In this session the students were asked to run a lesson utilising the internet in one way or another. Most groups decided to structure the management of the lesson through a series of web pages designed and constructed by themselves. The pages aimed to guide the student through both downloaded and online resources in an organised manner hopefully enhancing the learning experience.

Spring Term 2001

In this session the students were asked to plan, create and deliver three ICT lessons that would enhance the schemes of work they were teaching. One lesson was to be team taught and the other two taught individually.

Summer Term 2001

In this session the students were asked to create a "Mavica trail". This involves creating a trail for students to follow and prompting them at various points to take photos using a Mavica digital camera. The camera saves pictures onto a normal floppy disk which also holds some pre-designed web pages that form the basis of  a lesson or activity. When the student opens up the web pages back in the classroom the photos are incorporated into the activity. This exciting and versatile resource which can be applied to many subjects was initially developed by  Bren Taylor (Birmingham LEA Edit) and members of the Portability Group.

 

Beth and James created a Mavica Trail to support Year 7  "Rivers" fieldwork on a trip to Chinbrook.

Autumn Term 2001

In this session the students were asked to plan, prepare and deliver a lesson that utilised the internet. Last year we asked the students to create their own web pages but this year we tried to use suitable resources that could be found on the internet. This left more time to think about lesson planning and classroom management and to examine how the use of ICT supported subject learning.

Laura Jones and Paul Ellis - World Climate

Laura and Paul created a lesson looking at world climate. It involved accessing climate data on the internet for various places and then trying to predict the present weather. A great Excel file was developed from this work to help students easily draw climate graphs.
