SUMMARY:Improving pre-service teachers’ digital competence: Scenarios for a blended future
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: A/Prof. Sarah Howard and Prof. Jo Tondeur\nAbstract: In response to the global COVID-19 pandemic\, the field of education has undergone a massive shift from face-to-face to online and blended learning. This has provided a challenging but at the same time interesting opportunity for teachers from all educational levels to reconsider their educational practice. The difficulty of this was that many teachers had very little or no experienced teaching online. In this keynote\, we will unpack how a person-centered approach can be used to develop the digital competencies of pre-service teachers for online and blended learning practice. Therefore\, we will first consider pre-service teacher profiles in relation to readiness to teach online\, including individual and institutional factors\, to consider what support is needed to teach online in a range of educational contexts. We will then present scenarios of how to best design teacher training to be responsive to different profiles in the development of digital competence for a blended future. This is an important consideration in the field\, because teaching online is not only in the short-term to manage COVID-19. It is also important to consider the long-term goals of providing better support to integrate online and blended learning approaches in different educational contexts. \nCLICK HERE FOR MORE

SUMMARY:ATTEN 2020 Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Introduced immersive technologies\, immersive pedagogies and their application for education.\nDiscussed the possibility of collaboratively developing a research paper on immersive technologies in teacher education.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nCollaborative Google Doc Session recording \nDigital and Educational Technologies Literature Review for Pre-service Teacher Programs (Matt Bower)\nPre-service teacher education programs relating to Digital Technologies and educational technology are ideally informed by research\, yet this literature is disorganised and fragmented. In this session we shared the key literature that we use in our units\, to form a repository that could be drawn upon by any university. As well\, we discussed the possibility of collaboratively undertaking one or more literature reviews relating to effective approaches for: \n\n\n\n\nteaching Digital Technologies and Design & Technologies to children\nintegrating technology into the classroom\ndeveloping teachers’ Digital Technologies and Design & Technologies pedagogical capabilities\ndeveloping teachers’ technology integration capabilities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nPlease take the time to add to the knowledge base\, noting the different tabs for the different areas!

Collaborative spreadsheet knowledge base (multiple tabs) Session recording In response to COVID-19 and to promote flexible attendance\, the 2020 ATTEN Symposium was held online on 2nd December 2020. The symposium was attended by 31 members. The agenda for the day can be found at here. A brief description of each of the five sessions\, recordings\, and corresponding resources can be found below.

We also discussed the challenges and opportunities we face\, including: \n\nPositively influencing teacher education\nEstablishing processes and culture\nCoordinating and leading activities\nDetermining and maintaining membership\nSourcing funding\nRaising awareness of ATTEN\nEstablishing positive partnerships\nConducting collaborative research\n\nPresentation slides Session recording \nStructure of Digital Technologies in Australian Pre-Service Teacher Programs (Jo Blannin)\nIn the context of potential changes to the DT curriculum\, this session explored what we might contribute to the discussion in the form of a collaborative position paper. During this highly interactive session (using Miro) we worked to unpack what we\, as ITE educators\, have learned in our 5 years working with the curriculum and what we want to highlight/promote/recommend for future iterations. By the end of the session we had a paper outlined\, sections allocated for development and a core group of writers ready to go! Take a look at the Miro space and the session recording below. Miro interactive activity link Session recording (from 30mins 30 secs) \neSafety and Digital Citizenship in the Pre-service Teacher Education Curriculum (Leanne Cameron & Petrea Redmond)\nThe purpose of this session was to provide a snapshot of current eSafety/Digital Citizenship education in ITE programs. It explored the possibility of a joint research paper investigating the following research question ‘What approaches are Australian teacher education programs currently using to teach e-safety and digital citizenship?’ The Proposed data collection method (No surveys – yeh!) was that members of ATTEN provide assessment items from their ITE programs where they have identified they practice or assess ‘APST 4.5 Use ICT safely\, responsibly and ethically’ within their accreditation documentation. Please contribute to the collaborative doc below. Collaborative Google Doc Session Recording \nAR/VR/XR in Education – What are the applications and pedagogical opportunities?
