4. Track Student Progress

De insteek is dat alleen de 'Beginnen met LessonUp' een knoppencursus is, waarbij de nadruk ligt op het product. Alle andere sessie zijn veel meer didactisch van aard.

4 (a). Track student progress by creating classes for your different groups.

Collate resources

Provide your students with resources and lessons for them to access anywhere, anytime.

Teach to class

Remove the time taken to enter a pin code at the start of each session and bring them right in.

Distribute home-learning

Provide home-learning tasks and portfolios for your students to work through at home.

4 (b). Track student progress using our simple to navigate but detailed report function, to see the insights that really matter.

Lesson view

To encourage reflective practice and see which tasks your students really engage with.

Class view

To see the progress of your students as a collective.

Student view

To deep-dive into individual student progress and prompt progress updates for your class.

1. Class view

See the results of your class as a whole to review progress and monitor your class-wide assessment routines.

Start from scratch

Enrich existing material (e.g. Powerpoint)

Reuse or get inspired by lessons from the public LessonUp library

Generate with Maia - LessonUp's AI-assistant

Review post-lesson reports and monitor student progress

2. Lesson view

Look at the results of each slide, interactive or not, to monitor engagement and uncover misconceptions or gaps in learning.

Start from scratch

Enrich existing material (e.g. Powerpoint)

Reuse or get inspired by lessons from the public LessonUp library

Generate with Maia - LessonUp's AI-assistant

Review post-lesson reports and monitor student progress

3. Student view

Deep-dive into the results of a particular student, from the time they spent on each task to the scripts they have written for their extended writing tasks.

You can even start a dialogue with your students by using the 'comment' option.

Start from scratch

Enrich existing material (e.g. Powerpoint)

5. Collaborate with       your colleagues

De insteek is dat alleen de 'Beginnen met LessonUp' een knoppencursus is, waarbij de nadruk ligt op het product. Alle andere sessie zijn veel meer didactisch van aard.

5. Collaborate with your colleagues by utilising your exclusive shared folder, integrating with your LMS and developing SOW's.

LMS Integration

Talk to our business development team to see how we can easily integrate LessonUp with your current LMS, so your staff still feel at home.

Shared Folder

To easily and securely share and distribute lessons across your school, while keeping them hidden from the wider LessonUp Community.

Schemes of work

By utilising our 'plan' function, you can signpost your learning journey (great for when cover is needed), show your curriculum intent and even link the lessons directly.

Your institutional blue folder

Easily share resources, and keep them private to you.

You should already see this folder in your school's shared area.

• But how do we optimise this?

Structuur

Structure and layout.

By clicking the symbol as shown here; 

you can easily signpost the organisation and methodology of your teaching. 

This is great for shared planning, teaching reviews and ensuring all your lessons are ready for cover should you ever need it.

But this is also doable in how you layout your lessons.

Now we have summarised the features, and learned where to find support;

 let's get into some practical tips to help you teach at your best.

WE MADE IT!

Structuur

Learning Phases and Presentation

The organisation and details of your slides can have massive impacts on how well your students understand their learning and engage with your content.

Let's go over some examples and see what a difference a couple of tweaks can make.

Learning goal

What do you need to know and to be able to do?

Learning Objective

Learning goal

At the end of this lesson you will understand and be able to explain how the Roman Empire developed from a city-state to a huge empire, and how this empire was governed over the centuries.

Een goed leerdoel bevat actieve werkwoorden. Dus niet: je weet, je begrijpt e.d.. Dit zijn passieve werkwoord, die geen activiteit van de leerlingen vragen. 

Wel goed zijn: je kunt herkennen en uitleggen, je kunt toepassen e.d.

Het leerdoel is essentieel om in een les, klassikaal, te benoemen. Eventueel voor te laten lezen door een aantal leerlingen. Een les is geen film waarbij je de plot niet mag vertellen: de leerlingen moeten weten waar ze aan toe zijn.

Mind map

Interactive method to activate prior knowledge

Bij alle lesfasen laat je een voorbeeld zien dat redelijk standaard is.

