Here's my lesson plan for the 8th grade students. We haven't got tablets at our school. I wander if my plan is any good to implement them into my work.

Materials: Enterprise 2. Coursebook. V.Evans, J.Dooley., padlet.com, tablets.

I can't add outcomes to my lesson plan. It doesn't work :(

Challenges of the Flipped Classroom

After watching how Monica set herself up for the flipped classroom and hearing about other CCL teacher's experiences, what do you think are the key challenges to implementing the model in classrooms?

1. Make sure Ss will be able to work on the material at home

2. Involve parents

3. Time

4. Motivate Ss to work at home with the videos.

I like this method a lot from the first sight. I've never tried it. I should think about topics we're going to discuss next year at my ESL lessons.

What can I offer my students to improve their English?

I start with something really simple to check this method. Since we don't have tablets, I can't use some steps of the FC.

So far I have several ideas.

1) Simple one: Discuss online videos (We watch quite a lot of videos on different topics at the lesson) and comment on it.

2) More complicated:

- Read some materials, watch videos,

- find new words and expressions (discuss them in a class, make a list),

- choose your topic, make a plan,

- work in groups or pairs, compare your plans with your partners (add or make changes), share roles, make a presentation,

- in groups: think of any questions on the topic's of your classmates (use teacher's help),

- speak about your topic in front of your classmates, answer their questions.

- Assess each other + teacher's assessment

What's the FC?

- Instruction are delivered online outside the class-

- HW is moving into the classroom

- The Teacher creates materials such as videos, ppt, documents 4 the Ss

- The Ss use them as a self learning activities outside the lesson, they identify areas which are difficult, and clarify them with the T during the next lesson

- As T you choose achievable, meaningful, and pedagogical valid activities, provide good mix of in and out tasks

Role of SS

- organisers, explorers, reporters, presenters

- outside class: engage with distance learning

- in class: work with peers on challenging concepts supported by T

Role of T:

- content creator, tutor, initiator, manager of the learning outside school, advisor, communicator, coach and observer,

-Before class: select and prepare material

- in class: revisit challenging concepts

- can collect feedback

Role of Tablets:

-SS: supporters: access materials, take notes,exchange

-T: get feedback, track Ss progress, support collaborating

Problems:

- access to tablets outside classroom

- paretnts' support

- manage privacy concepts

Tablets and Personalisation

In both videos there are some concrete examples how the tablets have been used to personalise the learning and make the students more independent such as through using Aurasma for instructional videos and Edmodo for independently accessing information. What other ways can you think of how tablets can be used to personalise the learning experience of your students?

What is PL & who is it interesting?

-Different needs, competences, preferences of Ss

The goal is - to sign learning activities which meet the needs, competences, capabilities and learning preferences of individual students.

Important: you know your Ss abilities, strengthen and weaknesses. Can design activities - appropriate, challenging and motivating.

Find out about Ss preferences with: portfolio, questionnaire, face-to face discussions

Ss role:

- act as designers of their own learning process

- become presenters, explorers, evaluators

- understand learning preferences of other Ss

Role of teacher:

-supporting role

-develop learning plans for your Ss

- act as designer, researcher, facilitator and evaluator of your Ss learning

- encourage Ss to have self-evaluation and to define personal goals.

- coordinate with parents who are supervisors of their children and supporters of their learning (they also help you to understand SS needs etc.)

Role of tablets:

- ePace (online assessment)

- Classflow (class management)

- Vote on a contant

M4.Q1.

Learning Styles of your Students

Reflect on how you gather information about the learning styles of your students. How do you know what types of learners there are? What are good strategies to identify this? Is it enough to simply ask the students as is done in the video above? Are the students, are we, always fully aware of how we learn best?

I've been thinking about a test for my students to find out their preferences in learning. So far, I've been using observation only because I'm a young teacher. However, it's not the fastest way. I also talk to my students and ask them about their learning preferences. I think, it's not always enough to get a full picture. However, students' opinion really helps.

