In 2010, St Margaret Mary's College established its own Google domain to implement the Google Apps for Education suite. This session will provide an overview of some of the ways in which our teachers have begun to enhance teaching and learning through the use of apps such as Google Docs and Google Sites. A focus of the session will be discussion of two Year 8 cross-curriculum projects: "Virtual Zoo" (endangered animals) and "Creek to Coral" (catchment issues and the impact on marine life) and the showcasing of sample student work in these projects.

‘Remember This’ Looking back and looking forward.

Meaningful Engagement = Empowerment

Moreton Bay College is a P-12 Girls' School on the eastern outskirts of Brisbane. Three years ago the decision was taken at executive level that filtering was not the solution to our students' cybersafety. Infact, stringent filtering was proving counter productive, as many new and potentially useful Web 2.0 sites were being blocked. The proliferation of 3G devices and the constant battle against proxy bypass sites also meant that filtering as a solution was doomed to failure. This presentation will look at the steps the school has taken to foster a climate of digital citizenship with its students in preparation for the schools' 1-to-1 implementation that began this year.

Pre-service Teacher Education students from the Griffith University will showcase how they used ICT to enhance student learning while on their practicum. These students were involved in a specialized ICT course as an elective in their third and fourth year of study. Based on the theory of TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) students worked collaboratively with their classroom supervising teachers to design rich learning experiences where ICT were both seemless and orientated to support conceptual understanding and utilize higher order thinking. In this session, these students will showcase how ICT tools, digital pedagogies and assessment came together to support learning in and out of the classroom. A range of ICT tools will be showcased including: blogs, glogster, imovie, bubbl.us, concept mapping, iPods, digital classrooms and more.

The Digital Revolution has passed but have we really delivered on the required change needed to make education relevant in the 21st Century? This presentation will forward the idea that as educators and leaders we need to focus on the 'Communication' part of ICTs to prevent techno-fetishism and become aware of the structures that constrain change. The theoretical approach of seeking, defining and bringing to awareness the incomensurabilties of existing 'ways of doing' ICTs in secondary education will be discussed as a means to target what is to be changed. The use of online social networks will also be forwarded as a key tool to create gravitas for change and the communicative modality of choice for observing the ongoing sense of crisis being experienced within education in other parts of the world.

This presentation will outline how the AJAX framework can provide a free, but powerful programming environment for teaching Algorithms and Software Development in IPT.
A brief explanation of how all the parts fit together and how it simplifies the topic for both teacher and students will be given.

This presentation will cover the basics in using ES-Builder to develop a minor project in expert systems or to assess using a test instrument.

This presentation demonstrates the process used in delivering the complete e-assessment. No trees were killed in the delivery of this Year 11 writing task.
A demonstration and template will be provided for using Word 2010 to create a beautifully presented and correctly referenced internet research assignment for IPT. This assignment can then be managed through the drafting phase to final submission by using a CMS like eLearn-Blackboard or Moodle.
Examples of how the written task is modelled and scaffolded will be given as well as advice on marking of drafts. An example of a criteria sheet using the 3 dimensions will be provided and explanations given as to how it was used in practice to mark a Year 11 written task.
