“A decade ago, a review of Australian science education, revealed many students were disappointed with their high school science. Today, this disenchantment continues, as evidenced by the declining number of students choosing to study science in senior secondary school.” Prof. S. Cory

Today’s learner’s are:• Multi-taskers• Digitally literate• Mobile and connected 24/7• Experiential and Social• Visual / spatial learners with • Fast response times & short attention spans

What Effective Teachers do…
• Clear Learning Intentions• Challenging success criteria• Range of learning strategies• Know when students are not progresing• Providing feedback• Visibly learns themselves
~ Prof. John Hattie

So that students…
• Understand learning intentions• Are challenged by success criteria• Develop a range of learning strategies• Know when they are not progressing• Seek feedback• Visibly teach tehmselves~ Prof John Hattie

• The Power to Engage• Students use technology already • It's not going to go away...it will only grow• Professional development• Employers want their workers to use internet tools

“If our kids are going to live longer than us, they need to have a passion for learning to sustain them. Not content knowledge, but learning to learn. One eighth of the 21st century is gone already – get cracking with 21st century
learning” Stephen Heppell

“Teaching is an art form not a delivery system.”
“A tool is only as powerful as the creativity of the person who uses it.”
“A cupboard full of instruments does not produce music – a suitcase of web tools does not lead to creativity on it’s own.” Sir Ken Robinson

Practical considerations
• Technology does not replace experiments• Does every student have access to devices?• Does every student have internet access?• Preferred learning styles?• Concentration span – mix it up!• Plan B and Plan C• Best tool for the job of learning
