* 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. | |||
* Make active use of the computers in the lab to identify digital resources together. | |||
* 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. | |||

Part A: Learning about ICT. Teacher lab activity. | Part A: Try out your groupwork with ICT. As the week progresses, the teachers within each grade should share the experiences. That is to say, if you are the first teacher to teach this lesson, meet your colleagues afterwards, and discuss with them how it went, and what improvements could be made. | ||
As you teach the lesson remember to think about your own role in the classroom; it is not just to monitor progress but also to interact with pupils, assess their understanding, offer support and help move their thinking forward. Sometimes a group will even need you to sit with them and offer intensive support to progress. Think about how you can identify this need? | |||
During the lessons, remember to encourage groups to let everybody within the group have a go at using the ICT! | |||
Video some of the groupwork if you can (ideally a colleague can do this for you so they can capture you as well as the pupils) and upload it to the server. | |||
