Bringing the best of EduTech to drive student learning

.By Simon Harper Head Teacher Technology & Learning
This blog is a way to communicate to our whole community. Some posts will be focused on sharing the amazing events, teaching and learning happening at Killara. Others will be focused on sharing the best EduTech (Educational Technology) and innovative teaching techniques to equip our teachers with the best and most up to date knowledge and skills to support students. 

21st Century skills referred to the soft skills students required to prosper in a ever changing world.

Here is the presentation I gave as an introduction to the Teacher Techno Lounge and the 21st Century Learning dimensions last term. These dimensions will be used to frame the training of technology skills to drive contemporary learning at Killara High School. 

There is further information and professional readings found in the tools by 21st Century Learning dimension page in the Teacher Techno Lounge.
These dimensions are an effective way to evaluate at what level the activity drives e.g. Collaboration. See the rubrics below.
