<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Cecilie, thanks for your post regarding Kahootz. I agree
with that it could it nicely into the VELS to provide an ICT rich environment beyond
Powerpoint. I lament to date the lame use of this slideshow software to organise
so called ‘research projects’ by my non-IT colleagues. Perhaps Kahootz might
provide the tool that junior school teachers need, especially if the primary
school students turn up with the necessary construction skills.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>IT teachers probably shouldn’t feel threatened by Kahootz. There
is still room for drilling down to the deeper technology construction levels
with programs like Flash, Gamemaker, Squish, Logo, MovieMaker, Audacity etc … if
your school can a place for these in your curriculum, a dedicated middle school
ICT subject taught by an enthusiastic IT teacher perhaps.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face=Arial><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Whilst I still have some doubts how it could be used beyond junior
year levels, it would be encouraging if more teachers explored what it could do
and if most students have the basic skills to construct Kahootz objects. I might
start next term with our year 7 LOTE and SOSE staff.<font color=navy><span

gov’t schools for cross curriculum use, not specifically for IT. Any teachers
now need to include ICT within their own teaching programs and Kahootz provides
low to intermediate users at both primary and secondary level with an animation

2005 and 2006. This is a $10M investment from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State

emailed them because she had problems logging onto edumail when she got to
school that morning. I asked her why hadn't she emailed them from home using
her private ISP and she said "but they have to be sent to edumail so I can
only do that from school can't I?" And to think these people might be
teaching IT as part of their SOSE or English allotment in the near future!!!!
To me this is totally scary. And I believe that these non IT teachers

an area that is expanding exponentially, that VELS does not make ICT at
least as important as either English or Maths. Even we as a group are
constantly having to update our knowledge - how many of us had even
heard of blogs, wikis, moodle etc say two years ago? Surely to be adequately
prepared for the future our students need a more extensive grounding in ICT.
Australian companies are subcontracting programming to Indian companies because
of a shortage of skills and the rate of pay here, and the Indian companies are
subsubcontracting the same work out to Chinese companies. And the reason these
countries can do this programming? - because they began massive ICT education
campaigns when they realised that it was the way of the future
and one way to improve their economies. So more Aussie dollars go
offshore. We will be left in the wilderness if our students are not given these
skills.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'><?fontfamily><?param Arial>Hello everyoneFurther the
discussion a couple of weeks ago about the structure of IT in the 7-10
curriculum. I’m wondering what schools are doing with Kahootz. It seems to me
to be a program that lends itself to being taught in a stand alone IT class
then used by other KLAs once students know how to use it properly. I can’t see
KLAs at my school providing much class time for the learning of Kahootz. I’ve
just started teaching Kahootz to a year 8 IT class and I am hoping at the end
of the unit one of the other teachers of the class will set a project using
Kahootz. I must confess to also having a personal interest in Kahootz. I’ve
developed a teaching unit for it and I am trying to decide whether it is worth
the time and effort to send a flyer to schools (not much use if not many
schools have started to use it). So any feedback on your opinions of Kahootz
and its use would be helpful (e-mail me off the list if you prefer). If you
would like to have a look at some sample pages of the Kahootz unit they can be
viewed at <?color><?param
0000,0000,FFFD>www.gct.com.au<?/color> - then follow the Kahootz
link.Greg BowdenICT ManagerNorth Geelong SC<?/fontfamily> Important -
