What will we look at today a quick overview
Some key theory behind digital learning/ online pedagogies
What might influence you as a teacher in your use of them
How you can use AI to support learning
A couple of new tools you can try with your learners.
I will introduce and model two new tools you can use (e.g., behaviour, then you will undertake some guided rehearsal (micro‑teaching, practice episodes), followed by in‑placement application and reflection
Marc Prensky (2001) ‘Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants’
When it was published in 2001 there was a climate of exploring how technology was changing life, people, how we communicate and how we learn. It was an exciting time with lots of speculative ideas and thoughts being shared. The concept of a digital native was exciting; it was going to transform education, transform how we teach, how we perceive our students.
It was also frightening to some educators. Panic ensued; how were they going to cater for these digital natives and their learning needs?
Here is how
Prensky (2001) described digital natives:
Here is how Prensky (2001) described digital natives:
Digital Natives are used to receiving information really fast.
They like to parallel process and multi-task.
They prefer their graphics before their text rather than the opposite.
They prefer random access (like hypertext).
They function best when networked.
They thrive on instant gratification and frequent rewards.
They prefer games to ‘serious’ work. (Does any of this sound familiar?)
Questions to dicuss
Do you think Prensky’s description of digital natives is accurate? Or are there sections of this you agree or disagree with?
How ‘digitally native’ are you?
What response would you have had as an educator after reading Prensky’s article
What influences your digital pedagogy
Countless professional development sessions concentrate on the technology; it is dazzling I know. But those most knowledgeable about learning with digital resources always concentrate on the learning process and see the technology as a means to this end.
(Petty, 2019)

Are you a Digtal native or an immigrant and why
Peer learning activity

2- Mayers Multi Media learning
3 Gamification (Is Sustainable Online Learning Possible with Gamification?)
Each member of your group will look at one of the following in relation to Digital learning and create a maximum of 4 slides to explain the theory to the group, consider how you apply it how it relates to how you learn on line or supports learning.

The Department for Education completed a consultation, gathering views and experiences of the use of generative AI tools in educational settings in England.
This includes tools such as:
● ChatGPT
● Google Bard
● Claude
● Midjourney
The purpose was to understand perspectives on the potential benefits and risks of this technology across education
Overview
Overview
Inside the document, the consultation explores the transformative impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) in education.
It reflects on the excitement and challenges of integrating new technologies into teaching, emphasising that GenAI is not just a tool but a paradigm shift in education.
It highlights GenAI's growing role in classrooms, aiding in tasks and supporting diverse learning needs, including pupils with SEND and EAL.
While acknowledging its potential to free up teaching time and offer personalised education, the post also addresses concerns like academic integrity and data privacy. It underscores the importance of using GenAI to enhance, not replace, traditional teaching methods…
Results show that many respondents recognise the benefits of AI and some are already using AI tools to streamline administrative tasks, create subject-specific resources and provide personalised support for learners with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

What to teachers use AI for
There are so many AI tools on the market.
My advice? Go to software solutions you already know; I suspect most will have an AI equivalent already available.
On the next slide, each of these tools can be effectively integrated into the classroom to support and enhance traditional teaching methods, offering personalised, engaging, and innovative learning experiences for students. They align well with the delivery of curriculum-aligned content to support an interactive learning environment
