The ORBIT coursebook
Preface
The ORBIT course book presents the resources produced by the ORBIT project in linear form. ORBIT is a resource bank for interactive teaching; each resource in ORBIT is a teaching idea that you can try in the classroom. Sometimes resources are provided with the teaching idea (including, in some cases, concrete lesson plans), but sometimes also the idea is simply presented, with little additional resources.
Each teaching idea is linked to:
- specific teaching approaches (group work, questioning, etc),
- specific subjects (mainly mathematics, and science, but also including literacy and language),
- topics within those subjects: e.g. fractions, magnetism;
- and linked to specific use of technology (where appropriate).
The online resource bank ORBIT allows you to explore the resources as you like, for instance start a subject/topic, and look at a linked teaching approach that you'd like to know more about, delve futher into subjects/topics, discover other teaching approaches from there, or look at technology, etc. However, it does not present a systematic overview. We thus created the ORBIT course book, that provides a systematic overview of all teaching approaches, linked to the relevant lesson ideas.
