It may be helpful to have this timetable on public display, and teacher "tick" their slot when they have actually used the ICT. If there is little or no use of the ICT by teachers in class, then this should be discussed, for instance in the session slot named "{{Name for connecting with overarching goals}}" (see below). | It may be helpful to have this timetable on public display, and teacher "tick" their slot when they have actually used the ICT.

= Running the first workshop: Some ice breakers = | |||
What are the issues with primary education in your country? Why are people invited to the OER4schools programme? | |||
What are teachers’ expectations (attend for the whole year - starting off weekly)? Some people will be concerned with big picture, others with detail. Agree the day of the week for f2f meetings. | |||
Some expectations about what a workshop should be like. Modelling activities in the workshop on activities planned for the classroom. (Modelling participation and interactivity at all levels.) | |||
Introduce this resource and the topics within it | |||
introduce strategies to incorporate interactive elements (things you might say, things you might do) | |||
thinking about your own practice<nowiki>; </nowiki>do you think you’d like to try one of these new approaches? | |||
Do you want a buddy system (pairs of teachers matched by grade or subject)? | |||
'''Running the first session. ''' | |||
What are the educator notes here? | |||
Setting up the room - remove tables? Chairs in circle? Tables arranged in islands? | |||
What props are needed? Sheets of papers and pens? May be hard to find for some schools. | |||
'''Ice breaker''' | |||
Welcome everybody to the workshop. | |||
You start the workshop with an “ice breaker”. | |||
We would suggest first name basis. | |||
'''Icebreaker 1''' (for a group of colleagues): | |||
Stand up and sing a song together. | |||
'''Icebreaker 2 '''(for group of participants who don’t know each other well): | |||
People say one or two words that describe themselves (such as “funny”, “sociable”, “shy”). | |||
OR Chat in pairs, and then introduce your neighbour to the group. | |||
'''Icebreaker 3 '''(for either colleagues or strangers): | |||
* people form themselves into groups of 3 | |||
* they have a conversation for no more than 3 min, 1 min each, on a specified topic, e.g. their favourite foods, what activity they are glad to be rid of and don't have to tackle today, their worst fantasy about what could go wrong as a consequence of the workshop... | |||
* facilitator claps their hands after each minute to signal changeover<nowiki>; </nowiki>after 3 min, groups dissolve and form new groups<nowiki>; </nowiki>facilitator changes the topic at this point and after every 3 min until everyone has spoken to everyone else | |||
* people have to stand up the whole time and move around - it is very energising, normally beginning quite quietly and ending up very loud! | |||
* the next activity might connect with this icebreaker, for example asking volunteers to report back on their worst fantasy about what could go wrong in their classroom as a consequence of the professional development programme?! | |||
Consider whether there is a hierarchy among the participants? | |||
