How do you use online tools to:

  • offer a clear learning objective for each section - what will people be able to do after the lesson that they couldn't prior to it?
  • provide at least two ways for people to engage with the content - auditory, visuals, reading,  writing, an exercise? 
  • provide prompts/  questions?
  • provide targeted examples for your audience's level?
  • clarify meaning?
  • provide ways for people to know if they grasped the main points
  • assess progress?
  • include a discovery element - what about this topic might be unexpected or new, what is a new way to think about this topic?
  • make the content emotionally and intellectually inspiring to increase learner engagement?
  • make connections to how this content applies to people's current world?
  • provide information about where to go if people want to learn more?
  • make learning accessible?

"Learn from fields very different from your own. They each have ways of thinking that can be useful at surprising times. Just learning to think like an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a philosopher will beneficially stretch your mind."

Can you do a click to reveal in Google Slides?

I use animation a lot in Google Slides so that you can reveal the answers.
Is that what you meant Corinna?

Following on from Joc's idea of revealing something in a bag. I have used an app which reveals a picture when you click on tiles. I wondered if you could do the same in Google Slides.

Meet controls, viewing Classroom materials or handing in assignments), they can access one hour of 1-2-1

so: https://sites.google.com/adultlearningbc.ac.uk/bal-intranet/learn-online/help

Learners can also create their own study sets if they want to. The application works well both on a computer and on a smartphone. One issue is that learners also need an account to use it, but it's quite easy to sign up - just sign up for the free basic account only and ignore all "premium", "plus" etc offers. ]]> 2022-01-07 16:14:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Heather840/7rc2tedmdeo1z4y1/wish/1980787319 ESOL https://padlet.com/Heather840/7rc2tedmdeo1z4y1/wish/1980835140 I have found this a very useful, free website for ESOL learners of all levels ]]> 2022-01-07 16:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/Heather840/7rc2tedmdeo1z4y1/wish/1980835140 ESOL https://padlet.com/Heather840/7rc2tedmdeo1z4y1/wish/1980842838 My favourite sites:

Write each student’s name on a stick and have the pot to hand. 
Remove a stick each time you have a positive interaction with each student. As time goes by, the pot slowly empties and you will probably notice a small number of students left and you will be prompted by this. ]]> 2022-01-07 21:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/Heather840/7rc2tedmdeo1z4y1/wish/1981223676 Quiz building tool- on Kahoot.com ashoshi1 https://padlet.com/Heather840/7rc2tedmdeo1z4y1/wish/1986524544 Kahoot quizzes are easy to build, visual and interactive.
