What is LessonUp?

LessonUp has been built for teachers.

You will benefit from:

✔ A toolkit of interactive activities
✔ Lesson inspiration and ideas
      to take into your classroom
✔ An international community of teachers

Most of the group will not have used LessonUp before, so this slide gives a quick overview of LessonUp and what it does.

Examples how to use digital tools into your daily teaching

Links to educational theory and the ECT framework

Opportunities to try out the ideas via 'gap tasks'

How do you

feel about

EdTech?

A quick warm up slide to gather participant understanding and to act as a steer for the conversations across the year.

We will return to this list regularly to check that we are equipping the cohort with the skills and ideas that are meaningful to them.

Why is EdTech so important?

Edtech, short for educational technology, refers to the use of digital tools, software, and online platforms to enhance teaching and learning experiences in the educational setting.

Today we will look at:

How to gather student ideas using an interactive mindmap

How to collect snapshots of student understanding

A few of our ready made resources and how you can add them into your teaching

Outcomes for this session:

• How to gather student ideas (and keep them) using an interactive mindmap
• How to collect snapshots of student understanding (using a poll)
• How to take existing resources and add in an interactive element (uploading powerpoints)

Sounds good? Let's get started.

How do you currently gather your students' views?

• big paper and pens
  
  
• post its 
  
  
• verbal discussion
  
  
• paired talk

Gathering Pupil Views

What Do I Enjoy About Y6?

Ask pupils to think about all of their memories from Primary school. This is a great way to share some positive moments. Remember, if pupils add content which is unsuitable for sharing, this can be seen from the teacher's view before it is revealed to the group.

Consider removing pupil names from their contributions and ask pupils to guess 'who said what'?

• lolly sticks
   
  
• thumbs up 
  
  
• smileys
  
  
• red, orange and green highlighters

Snapshots of Understanding

How do you like the EdTech

you are using now?

😒🙁😐🙂😃

How are you feeling?

Effective assessment is critical to teaching

because it provides teachers with information

about pupils’ understanding and needs.

(ECF 2019)

How could you use an interactive poll in your class?

Which aspects of standard 6 can 

you link to using a mind map or poll?

Icebreakers

Icebreakers are short activities to use with your class.

You can easily adapt them to suit your class or context.

How are you?

• Try an icebreaker out
   or create a mindmap.
   
• In the next session,
   we'll discuss the impact
   of the interactive activities.

Task One

Show the participants the gap task folder. Explain that this can be used and saved in their own personal folders and that they can add in the mindmap to their own lesson, using upload powerpoint function.

Summarise the key learning 

from today's lesson in 60 seconds.

Aardappeloproer

1917

Enkele Amsterdamse vrouwen zagen dat er een schip vol aardappelen in een van de grachten lag. Ze gingen erop af en plunderden het schip: hun schorten vol aardappelen. De dag erna waren er meer plunderaars. Pas nadat zes mensen door het leger werden doodgeschoten, keerde de rust terug
