DFI - 8 Devices

Devices

I was absent for this session as our school had organised a visit to Shantytown. If there was any session that I would not have liked to miss, it was this one.

• I did however have a session with Nicola in my class with Explain everything.
• The students had to practise "copy and paste" and record a response. 
• The had 7 opportunities to practise this skill and for most students, by the seventh practice they had got the idea.
• There were some students who took a bit longer than others and in a way I could identify with them because during the DFI sessions, there were times where I felt that I hadn't got the skill being presented straight away. 
• These students needed some extra support and eventually got the idea, which happened to me as well during the DFI sessions.
• Observing how the students were learning the skill of "copy and paste" was very interesting and when they got the idea they were so chuffed with themselves.

Learning Sites

•  Nicola has put a lesson on my Learning Site and she will be assisting me in setting up further lessons.
• I have also been working with Sue Scott at Kaniere School and she has given me some ideas of how to set up a session on the ipads. 
• We are working together on a unit for "Coding" and working towards using Junior Scratch in the fourth term.
