Key Design Aspects of the eBookboxes
• Differentiation
Key Design Aspects of the eBookboxes
• Students as active and collaborative learners
Teachers can set up a Collaborative Learning Space. Students can use a:
Class Blog
Class Wiki
Maths Journal
Teachers can also set up Discuss or Journal items in Learning tasks
Key Design Aspects of the eBookboxes• Using quality digital resources
Supporting all teachers to embed the use of eBookboxes into their practice
•Working with teaching and learning coaches and primary mathematics specialists
• Maximising the capabilities of the Ultranet - eBookboxes, teaching and learning cycle…
•Quality blended teaching and learning…
Supporting teachers involved specifically in regional/network elaboration process
• Aim to provide wide range of elaborated eBookboxes as endorsed content for all teachers to access
• Teachers best placed to elaborate
• Engagement of all regions and networks in terms 3 and 4
• Regions select schools/networks
• Ultranet coaches identified as key support personnel
Focus
• Sequence, select from and supplement digital resources with non-digital resources, add teacher notes. • Submit as endorsed content
Benefits
• Develop and share significant expertise in developing quality, blended learning and teaching sequences • Exemplify ongoing collaborative development across and
within schools• Gain public recognition as the author if the elaborated eBookbox is published as endorsed Ultranet content
Support from central office
• Grant
• Templates, sample materials, outline process and quality criteria
• Briefing for networks and coaches/specialists
• Design space for collaboration
• Ongoing support (face to face, elluminate sessions)
