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!

template.
= 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 }}


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.

== Wikitext ==


{{activity|Example| for something|10}}.  
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 ==
 
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}}
}}

{{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

= {{Name for connecting with overarchiving goals}} =
{{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.

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.
