I can already see how this approach might work at the beginning of one of my Units with some concepts that students really seem to get hung up on just to submit a report. They get it right in the end, but they learn nothing along the way.<br />I can imagine leaving them to it, keeping track of how they are doing, and having them use peer support to work through points where they get stuck. This seems a much better approach than listening to me.<br />I seem to recall though, that this is not a new concept, but rather something many of us have been trying to implement (some better than others), to empower students to take control of their learning, at their own pace, using relevant resources rather than traditional (mundane?) lectures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12477449939902102954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920578612125967474.post-52080872746153492412012-08-29T14:03:23.461+10:002012-08-29T14:03:23.461+10:00Interesting.

Now with one of my daughters working totally off iPads at school, these kids of resources are fantastic. <br /><br />Also having recently completed a grad dip in education, this is where we all know teaching is heading, because resources are being reduced, teachers time is being soaked up with other curricular activities parents expect from the school, and children need different and engaging teaching methodologies. <br /> Michelle Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126081249583166779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8920578612125967474.post-26402693877710577892012-08-13T10:53:47.207+10:002012-08-13T10:53:47.207+10:00Hi Susie,

I see the value of 'TED like clips' as useful for reinforcement, motivation etc...<br />HelenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02174336964885567511noreply@blogger.com
