  1. TLE 2014 - 2015 How can we use technology to impact on progress? CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  2. Purpose “Mastering our craft” • In depth focus on one aspect of the TLE wheel • Progression in learning • Applied to classroom practice - try things out, take risks • Assess impact on student progress CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  3. Strengths/Limitations • What are the potential benefits of using technology in the classroom? • What are the limitations and potential pitfalls of using technology in the classroom? CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  4. STRENGTH: BOYS! Research shows that boys find technology intrinsically motivating. For example research from a 2013 study found that “ICT probably had a greater positive effect on boys in the study, while at the same time not disadvantaging girls. Possible reasons were discussed, including the explanation that boys are traditionally thought to work in ‘burst’ patterns while girls work in more persistent patterns. ICT enable boys to move towards a more prolonged engagement with learning tasks than when ICT was absent.” CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  5. LIMITATIONS: ‘Authentic’ Learning • Authentic Learning in reference to using ICT is the idea that technology should support and improve existing pedagogical practice and avoid being trivial or a ‘gimmick’. • Teachers should first consider how they want to teach and what outcomes they wish to achieve and then look at technology solutions that improve that experience –putting together brains and machines. CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  6. Main Topics • Using technology to monitor progress / to ‘close the gap’ • The benefits of electronic documents • The ‘Flipped’ Classroom • Promoting discussion and debate CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  7. Monitoring Progress CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  8. Electronic Resources CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  9. The ‘Flipped’ Classroom • Students learn new content online by watching videos, doing research etc. (usually at home) • What used to be homework (assigned problems, writing up, etc.) is now done in class with teachers offering more personalised guidance and interaction with students • Enables teachers to focus on what students find difficult and maximises student participation, discussion, etc. • Relies on the quality of resources available outside of lessons CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  10. Promoting discussion CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  11. What we haven’t mentioned… Refer to the hand-out for more ideas about apps, websites, etc. to improve progress CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  12. Reflection • Can you think of a way of using one of the ideas discussed today in your subject to help students to make progress? • Which class will you try this with? Which topic? • Could this help you to develop your practice in relation to your TLE objective? CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION

  13. Post Twilight Activity • Try out your idea for using technology within a lesson and bring your findings to the second session (February 2015) CHALLENGE – EVALUATION – CREATIVITY – CLARITY – FOUNDATIONS – COLLABORATION
