This week as part of the Professional Learning Program, Kate Wynack shared on how PoLT “fits in” to PLP projects and how PoLT can be used as a framework for gathering evidence.

We began by looking at the principles and their components and identifying the ones that specifically relevant to the trials.

For example,

• 2.2) uses strategies that build skills of productive collaboration.
• 6.1) supports students to engage with contemporary knowledge and practice
• 2.1) encourages and supports students to take responsibility for their learning
• 3.4) capitalises on students’ experience of a technology rich world.

PoLT as Data
The impact of projects can best be assessed by obtaining baseline data before beginning the project. Evidence can be collected via student surveys, teacher surveys and  component mapping.

PoLT as Evidence
Kate shared how PoLT can be used to plan how evidence will be acquired. Lotus diagram can be used to work how evidence can be collected. A lotus diagram starts in the center and then branches out as ideas/plans are expanded.

This week’s activity

• From your curriculum plan select 2 or 3 principles that you think will best help you obtain the data you need to answer your research question
• Use the lotus diagram to have a go at fleshing out your data collection in regards to PoLT

This week we are looking at how we as teachers and educators can develop an understanding of our responsibilities when using online content. This involves both moral rights and well as cost considerations.

• How much of a resource can we use as “fair use”?
• Is “viewing” different from “using”?

To simplify things a traffic light system has been proposed:

GREEN
All users may engage in Educational Use.
DEECD will not incur liability to pay remuneration to Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) for Educational Use
YELLOW
Authenticated users may engage in Educational Use provided all restrictions are observed
DEECD will not incur liability to pay remuneration to CAL
RED
Authenticated Users may engage in Educational Use.
DEECD may incur liability which may include remuneration to CAL

This weeks task is to use the attached tool to assess and identify the intellectual property and copyright implications when using a particular resource.

What resources do you use in your classroom and where do they fit within this traffic light system?
