CORE Education
Project Facilitator -
Software for Learning & Digistore


Using digital content and software resources to enhance learning
- How can ICT supplement traditional ways of teaching and open up new and different ways of working?


Breakfast Seminar
Wednesday, 15 September at 7.45am

Simon Evans is the project facilitator for Software for Learning and Te Pātaka Matihiko: Digistore. As part of this role Simon supports teachers through maintaining online materials, sharing effective pedagogy and informing teachers of updates through both the Software for Learning and Te Pātaka Matihiko: Digistore newsletters.
 
Simon will present these two Ministry initiatives, and explore ways in which they can support effective practice and open new and different ways of working.

Software for Learning provides a catalogue of software recommended by New Zealand teachers to enhance learning. Te Pātaka Matihiko: Digistore makes available digital resources, single items of content such as images, video and audio clips and interactive resources with a specific learning focus.  Digistore has recently been rebuilt with new features and tools to improve discoverability, accessibility, selection and use.

This CORE breakfast session will:

• outline the objectives and scope of these initiatives
• provide an overview of sites, content and support resources
• introduce Te Pātaka Matihiko:Digistore's new tools and features designed  to - improve discoverability, accessibility and use
• investigate 'learning paths', and how this tool can be used to open up new ways of learning
• share samples of teacher practice and how selected software is creating new teaching and learning opportunities
• outline teacher support strategies, including resources, and opportunities for collaboration and sharing of practice
• look to the future - the development of these initiatives within broader Ministry initiatives.

This session will be useful for school leaders and classroom practitioners, from across all learning areas and levels. It may be of particular interest to teachers looking for new ways to extend and engage learners through authentic contexts and content, and collaborative learning opportunities, and for those who have a role in supporting teachers to reflect and extend their practice in new and different ways.

Breakfast will be served at 7.45am, with Simon beginning the discussion at 8am. He will wrap things up around 9am but you are invited to stay and chat with Simon, other CORE staff and one another after the seminar.