At my lessons I try to integrate all types of tasks, so they can use body to show something, listening, reading and other skills.

Since we don't have tablets, I can't use many online games at my lessons. Sometimes I send them links with online games to practice grammar and vocabulary at home.

I use pair and group work quite often. The way I divide my students depends on a task. If it's just to act out a dialogue with more than two participant, I use some funny strategies like grouping cards, name tags of different shapes, numbers etc.

Such a random choice of group members doesn't work 100% because all students have different level. So, when the groups are formed we decide how to help students who have lower level of knowledge together (they change roles, or groups).

If students work with a long-term project, like project about different countries, cultures, animals etc., I give them some time to make their own decision. Then, they present me their groups and we also decide, how to change them, if necessary.

3.1 Introduction to collaborative learning

# data[].attributes.body
CL = ss work in groups to research a topic, find a solution, to create a product together.

-give feedback

-share responsibility

what skill do we have to develop in our students

Collaboration needs to be learnt, needs guidance by a teacher

sharing ideas and resources with peers; experience conflict resolution, self criticism,self-evaluation and self-reflection.

Important to share responsibilities between the members of the group.

Role of students:

Ss are at the centre of the learning

SS have different roles: observer, challenger, presenter, leader.

1. Listen and establish common goals

2. Assign and carry out different roles corresponding to their skills

3. Search and share resources

4. Assess in front of others

They need to switch between individual and collaborative tasks

Role of teacher:

1. support a process as an advisor

(consider different skills of your students, assessment opportunities of individual and group work, encourage your students to reflect o n their achievements)

- Have regular meetings with each group

- re-think the learning space

-New ways of assessment

Roles of tablets:

SS can: collect evidence and capture progress in one place, research online, exchange, to get feedback from teacher and others

Tips on how to from groups:

(number of ss, age, skills)

- develop ss profiles

- identify learning styles

- start with pairs

There's a teacher of Chinese at our school. So, I think about cooperation with her to motivate my students:

1. to learn about another culture

2. to share something they know with others

I'll ask students to think about what can be interesting to tell others about Chinese culture (tea tradition, how to make Chinese lanterns, cultural differences - Estonia - China, etc)

First of all, they'll brainstorm ideas and choose the most interesting for them.

Then they'll think about an interview with the teacher. The interview should help them to tell about this culture to other students and other people who are interested in it.

After the interview, they'll look for the information on the internet (pictures, facts etc.) and make a book or a blog.

After they finish, they'll present their result and speak about Chinese culture and what they've learnt at the conference of creative works for students.

Notes. 2.2 Introduction to content creation

# data[].attributes.body
an overview of why content creation is an interesting pedagogical scenario, then looks at the role of the student and teacher in such a scenario and finally explores the role of the tablet

SS:

1. develop their understanding of the topic

2. learn how to create their own content

3. improve ss motivation, participation and achievement

Role of SS when they create their own content:

-they act as recourses, presenters, creators

-exercise their imagination and innovate

- self-organise learning

-present their results

- portfolios which contain steps

Role of teacher

act as an advisor and specialist, important in the beginning (set the goals, limits of the tasks; agreement with ss on a plan -pre-select information; assign roles; give available recourses; support groups and individual - help with publishing content)

Tips for your practice:

1. target should not be too ambitious (small, less time consuming process), discussions

2. purposeful and product

3. free choice

LEARNING SCENARIOS:

7LC based on: collaboration, content creation, flipped classroom, personalized learning.

SCENARIOS: http://creative.eun.org/scenarios

What is LS?

