Enhancing+Numeracy




 * All attendees must prepare a case study to share at this workshop. Choose a student or small group of students will a specific challenge or difficulty that we can target planning and teaching for during this day. Bringing some assessment information to talk to may be appropriate (depending on the challenge). Dunedin is a small place so please remove the child's name from any work samples etc and be prepared to refer to your student with a pseudo name or refer to them as my student, group of students.**

**10:30** ||  || ** Introduction to each other and the day's programme **

**Targeting specific needs with specific ICT experiences** Intro to resources, including processes like, audio recording, examples of what teachers do and how to manage it in the classroom. (How can we keep it simple and not make extra work? including things like sorting tech issues, updating browsers and what can 'it' take the place of - what do we drop?) Can e-learning extend or enrich something that you are already doing?

Some Examples of targeting resources to group and individual needs see right.

**Connecting learning from the computer to learning outcomes** What tools/strategies can teachers or students use? eg chart or graph or reflection or visual response - do I need to collect any data? Connection Reflection

Making the connection of what you are doing with the student(s) parent(s) eg txt sms blog private message Reading note books, reflection books, reflection on blog (have a guest blogger- student each day from the class). Show little blog- student voice not fixing mistakes etc
