Padlet AI example

A fantastic example of how Padlet AI allows us to make links between students' ideas and the learning

DCIS Libraries Site

Resources collections for students based on topics taking place.

Staff 'How to' section to support use of library resources and why this is important.

VR Nearpod

jasminereilly1 — 2024-04-16 23:42:48 UTC

Nearpod offers 360/VR lessons you can edit and save to your account for the children to use. We used it in civilisations for the children to explore pyramids, the coliseum etc. You can edit the lesson then convert it to a QR code so the children can access different ones at the same time.

Emerging Tech: Quizizz

nianhu — 2024-04-23 07:47:58 UTC

Quizizz is a learning platform that offers multiple tools to make a classroom fun, engaging, and interactive! As a teacher, you can create gamified Quizzes and Lessons, conduct formative assessments, host live activities or assign them as homework, tap into detailed performance reports.

Platforms - Using Minecraft Education as a tool for subject/topic specific learning

imogenwilliams4 — 2024-04-23 07:48:04 UTC

Each student and staff member can sign into Minecraft Education using their Microsoft email. Minecraft has ‘subject kits’ which contain challenges about specific subjects and topics. Some of these link nicely to IPC topics.

Most students know the basics from computing lessons, but there are tutorials on Minecraft for students (and teachers!) Teacher info: https://education.minecraft.net/en-us/resources/get-trained

Note: IT may need to ‘allow’ certain areas of Minecraft education on certain accounts and devices

Nearpod Lessons

jasminereilly1 — 2024-04-23 08:03:05 UTC

We have been trialing Conceptual learning in Material Worlds IPC. As part of that we have put our case studies on a nearpod so the children can collaborate and have discussions at their own pace.

I read a few studies about supporting students with dyslexia in accessing speech to text technology. Here is some guidance about the skills we need to teach in order to enable students to be successful in this.

Looking towards secondary for accessibility

amytaylor21 — 2024-05-02 07:21:37 UTC

I met with Erin, our Secondary SENCO to find out about what assistive tech our students will access as they grow up. We also chatted about access arrangements for exams and what is available/permitted. I want to support primary students in being ready for using assistive tech to experience greater independence and success with a long-view that this will increasingly be a part of their lives as they sit exams and enter employment.

From next year, all secondary students will have access to Read&Write, a google chrome plug in with loads of features including speech to text/text to speech, highlighting, glossary generation, dictionary including Widgit images, simplifying language and predictive text. It is also approved for use in access arrangements for exams (with some requirements to fulfill) to remove the need for a person to act as scribe or reader.

Rolling this out to everyone, not just those accessing learning support or with a diagnosis of dyslexia, is a great example of Universal Design practise. It is free for teachers and easy to install - have a play around with it!

Quizizz for data collection and analysation

nianhu — 2024-05-05 23:55:24 UTC

Quizizz automatically generates a report for every Quiz and Lesson you host as a live activity or assign as homework. These reports contain detailed insights into the performance of your students.

In a report, you can view the number of participants in an activity, their accuracy and completion rate, the points and scores awarded to them, the average time taken to answer each question, etc. These insights can help you monitor every student’s progress and gauge their understanding of a subject.