Het woordweb in LessonUp wordt meestal op een 'klassieke' manier ingezet: de leerlingen voeren woorden in. Daar is niets mis mee, maar er is meer mogelijk.

Vervolgens ga je een stapje verder, en laat je zien wat óók mogelijk is.

Het is goed om hier uit te leggen dat je de reacties van de leerlingen kunt verplaatsen om zo categorieën aan te brengen. Dit staat hier beschreven.

Een verdere variant hierop zie je in slide 19

Knowledge transfer

Interactive instruction 

Bij alle lesfasen laat je een voorbeeld zien dat redelijk standaard is.

Bij de lesfase is dat de klassieke Powerpoint-slide, inclusief bulletpoints en veel informatie. Daar is niets mis mee, maar het kan ook op een andere manier.

Intersecting, parallel, and crossing lines

• intersecting lines: lines in the same plane that intersect each other

• parallel lines: lines in the same plane that run parallel and therefore always keep the same distance from each other

• crossing lines: lines that are not in the same plane, are not parallel and do not intersect

Sandbags were filled with earth and mud to protect the soldiers.

When the war started food supplies were still sufficient for all soldiers, but as the war went on, there was less and less (good) food.

When soldiers were not fighting, they often used to play cards.

The soldiers suffered greatly from vermin such as rats and fleas. Some soldiers spent the time between battles killing rats.

Not only did the dogs keep the soldiers company, they also delivered groceries between trenches.

Soldiers could often sleep only during the day, because the night was a good time to spy on the trenches of the enemies. 

With a periscope, the soldiers were able to see the enemy without risking their lives. A periscope works with two lenses.

Thousands of letters and diaries of soldiers from the First World War have been preserved. These are important and valuable sources of information.

For the safety of the soldiers, the trenches weren't shaped in straight lines. They had corners.

40,000 km of trenches were built between the North Sea and the Swiss border (Western Front).

In four years, the area between the trenches has changed completely. It has become a no-man's-land.

While checking out the video you can look in all directions! Give it a try!

Guarding the trenches was one of the most important responsibilities. There were very severe penalties for falling asleep during guard duty.

Besides fighting and keeping watch, there were plenty of other annoying jobs to do in the trenches, such as refilling sandbags, repairing barbed wire or emptying the latrines (toilets).

Processing

Interactive ways of applying knowledge and skills

Bij alle lesfasen laat je een voorbeeld zien dat redelijk standaard is.

Bij de lesfase is dat de quiz- en open vaag. 

Maar verwerking kan om zoveel manieren, zoals: het ganzenbord of ‘bedenk een vraag met als antwoord.’

Who is this man?

1. Pablo Picasso
2. Rembrandt van Rijn
3. Piet Mondriaan
4. Vincent van Gogh

Interactive reflection: 

focus on the results of your lessons, but mainly on 'teaching to learn'

Bij alle lesfasen laat je een voorbeeld zien dat redelijk standaard is.

Deze lesfasen komt er tijdens les vaak bekaaid vanaf. Als er al wordt geëvalueerd…

Meestal wordt er gevraagd: “Zijn er nog vragen?”. Waarna het ernstig stil blijft. 

Omdat dit een belangrijk onderwerp op scholen is, en terecht, is het goed om een aantal interactieve voorbeelden de revue te laten passeren:

- Exit Ticket

- Spinner als exit ticket

- 60 second Post-it

Over welke 2 dingen zou je nog meer willen weten

Write down 3 things that you remember from this lesson

Ask 1 question about something that's not clear.

Spin-ery

Spin-ery {sp-een-[a]ry} an awful pun based on the culminated pronunciation of 'spinner' and 'plenary'.

More freedom?

Set the layout of informative slides to "blank".

Less is more

Keep it as simple as possible, then it will be attractive to use the template.

Universal

Build the lesson already but don't fill in the questions, images, etc. yet!

Tips & Tricks

Templates for all!

Make sure you have a template of all (interactive) slides and components.

Let's get to work! 💪

How did it go?
