Stage 3 Development of Web based Units of Work- Peter Clifford with assistance from Mat Palmer (intern from MTeach) developed a web based unit of work for Year 10 Commerce. The URL for this unit of work can be found on the projects page in this website. Stage 4 Development of a Communication and Mentoring Project- this was designed for Year 10 English and Year 12 Economics and Business Studies students at the school. The website for these projects are to be found at http://alex.edfac.usyd.edu.au/Methods/HSIE/mercy_chat.html (Economics and Business) and http://alex.edfac.usyd.edu.au/Methods/HSIE/mercy_chat_english.html (English). It was great to see a distance education student from Fiji join in to the chatline on the internet for assistance with his course. Stage 5 Presentation of Progress at the Mercy Schools Professional Development Day. At this professional development opportunity Peter Clifford from Mercy College and Mike Horsley from the Faculty outlined progress that had been made in the development of the partnership. A website was created for the professional development opportunity. http://alex.edfac.usyd.edu.au/Methods/HSIE/mercy_talk.html Stage 6 Action Research Presentation - Peter Clifford developed a PowerPoint presentation of his action research project on embedding ICT into a unit of work and reorganising his teaching with Year 12. The PowerPoint is available on-line at the following address http://alex.edfac.usyd.edu.au/Methods/HSIE/HTML%20Presentation%20folder/sld001.htm. Peter has subsequently made a video and digital photos of his Year 10 Commerce class in action on the web. Stage 7 Bachelor of Education Year 4 Students Develop web based support units- as the partnership developed Mercy College provided technology practicum places for two Year 4 Bachelor of Education students, Ayca Emerali and Edina Pervanic. They developed a website for teaching Globalisation topics and assisted Year 12 students in developing PowerPoint presentations for Economics Topics and Year 12 Assessment. Stage 8 Internship Student Julie Robinson in English- Julie Robinson, a second year Master of Teaching Internship Intern joined the English Staff for Term 3 2002 and developed some internet support for a range of English topics Stage 9 An Internet based assessment task to evaluate the Commerce students who had completed the on-line course was developed. This was designed to use the internet to test not only their topic knowledge but also the computer and internet skills gained by doing the on-line course. This task can be viewed here. The assessment is at the bottom of the page. This pilot task involved forty- five students simultaneously on computer and internet accessing the one hour on-line task. Their work was then saved onto the school intranet, where it was marked and recorded on computer. The only paper used in the whole exercise was a one page analysis of each students results given to each student. Students then accessed the answers of the best students on-line to compare to their work. Stage 10 Research Task a Year 7 Geography class researched Tornadoes on the internet and saved the best links into an intranet folder where they found an assignment sheet with instructions. The assessment was designed around producing an information sheet on the topic. Many requested to use PowerPoint - the impressive presentations can be seen here. Assignments were emailed to the teacher, marked and returned by email. The best were shown to the class and are to be put on the departments internet site for display.. A similar unit has been done on Tsunamis. Stage 11 Globalisation UnitYear 11 students recently completed a globalisation on line course and made good use of the chatline with University students to gain assistance. Stage 12Chatline Use Trial HSC On-line Help Year 12 students found the chatline very useful for their final preparation for the HSC. They asked questions and received answers from Peter Clifford their teacher, Sydney University and other students. The beauty of this was that all students could view each others questions and answers rather than individual assistance by phone or email. StageWe are working on a plan for further partnership developments.

My Philosophy My philosophy is based upon a commitment to the ideal of the 'scholar teacher'. This means that I have a primary research and teaching focus within the academic discipline of English -- and that this commitment to students' learning, the subject English, and research is situated within the particular contexts of education and teacher education. What I do My teaching, research, and scholarship are predominantly in the fields of English education, and English literature. I teach in the Master of Teaching and Bachelor of Education programs, in both English Curriculum and general units of study. Research and publications Current research projects include:
My publications are across the range of scholarship outlined above and within a variety of contexts: they include four co-authored books in the field of English education, as well as book chapters, journal articles, and published national and international conference papers. I have also developed a teaching and learning resource site for English students and teachers, developed on-line resources for HSC English teachers and students through HSC On-line, and have published literary critical materials electronically for senior secondary and undergraduate tertiary English. English and English Education Resources Page: http://alex.edfac.usyd.edu.au/Methods/english/EnglishMainpage.htm Contacting me I am located in the Faculty of Education building (A35) in Room 910, and may be contacted at the numbers or email given above. I would welcome your ideas and comments on any aspect of English language and literary education. back to top
