TeachMeetNZ: e-Learnings:Elevating NCEA into the cloud, a reflection

Today I presented at U-learn - although I wasn't at the conference over in Hamilton I was in sunny Gisborne!  I was fortunate enough to be part of the TeachMeetNZ virtual presentation that was hosted by +Sonya Van Schaijik.  Presentations for TeachMeet are generally about pedagogy and technology and there have been hundreds of sessions spread across the world over the past few years, google hangouts are the method which we use to share experiences.  Our presentation was in front of a live audience at the conference as well as being streamed.  It was a fun experience and I particularly enjoyed the presentations from the other educators involved, it was a great way to share as well as collaborate and I look forward to being involved again when I come to present my findings after my enquiry as an e-fellow with CORE education.  Here are the slides from my talk.....

Motivation and homework follow up...

Last week I wrote about setting a homework challenge to learn muscles of the body as an online game - the students then had to post screen grabs on google+ to show they had done it and to be in contention for the hallowed prize of 'King of the Muscles' and a cafe voucher. I wasn't quite sure how it was going to go, but by Thursday the buzz in all my senior classes was about ' poke-a-muscle '.  The boys were so excited about it they'd post a score, and then find out that someone had beaten them, and then rush out of the class at interval to get to a computer and beat the top score.  I even had an email on Saturday (two days after the due date) from two boys who had been practicing and spent the afternoon working together to try and beat the original high scores they had submitted with the homework!!!
