WALT incorporate Elearning into our classrooms
We will know this when: We can organise our classroom to include the
equipment We can organise our routines and planning to
include activities using the equipment We can teach our students how to use tools for
learning We can find activities that are meaningful for
subjects

Before we begin…
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
ORGANISING OUR CLASSROOM
What are our options? What can help us to stay sane?
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
Option 1 Option 2
Computers: Setting up a pod
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
OPTION 1
Using computers like this allows children to work together at separate computers.
You can have two children per computer. One can be the driver, one can be the navigator.
The driver works the keyboard and mouse.
The navigator tells them where to click and what to type.
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
OPTION 2
More than one child can use the computer- a whole group can stand around a computer
Inquiry
Watching videos
Publishing together

If it’s not comfortable, get help
Never give your full name
Never give your location
Never name a photograph unless you can protect the post
WIKIS AND BLOGS
Using a blog or a wiki: Make one and use it yourself first
Use the online tutorial
Use what other people around you use, if possible
BLOGGER
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
WORDPRESS.COM
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
All of these websites have tutorials
Look for links and use what suits you best
If someone at your school is good at Wikis, use them to help you
If they have a blog, use the blog platform
Use it yourself first to set it up and gain confidence
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
YOU DON’T NEED A BLOG
Set up a bookmark on the internet
Choose a program
vtymkin@westmere.school.nz @vishonamish learningstuff11.wordpress.com
