacher Academy</a><span style="font-size: large;"> last week in Sydney. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our day started with introductions and moved on to an e-Learning Smackdown where participants shared ideas within a two minute timeframe. There is no pressure to share, but I found that it's great if you do, often people haven't heard of the thing that you may think is old hat! The ideas were recorded on a <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/mkk.school.nz/presentation/d/1Cy600bdl_sCmQCSBXnnLY2GkwK-B6COmlNWqZH8fbY0/edit#slide=id.p">Google presentation</a> and all participants were encouraged to collaborate on this. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The next part of the day ensured that you own your learning. Participants were asked to write what they are able to share, and what they would like to learn about onto a post it note. The notes were collated and sessions drawn up based on the learner's needs. </span><span style="font-size: large;">You were free to "vote with your feet" at any time, and move to another session should you want to. </span><br />

<br />
Yesterday I attended <a href="http://learningatschool.core-ed.org/" target="_blank">Learning @ School</a>, the Core Education roadshow. The slideshow above is a version of the presentation I spoke from during a breakout that Parkvale School hosted. We began with Mark Gifkins talking about our journey into trialling one to one classrooms. Then I took over, talking about what it has been like from a teacher's perspective.<br />
<br />
Jody Garland and I were the teachers in our initial one to one classrooms in 2012. We set them up with the expertise and support of Sandy McFadyen. Our model has been largely adapted from <a href="http://www.ptengland.school.nz/" target="_blank">Point England School</a>, who we visited in 2011. Jody and I were also lucky to attend a breakout (on setting up one to one classrooms) that Helen King hosted at uLearn 2011. That was very helpful! The philosophy of <b>Learn, Create, Share</b> which Point England shared has guided me in my practice. I now preach it to anybody who will listen!<br />
<br />
The Slideshare presentation lacks the videos (due to the free version formatting). Here are links to them if you are interested:<br />

Te Mata<br />
<br />
We have 4 iPads per junior class, 6 per middle classes, and 1 to 1 in the senior school.<br />
<br />
Maths- we don't use games much- only for specific skills for eg to practice something at the end of a task board.<br />
<br />
Danielle has used the iPads to teach strategies.<br />
-Explain Everything... Kids explain their thinking while writing their working out. This has been previously taught so that the children know exactly what to do.<br />
Kids can also reflect on their work if they make a mistake by adding text<br />
<br />
Juniors<br />
-doodle buddy- use pictures, backgrounds and text to show maths. For example, what makes ten, practising writing teen numbers etc<br />
-popplet- take photos of kids and get them to brainstorm what makes 10 Screen chomp- children can write down a problem and record their thinking as they go.<br />
<br />
Good ideas for fast finishers<br />
-solve outbreak<br />
-rainforest heros- tauranga<br />
-fit brains<br />
- origami- use actual paper but kids learn to follow instructions etc -kid fit -science 360<br />
<br />
Pad gadget- top 200 educational apps<br />
Jackie sharp- both good websites to find apps to put onto your iPads<br />
