Michael Campbell teaches across a number of disciplines at Scotch College and is keen to encourage his students to transform their learning experiences using creative approaches across each of the learning areas of Science, Mathematics and Physical Education. Michael uses Clips with his class to create instructional videos and for the students to create and share their learning. Students can redefine their learning by using multiple environments and spaces to leverage deeper learning within each subject area. The ease and functionality of the Clips app enables students to achieve a creatively published video in a short period of time.

Year 6 – Mathematics Angles Keynote Scaffold https://home.scotch.wa.edu.au/teaching-and-learning/2021/06/25/year-6-mathematics-angles-keynote-scaffold/ Fri, 25 Jun 2021 04:05:58 +0000 https://home.scotch.wa.edu.au/teaching-and-learning/?p=2261

 

 

As a Middle School Mathematics teacher, Tyson Waterman’s classes have been largely dependent upon the more traditional paper and pencil options to study and consolidate mathematical understandings. However, through the use of a Keynote scaffold, Tyson challenged his students to take mathematical concepts into authentic learning situations by challenging the students to go mobile with their devices to find angles in their environment. The students worked collaboratively to identify different shapes and angles and to audio and photo record and use the Apple Pencil functionality to annotate their images. The task was open-ended enough to allow students to extend their understandings.

Year 6 – Mathematics Dictionaries https://home.scotch.wa.edu.au/teaching-and-learning/2021/06/21/year-6-mathematics-dictionaries/ Mon, 21 Jun 2021 04:26:57 +0000 https://home.scotch.wa.edu.au/teaching-and-learning/?p=2214

 

As a Middle and Senior School Maths specialist, Sophie Berry has redefined her approach to teaching and learning with iPad by identifying the possibilities for consolidating student understandings through the use of a multi-modal maths dictionary.  Ultilising a Keynote scaffold, the students completed their understandings of keywords from maths lessons by using audio, screen recording and video to share their comprehension of the steps needed for each of the concept areas.  Distributing this through Classwork allowed Sophie to collaborate in real time with the students and feedback on misunderstandings and misconceptions of the concepts.  As a personalised task, the students could utilise the dictionary for future use and when requiring consolidation as a resource for homework, etc.
