 * 10-12 Sharing **


 * **Tech Hub Inquiry Projects between schools**

**Troy Comish ** - If we provide students with the opportunity to use technology to explain their thinking during the consolidation of three part literacy and numeracy lessons then both the quality of the consolidation and student communication skills will improve.

** Donnie Mills ** - Using internet-enabled devices to enable students to collaborate and demonstrate their learning in a non-traditional manner

** Joanne Larmer ** - If we use oral recording opportunities via technology then the students will increase their ability to answer in concise yet thorough ways, using appropriate subject-specific terminology.

** Pam Jeffrey ** – digital citizenship

**Khai Ma ** – media literacy

**Jamila Monahan ** - IF we use technology to access digital feedback forums where students can decompose questions, explain their thinking and share ideas, THEN they will improve their learning of both the subject matter and their ability to participate responsibly as digital citizens

How has the learning been shared? With whom? Office 365 Sharepoint...more to come this afternoon
