Slide title

Inquiry into the link between your teaching & what web tool will improve students’ learning?

What is important (and therefore worth spending time on) given where my students are at? What tool could I introduce that would support them? What strategies (evidence-based) are most likely to help my students learn this? What happened as a result of the teaching, and what are the implications for future teaching? What worked and what do I need to change?

Take Some Time to Think

Look at the wiki to find Proficiency statement & the Level 1 -4 Objectives.

Think about your students and answers the four questions

What is important (and therefore worth spending time on) given where my students are at?

What strategies (evidence-based) are most likely to help my students learn this?

What tool could I introduce that would support them?

What happened as a result of the teaching, and what are the implications for future teaching? What worked and what do I need to change?
