Vision Statement - The project has been devised due to the current climate of 21st Century learners, escalating technology changes and new curriculum launches in 2014. We are designing, trialing and evaluating a pedagogical framework of three designs in a Tri-Pedagogy of SOLE, PBL and Collaboration into Mathematical contexts. Our Math Pilot project has a three fold design. Students will begin with a SOLE - Self Organised Learning Environment on a big question. An inquiry based discovery session based on Sugata Mitra's work. These will then be directed into Project Based Learning where groups will be sorted to plan and design their project, based on their inquiry. Finally, all projects will be presented and shared in a Connected Classrooms Network with schools involved with this project.

Sole question from Sivaiala Lakisoe-Mapuna on Vimeo. Aims -
Staff: To strengthen staff professional development and implementation of new math syllabus in a 21st Century learning context. Student: To observe student engagement and improve student outcomes in the area of Measurement through the use of multiple mediums. Pedagogy: To initiate, develop and integrate current pedagogy of integrating web based tools, learning paradigms such as SOLE and Cloud based learning. ICT: To explore multiple platforms through various devices as tools for learning in preparation for a BYOD implementation. In addition to this, the project will aim to meet the needs of our students. The project will aim to cover these major components: - 21st Century learning based on a Maths SOLE project; - New Math Syllabus Content; - Analysing and targeting student needs; - Professional development and building capacity in staff to lead technology; - Establish collaborative networking in building professional learning communities and networks (PLC and PLN) |