- a vision for the future classroom, addresses challenges that school will face; presents a collection of learning activities supporting a specific pedagogical approach that teachers could perform with their ss (can be used in any subject)

Example: School to school collaboration scenario

Learning story (can cover several lessons)

-learning objectives

- activities

-timeline

-lesson plans

The 7 phases of scenario

help you as a teacher to plan and structure your learning activities

Dream (SS brainstorm, think freely share ideas),

explore (Ss collect info on a certain topic),

map (structure and seek to understand how they are related),

make (create or develop a product or an activity),

ask,

re-make (re-plan on the basis of feedback they receive),

show

Each has a title which represents the key word of the activity in the given stage

# data[].attributes.body
In this module we have two key questions/tasks.

1. Identify at least one idea for content you could produce together with your students that has a wider purpose and meaning than just the classroom activity

2. Create some content with a tablet (can be your personal tablet) to use as an example when doing a content creation project in your class

So at the end of this module you should have achieved the following learning objectives:

1. Knowledge of a process of developing innovative "learning scenarios"

2. Understanding of what content creation with tablets refers to and how to implement this pedagogically effective in the classroom

3. Knowledge of a range of apps that can be used for content creation projects in the classroom

4. Develop a piece of content with a tablet that can be used as an example in a content creation project

Schools in Estonia use E-school. All the information is in a system called "E-kool". Teachers, parents and students have access to the system. We put marks, write home assignments there, we can communicate with parents due to this system.

However, it can't be used as Edmodo. We can't communicate online with students, discuss assignments etc.

I often ask my students to watch different videos or read articles at home, answer the questions or give opinion. I can use Edmodo to make a group for my students, upload links of videos and articles, ask them to write their opinion. It can save our time during the lesson: if students read their classmates ideas, we can discuss them together at school.

I can also make quizzes, so students will have change to practice at home before their test. So it will save a lot of paper :)

2. Application: we scold think about apps we use and teach our students to use.

3. Find motivated students who will be able to become "trainers". Teach students to use tablets for learning.

4. Providing new learning environment/ spaces will be quiet a challenge.

A. Introducing students to tablets

1. Instructional approach (can be difficult)

2. series of tasks

- I can statements (what can Ss already do)

- Collaborate with colleagues (not to be repeated)

Rotating tasks

Ss «trainers» - they work with other Ss - support for teacher

Lessons with a colleague (introductory together - pass it to other colleagues)

B. Tablet course

Behavior of Ss

-School and classroom rules

- If social media are not allowed at school, Tr can’t ask Ss to use them to share ideas

Student ground rules (student council, meeting)

Use tablets only for learning

Classroom layout (not all classes can be changed)

use devices outside the classroom

Scenario planning process (Scenario 2)

Learning spaces at school for tablets

New pedagogical approaches:

teacher’s position changes (not enough to walk only and watch them)

Learning outcomes

Individual student's progress

Scenario planning process - Module 2 (produce video - many different phases etc) it’s not just about the video - teacher guides them

Ss independence  - let them decide what they choose and will create

Examination: tome to plan, identify curriculum areas, integrate tablets

The authorities of our school should be interested in it and take part in developing this project.

Teachers should be motivated and trained to implement tablets in their lesson plans (Some of our teachers already take courses but not many of them). They need time to work on it.

Investment: provide wifi connection, buy tablets, provide technical support.

Team: a group of people should be found to work on a strategy and a long term plan.

M1.02 Why do you want to use tablets in your teaching?

# data[].attributes.body
We have no WiFi and we ban mobile phones or tablets at our school. Why? The reason we use to explain parents and students that playing games and using social networks during breaks make children tired and it’s difficult for them to concentrate during the lesson afterwards.  Our headmistress also thinks we need no tablets since we can use books to teach our students successfully. Another reason - computers are everywhere, let children be without them at least at school.

From my point of view, we loose a lot because of these excuses. As I can see, our students try to catch any chance to go online or play mobile phone games. Especially teenagers. They have to control themselves for 45 and then rush into their smartphones. Unfortunately, as it was said in the video above, if we don’t teach them how they can gain from their gadgets, they use them mostly as consumers.

Tablets at schools can help us to teach our students not only necessary skills they need, but to show them the way they can develop themselves creatively with their own technology. It wan’t be something forbidden, it will become something they learn from at school and at home just right from the reality they live in.

However, there'll be some difficulties:
