| This activity requires one of the following files
| |
| * [[File:Monarch Life Cycle.odp]] for OpenOffice Impress or
| |
| * [[File:Monarch Life Cycle.ppt]] for MS PowerPoint.
| |
| * Alternatively, you can view the pictures here: [[OER4Schools/4.3_Formative_feedback/Monarch_life_cycle|life cycle of a butterfly]] and use your own software for arranging them.
| |
|
| |
| {{activity|Pair work| to download the files.|10}} Start by downloading the presentation files above (or the pictures individually), and have a look at them. With a grade buddy, use presentation software to arrange and present them in the right sequence. If you have difficulty arranging the slides, read the background note below.

| |
|
| |
| When you open a presentation, you see the first slide displayed in a larger window in the middle of the screen. To the left, you see small pictures of all of the slides in the presentation, like a "film strip". To rearrange the slides, you can simply click on a slide with the mouse, and (while holding down the mouse button), drag it to a different position.

| {{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). Whilst in your group:
| |
| * 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 that you will be teaching for which this type of activity is useful
| |
| * find some appropriate images for your chosen topic and plan a 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]].
| |
| }}
| |
|
| |
| Think about the following when planning your activity (keep a note in your activity template):
| |
|
| |
| * What instructions will you give to your students to enable them to carry out this ICT activity effectively?
| |
| * 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?
| |
| * Consider how the computers will be swapped between groups, and between pupils within a group, to ensure that there is effective access for everybody.
| |
|
| |
| This week for homework you will try:
| |
| * an image-based task in the classroom (as prepared above) and
| |
| * typing practice in the classroom which students would do individually, recording their scores, perhaps for a league table (as outlined below)
| |
|
| |
| {{todo|Reference to typing practice needs expanding. Edit [[OER4Schools/Typing practice with students]] and include relevant bits here.}}
| |
| '''Typing practice in the classroom.'''
| |
|
| |
| You only have a limited number of computers. When you start typing practice, you can do this in
| |
| pairs, so that both students understand how the typing tutor program
| |
| works, but once students get this, it makes sense to do it as an
| |
| individual activity. However, students only need to practice for 10
| |
| minutes. So if you have, say, 12 netbooks, then take a group of 12 students
| |
| to do typing practice, while your remaining students (perhaps 20-30 or
| |
| so) do other tasks (also in group work). After a while, you rotate:
| |
| Some of the students who were doing other tasks now use the typing
| |
| tutor, while the students previously using the typing tutor now join
| |
| in with other group tasks. We will introduce
| |
| {{activitytag|carousel}}-style group work properly
