Workshop+3+Year2+2010


 * ** How can teachers select and integrate digital content available to New Zealand schools through Digistore? ** An exciting new feature of Digistore is the ability to create Learning Paths, a collection or sequence of learning content interwoven with teacher comments and descriptions that can be created for a particular audience eg: Students, Teachers, parents or as a personal collection.

In this session participants will create a Learning Path for a group of students to support a specific learning outcome. || || ** In preparation for this session: **
 * Consider the following key messages.

Digital content is most effective when:
 * embedded into an existing programme of learning
 * supported by relevant offline experiences (before and after use)
 * selected according to the needs and interests of the learner (informed by evidence)
 * supported by effective teaching
 * combined with other relevant digital content and learning experiences
 * learners work collaboratively

Key messages from research and trials by The Learning Federation Research and trials can be accessed here || Identify what you might need to consider or know prior to developing your learning path.


 * What are the needs and interests of my students?
 * What is the learning I want to support?
 * What relevant offline strategies and experiences might support the learning?
