* learning about session templates
''This page is a template to create your own sessions on this wiki.'' If you wish to do this,
* get in touch with us to get an account on this wiki. Once you have the account,
* you then create a new wiki page, and copy the wikitext of this page to it.
* You can then use the comments in this page to help you create your session.
 
Each page starts with a large block, that gives learning objectives, success criteria, and some other information. This allows teachers to get an overview of the session immediately. The block looks like this:
 
{{OER4SchoolsWSInfo
|intention= {{ OER4SchoolsWSInfo/intention intro }}
* how to make your own session.
* So start by replacing this text with the learning objectives for your own session.
 
|success criteria={{ OER4SchoolsWSInfo/criteria intro}}
|success criteria={{ OER4SchoolsWSInfo/criteria intro}}
* making your own session
* make your own session.
* Again, replace this text by your own success criteria.

Facilitator notes
Throughout your session, you can add special "facilitator notes". They are meant for the facilitator working with a group of teachers. On the wiki, it is easy to  view both the "facilitator version" (with notes), and the participants version (without facilitator notes). To see the participants' version of this session [[/pv|click here]], and observe how this note disappears. Then come back here to continue.

= Session activitiy 1: e.g. Brainstorm on interactive teaching (new topic) =
At the beginning of each session, you should review the previous session (if you are running more than one session). If you are developing a set of sessions, you should use a particular template called 'review of follow-up activities' to do this.  The wiki text for the "review of the follow up from last time" logically belongs to the previous session, so by using the "review of follow up" template, you will be able to attach this wiki text to the previous session. This process is a little more complicated, so we'll come back to this at the end!
 
= Session activitiy 1: Activities =
 
Each session has a number of sections, and some activities within that. Here are some sample activities:
 
{{activity|Example| for something|10}}
 
You can use a number of 'pre-defined' activities,  which helps to keep the names of activities the same throughout your session (and the whole resource):
 
{{activity|wgd| about something.|10}}
 
{{activity|stgw|: Topic.|30}}
 
{{activity|dtgw|, continued from above.|15}}
 
{{activity|otr| about something.|2}}
 
{{activity|tpr| about something.|10}}
 
{{activity|ct| about something.|10}}
 
{{activity|mm| about something.|10}}
 
{{activity|ptr| about something.|10}}
 
(See list of pre-defined activities here: [[Template:Activityexpand]].)
 
You basically continue adding activities like this, often covering new topics.
 
= Session activity 2: Formatting text =
 
There are a number of templates that you can use for formatting the text. You have already met the "ednote" template, which creates an "educator/facilitator note':
<nowiki>{{ednote|text= Some text }}</nowiki>
as follows:
{{ednote|text=Some text}}
You can also use speechbubbles (see [[:Category:Speech_bubble_templates]]), e.g.
<nowiki>{{speechbubble|text= Some text }}</nowiki>
which creates
{{speechbubble|text=some text}}
You can also add "background reading",
<nowiki>{{background|text= some text }}</nowiki>
which creates
{{background|text= some text }}
 
= Adding resources =
 
== Wikitext ==
 
Wiki text can be transcluded, but in the case of worksheets etc that have additional information with them, you should use the "oinc" (OER4Schools Include) template, e.g.  
<nowiki>{{oinc|OER4Schools/Geogebra exercises}}</nowiki>
giving:
{{oinc|OER4Schools/Geogebra exercises}}
 
== Files such as pdf, or OpenOffice ==
If an activity requires resources, you can add them using the ''file'' template:
<nowiki>{{File|Activity template.pdf}}</nowiki>
to give: {{File|Activity template.pdf}}. (Do not use <nowiki>[[File:...]]</nowiki>. Unlike <nowiki>[[File:...]]</nowiki> the <nowiki>{{File|...}}</nowiki> template links directly to the file, while the link to the info page is added as superscript. This makes it easier and less confusing for the user to obtain the file. Also by using <nowiki>{{File|...}}</nowiki> an entry is made in the session summary, alerting the facilitator to the need to download and potentially print this file for participants.)
 
== Videos ==
You can also add videos. Start by locating the video you would like to add on our [[Video|video page]], and once you have found the video you would like to include, simply transclude the video page, e.g.
<nowiki>{{: Video/Abel_Clip_4.m4v }}</nowiki>
to give
{{: Video/Abel_Clip_4.m4v }}
Sometimes videos have additional information attached, to them, such as background information, questions for reflection, or a transcript. In the case of the above video, it would be
<nowiki>{{: Video/Abel_Clip_4.m4v/background }}</nowiki>
<nowiki>{{: Video/Abel_Clip_4.m4v/reflection }}</nowiki>
to give background information:
{{background|title=About this video|text=
{{: Video/Abel_Clip_4.m4v/background }}
}}
and questions for reflection:
{{background|title=Questions for reflection|text=
{{: Video/Abel_Clip_4.m4v/reflection }}
}}
(both of which formatted additionally with the "background" template).
 
== Audio ==


{{activity|example| for something|10}}.
Audio materials are included in the same way as video materials. An example with a transcript is available here: [[Video/Priscillah_speaking_about_brainstorming.m4a]].
You can use the transcript template to format transcripts:
{{transcript|text=
{{:Video/Priscillah_speaking_about_brainstorming.m4a/transcript}}
}}


= Session activity 2: Brainstorming in the classroom (new topic) =


= Session activity 3: ICT-based activity =
= Session activity 3: ICT-based activity =


= Session activity 4: planning =
{{activity|stgw|30}} In each session, we always include an ICT-based activity. Have a look at our programme, to see what sort of activities we included. They should always relate to a concrete classroom activity which would be done as part of the 'follow-up activities'. Initially, all teachers might do the same activity, but as they develop their skills, they could do different activities. We always do this in small groups though, to allow discussion
 
 
= Session activity 4: Classroom activity planning =
 
{{activity|stgw|30}}  We always allow for time during the meeting to actually plan. If you just ask teachers to plan in their own time, this may well not happen. We do this as group work (maybe same task, maybe different task), so that teachers can discuss.
 
 
 
= {{Name for connecting with overarching goals}} =
 
We are drawing on LfL and the MSC technique in the programme, and there are also other over-arching things that may need to be discussed. So we always add a slot called
"{{Name for connecting with overarching goals}}" where these can be discussed. You can use the "Activity for connecting with overarching goals" to use the standard text, or make your own.


= Discussion of LfL or MSC =
{{Activity for connecting with overarching goals}}


= Follow-up activities =
= Follow-up activities =


Close the session with setting of homework,
{{activity|afua|10}}
i.e. setting of homework
 
{{fup|A}} Use the <nowiki>{{fup|A, B, C}}</nowiki> template to set follow up activities.
 
{{fup|B}}


{{activity|Setting of homework|5}}
{{fup|C}}


{{setting of follow up}}
{{setting of follow up}}
You should always use the ''setting of follow up'' template. This allows you to attach the "review" of these follow up activities to the present session (which is where it belongs logically). If you are designing a sequence of sessions, this review can be used automatically at the start of the next session (see the introduction to this session above).
Finally, you use the ''activity summary'' template, which prints out a list of all activities in this session (together with timings), as well as a list of resources that are needed for this session.
{{activity summary}}

Next session: {{OER4S_NextSession}}
End your session with the "OER4S NextSession" template, which creates navigation links at the bottom of the page!
