Student Centred Learning - Minecraft

Putting students at the centre of the learning process and allowing them to learn through areas that they are passionate about is the most important thing.

Listening to the level of talk, discussion, conversation around Minecraft you would be silly not to allow students to explore their learning or have a chance to learn through this media. The skills that they use and explore are amazing from problem solving to collaboration, instinct to imagination.

Teach for tomorrow, learn for today. Lets the kids be the reason we get up and come to school each day.

This is a 45 min collaborative learning time on Minecraft, driven by the students. They are amazing.

iPad & iPod Curriculum Integration

Had a great bunch of teacher visit from Maunu Primary School in Whangarei. They are at the start of the same journey that we went on as a school in trying to implement iDevices into the classroom. This is how I use the devices in my Reading and Writing Task-boards. These task-boards have been created using Prometheans Activ Inspire software. 

This a screenshot of my task-board for Reading and the activities that I use.

And my Maths task-board.

The flp charts look slightly different when being used,  the icons below the task-board are hidden. If anyone wants a copy of the flp chart just drop me an e-mail and I will send them through.
