| ''''Try out your 10 '''talking points.'''
| | Last time, you were trying out your your 10 talking points. How did this go? What activity did you use for team building? How did you get everybody to participate? Were students able to '''explain''' their reasoning and understanding to peers? Were there ‘free riders’ or individuals dominating the discussion? how did you address this? |
| * Form mixed-pace groups of 4 students.
| |
| * Start with a team building activity of your choice.
| |
| * Set up the discussion – framed by some controversial talking points and using a technique to ensure individual accountability. (For example, ask every child to participate and explain you will pick [students won’t choose!] one from each group later on to report their own opinion and how it may have changed through the discussion.
| |
| * Encourage students to '''explain''' their reasoning and understanding to peers, ensuring that everyone understands and any gaps are identified and addressed. This is '''cooperative learning; students are expected to help each other learn.'''
| |
| * Monitor the groups to ensure this is happening and that there are no ‘free riders’ or individuals dominating the discussion.

| '''Classroom assistants.''' In another lesson this week, we would like you to try to recruit two or more “classroom assistants” to help the younger children with a specific activity, either ICT-based or not. Reflect (using your dictaphone) on whether/how that was useful from your perspective and what the students’ own reactions were? | | '''Classroom assistants.''' Did you manage to involve some classroom assistants? Are there further issues that need to be discussed? (Refere to the points for discussion from the last session.) It's very important that involvement of classroom assistants is doing with full cooperation of the students, parents, teachers and the school administration. |

| '''Computer tasks.''' | | '''Computer tasks.''' You were also asked to download images that could be used in conjunction with talking points. We will use these in the planning task later. Were there any problems? |
| * Remember to keep practising your typing skills! (The awarding of a certificate at the end of the course will also depend on your typing skills!)
| |
| * Find and download images that could be used in conjunction with talking points.
