Visual Literacy, iPhone app, iPad resources, and Glean
Literacy and Visual Literacy in particular are key areas in the Australian Curriculum and General Capabilities.
Recently I presented about some ways to incorporate Visual Literacy with an iPad at the recent Apps Galore joint Mini-Conference (BCE and Lutheran Education).
These resources can be found here.
iPhone App for the session
Visual Literacy resources (JSSALC wikispaces)
Additionally, the Glean website has some excellent resources to support the development of literacy skills in its various forms.
Glean Learning Tools are free information literacy, data literacy and math teaching tools produced by Public Learning Media, Inc.

Hipcast and blogger
In order to compile students and teacher reflections about iDevice use, I have created a podcast to post these.
This hosting is using the service Hipcast.

Horizon Report 2012 and a useful livebinder for teachers
The Horizon Report 2012 is out!
The NMC Horizon Report for 2013 identifies mobile devices & apps and tablet computing as technologies expected to enter mainstream use in the first horizon of one year or less.
Then within two to three year we sill be seeing Game-based learning and personal learning environments are seen in the second horizon and then augmented reality and natural user interfaces in four to five years.
This livebinder is an excellent resource for teachers to begin to understand the implications of these developments.

The story of Cinderella – perspective
Consider the story of Cinderella. Add some interactive-ness, then put on DeBono’s thinking hats and you will have a recipe for expressing ourselves from the perspective of Year 1.
This is the interactive version the story of Cinderella we used to set the scene.
These are some shots of us working, thinking and collaborating.

JS Library in review
The end of the year is looming…
It is time to reflect and consider the achievements over the year.
Oliver reports still need to be run and our stocktake is yet to come. Hopefully we will find lots of lovely surprises.
Currently I am working on the JS Library Annual Report . A PDF of the report will be posted next week on the wiki page.
This week is our last week of class borrowing. Stay tuned for the top borrowing class for 2011. Will it be your class?
You can view a snapshot of the term on the JSLibrary wiki page.
Watch the photopeach to see some photos from this term in the JS Library.
