I liked these examples of programmes to use both with junior and older students. I particulary liked read & write because it is used on an ipad for younger students. This would be great to do with a junior class.
Disrupt Education Seminar-Holly Clark absolutely fantastic. Holly gave great examples of traditional and today's needs in education. She highlighted what disrupted education is (UBER/NETFLIX) and how we have to get children questioning and wanting to know ways to find out the answers.
Close reading with Google Apps
Have a doc open so kids come in and begin collaborative and individual work online at looking at your prepared prompts. Such as:

Highlight WORDS in Red that you are unfamiliar with
Comment on KEY PHRASES that stick out to you.
Use a question mark (?) in the comments
QUICKWRITE at the bottom of the document - What is one thing you learned from this article? Why did it stick out to you?
This would be useable with juniors on the IWB also, and do group session and class teaching examples.
Term 3+
GLOBALISATION CONCEPT:
Our globalisation Concept allowed me to introduce and celebrate the differences in culture just in our class. We invited families to bring and share/show their ethnic foods or pictures of to share with the class.
The children found the concept a bit of a stretch but did understand that different countries have traditional dishes.
Some children wanted to try them and some did not. But they all got some opportunity to look and taste some different foods.
ROTORUA INTERMEDIATE VISIT:
I organised for three classes to visit RI school science lab.
Here we got to look at and trial simple experiments to cater to the chns understanding of heating, cooling, and changes of state.
Most of the chn in room 10 had a strong interest in this in class so I took the opportunity to arrange a visit to a real lab, to extend their interest.
The intermediate chn helped and showed the class several experiments., that catered to their interest and their level of understanding science concepts at this age.
