Presenting Topics To Others (http://prezi.com/explore)

Here is an example of how things can change with technology. This presentation software is free to schools when they use their school email accounts. It is a huge improvement on powerpoint.

There are some very interesting work examples within the explore section of this website. This presentation: about Martin Luther King, clearly demonstrates how useful this software can be for children presenting their knowledge and understanding about topic work.

Year Two Teacher

I am currently not attached to a classroom but from my previous experience with Investigative Science, it showed me that it is a process which enables all students to see Science as an area of learning, which they are able to participate in, as it involves observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena which they are often naturally inquisitive about. I was challenged to redefine my approach when teaching Science. I gained understanding of how Investigative Science lends itself to all aspects of the Science curriculum and the need to take small steps in order to achieve the desired learning outcomes . I also understood how Investigative Science was able to differentiate and involve all students in the classroom thus enabling all students to become thinkers and involved in the scientific process. I would highly recommend this PD to other schools who are grappling with Investigative Science or would like to introduce this concept of learning to all teachers, whether experienced or not. The presenter was well spoken, engaged her audience with practical activities and listened to all the questions asked, responding with answers which clearly displayed her knowledge and understanding. A very passionate and motivated speaker.
