influx of 1:1 computing in schools
This being predominately tablet & netbook
devices

13. Why?

14. Anywhere
Anytime
This is the essence of
mobile technology
Giving access 24/7
And for students to be
able to ‘learn on the hop’,
is a remarkable thing

16. More technology.
More access.
More learning.

17. Australian Curriculum
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) Capabilities
...Students also progressively develop skills in using information
technology when conducting research, a range of digital
technologies to create, publish and present their learning, and
communication technologies to collaborate and communicate with
others both within and beyond the classroom...

18. “Teachers need to
stop saying, ‘Hand
it in,’ and start
saying ‘Publish It,’
instead”
Alan November

19. Create & Collaborate
NOT
Consume

20. So...
How can all of what’s
been mentioned assist
you in your teaching
fields?

21. The biggest driver of
innovation in education
is teachers.
Use the technology.
Take risks and try new things.
Create a PLN of like minded
teachers and collaborate and
share what you do.

22. The use of ICT in Geography enables students
to see ‘first hand’ what they cannot normally
through being situated in a classroom.

24. Google Earth

25. Why should students use it?
Students can use Google Earth to:
- Create tours of their school or community.
- Study climate change and the effects of global warming.
- Track earthquakes in real-time.
- Travel under the surface of the ocean.
- Walk through some of the world’s forests, like the
Amazon, and explore species-specific 3D trees.
- Not only view the Earth but also the sky, Moon and Mars.
- Explore the animal kingdom and endangered species
with National Geographic content.
earth.google.com

26. Why should teachers use it?
Teachers can use Google Earth to:
- Set the scene for geography, history, literature, astronomy
and other lessons.
- Show historical imagery of an area.
- Adapt traditionally abstract lessons to the “real-world”
by having students interact with virtual real-time data
such as weather, earthquakes, bird migrations, etc.
- Use Street View with 3D imagery, including trees, to take
the students on virtual field trips.

30. Geography has long been acknowledged
as an important vehicle for the use of
ICT. It has the ability to fully engage and
motivate pupils in geographical concepts
using authentic data and information
sources, and enables teachers to
concentrate more closely
on teaching geographical skills, whilst
providing students with a pedagogical
sense of location and place.

31. Looking forward... the future...
“All too often today we are
giving young people cut
flowers when we should be
teaching them to grow their
own plants.”
John W Gardner
