Researcher Track 2A: McLoughlin


Engaging Students in 21st Century Learning with Innovative, Interactive Digital Technologies
, by Dr Catherine McLoughlin

Am sitting here waiting for the video issues to be sorted out. IT is such a flakey thing. Haven't we all experienced it? The day before a big event, all the computers work fine, then on the big day, it konks out in a major way. I feel quite sorry for her, but she has enough old-school teacher skills to pull it off without the video.

Which only reminds me how important old-school teacher skills are.

As Bruce Dixon said, the more powerful IT becomes, the more pedagogy we need!

Think the problem lies on the codec file (though I was not in this session). The right version is needed to project video files through the projector (although it looks fine from the LCD screen in the laptop or PC).

While we emphasize equipping ourselves with good pedagogical skills, to integrate technology seamlessly, we also pick up technical knowledge along the way. This helps to arrest potential problems :D
