=Mimio= = = Mimio Tools ** A guide to getting the most from your Mimio. **
 * Presenter - Emma Hoggard **

Mimio is a very powerful interactive teaching tool that enhances teaching and learning practices when used effectively; they key is interaction. So hopefully by the end of today’s lesson you can take away a few practical ideas for use in the classroom.

__My Biggest Suggestions:__ PLAY - get use to the functions and capabilities including the gallery. Take risks - we encourage our students so model this. Solve problems - use tutorials or help sheets to guide you and provide support.

Great video tutorials available too.

__Areas discussed and modelled:__ 1) Mimio Capture Mode how to set this up including templates practical use within the classroom 2) Mimio Record Function how to use this practical use within the classroom 3) Questions & Answers 4) Sandpit time - lets all play and have a go!! Help sheets provided to attendees below: =LMS Workshop: Moodle=

Presented By Mary Woods Discussed the theory as to why it is important for teachers to have a Moodle page Social Constructivism extends constructivism into social settings, wherein groups construct knowledge for one another, collaboratively creating a small culture of shared artifacts with shared meanings. When one is immersed within a culture like this, one is learning all the time about how to be a part of that culture, on many levels. Demonstrated to the group how to make their LMS page a working document relating to the culture of their classroom environment. How reading rotations and Maths rotations operate using LMS, how parents can be involved in the process through online activities and how LMS can used to administer homework and keep parents up to date with classroom and school information. http://ourspace.tauranga-int.school.nz/login/index.php Username: iteam Password:tisict10 Above is the link to my Moodle page. I have arranged for you to visit my page with a visitors password and username, Room 17 link is on the left hand side of the page. I also shared with the group a selection of websites that I am using at the moment: Learnnz is a online classroom situation that is science based: http://wetfeet102.learnz.org.nz/controller.php?vft=wetfeet102 Web site for creating graphs online to help with Science Fair http://nces.ed.gov/nceskids/createagraph/default.aspx Nz Maths website http://nzmaths.co.nz/ You tube video: power mouse http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ7nqT0Y72c This will create a laugh and sums up just about everything: "never give up" and yes this is on my LMS page as we did have a mouse situation.

='Bits and Pieces' with Juniors=

Workshop resources for use with Juniors: Presented by Stacey Budd; Greenpark School I created a workshop to share tools that are useful for teachers to use with Juniors children, that are simple, easy to use and don't require tonnes of planning and teacher work (maybe just a bit of sand pit time). I also shared a number of websites that may be useful to the 'Junior' teachers. Bits and pieces slideshow media type="custom" key="6217047" View more presentations from Stacey Budd.

I am at school and ready to learn. flip pic.

Software shared with teachers and one's that are down loadable were given to them on the resource CD: Picasa Audacity Jing YouTube Downloader Paint.NET Photo Story 3 Kidpix Comiclife The feedback I received was really great. The teachers now seem movtivated and not as scared to try the 'new' resources. The teachers liked that fact they were given everything I talked about on a CD to take away and have a play and use as they wish and found the time for.
