As a homework (see below), chose a topic which you are teaching, and for which this activity is useful. Find some appropriate images, and make your own presentation for your students to re-order. You can find pictures that are open resources (Creative Commons licensed) at http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/.
{{activity|stgw|: Plan an activity with ICT in year groups|30}}. Plan an activity together in year groups (i.e. all grade 4 teachers plan a lesson for grade 4 together; grade 5 teachers together for grade 5; etc).
* Discuss with your colleagues (from the same grade) which topics you have coming up next week, and whether some of these topics would work particularly well with groupwork and ICT.
* Choose a topic which you are teaching, and for which this type of activity is useful. Find some appropriate images, and plan your own presentation for your students to re-order. You can find pictures that are open resources (Creative Commons licensed) at http://www.flickr.com/search/advanced/.
* Make active use of the computers to identify useful images together and download them.  Read the following background text if you need help with downloading Flickr images.
 
{{background|text=
''Downloading images from Flickr''
# click on the photo from the Flickr search results that you want to use (the screen will refresh and a larger version of the image will be shown)
# select the "Actions" tab directly above the image (a drop down menu will appear)
# click on "view all sizes' from the drop down menu (the screen will refresh)
# select the "download a large version of this file" option
 
Your chosen image will now be downloaded to your computer for use in OpenOffice Impress -  [[OER4Schools/Introduction to slideshows with OO|introduction to slideshows with OpenOffice]]
}}


In this part, participants should learn:
Think about the following when planning your activity (keep a note in your activity template):
* Searching for images and downloading images
* OpenOffice Impress for making your own photo stories, c.f. [[OER4Schools/Introduction to slideshows with OO|introduction to slideshows with OpenOffice]].
* Continuation of typing practice - need to introduce carousel-style group work, and typing practice for students (which students would do individually, recording their scores, perhaps for a league table). [[OER4Schools/Typing practice with students|typing practice with students]]


{{activity|stgw|: Plan an activity with ICT in year groups|30}}. Plan a lesson together in year groups (i.e. all grade 4 teachers plan a lesson for grade 4 together; grade 5 teachers together for grade 5; etc).
* What instructions will you give to your students to enable them to carry out this ICT activity effectively?
* Discuss with your colleagues (from the same grade) which topics you have coming up next week, and whether some of these topics would work particularly well with groupwork and ICT.
* How will you ensure everyone participates and everyone learns? How will you stretch all learners?
* Make active use of the computers in the lab to identify digital resources together.
* What will you say to the groups to ensure this?  
* Devise an '''open''' activity where groups have a shared goal and where outcomes may differ between groups, for a lesson you are teaching next week.
** Consider: How will you ensure everyone participates and everyone learns? How will you stretch all learners?
** What will you say to the groups to ensure this? (Make a note in your lesson template.)
** '''Explicitly ask groups to make sure everyone understands the new concept or process; make it their responsibility to support each other and check this is happening.'''
* Consider whether you can assign different roles within the group.
* Consider how the computers will be swapped between groups, and between pupiles within a group, to ensure that there is effective access for everybody.
* Consider how the computers will be swapped between groups, and between pupiles within a group, to ensure that there is effective access for everybody.


You will try:
This week for homework you will try:
* an image-based task in the classroom
* an image-based task in the classroom (as prepared above) and
* typing practice in the classroom (carousel)  
* typing practice in the classroom which students would do individually, recording their scores, perhaps for a league table (as outlined below)
