Does it matter what we say aloud when we use technology in school?
'In particular for children who are either reluctant readers or older children, who maybe for whom reading stamina is an issue, they say if I've got a long bit of feedback, it's sometimes really hard to take in, and by the time I get to the end of it they have forgotten the first bit. So what teachers can do really effectively there is to spread short voice notes throughout the course of a piece of work so that the children can hear the feedback in real time. So there's a really powerful application for teachers talking to people with technology as well'

Do technologies define our teaching strategies?
Do technologies define our teaching strategies?
'We know from the research that different kinds of technology encourage us to use different kinds of pedagogies. So the key thing for us as teachers to think about is when we choose technologies for our teaching and learning, what kinds of pedagogy are those technologies encouraging and what kinds of pedagogy do those technologies subliminally embed within our teaching and learning practises.'

Does it matter what we say out loud when we use technology?
Does it matter what we say out loud when we use technology?
'It is very important to make sure that we're speaking out loud when we're using the technology is the technology is a tool. As much as it can be there to support the learning within that classroom. It changed the role of the teacher. The teacher is there to make sure that that technology can be accessed and be used in the correct way. '
