https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8 After having engaged in all the learning tasks associated with the Active & Interactive Learning Topic, please share your ideas of what you will put into your own practice moving forward - and feel free to comment on the ideas of others! en-us 2021-10-22 19:19:21 UTC 2021-11-02 13:13:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1844649664 2021-10-26 11:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1844649664 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1845616473 I had never really considered the difference between these. I will definitely be considering when I might be able to use each of these strategies depending on the context I am in.

I will also try to use more follow-up and connecting questions as mentioned in one of the included references.]]> 2021-10-26 16:30:55 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1845616473 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1849174843 Upon reflection I feel that I utilise an active approach more frequently however I feel that from this session I can see how incorporating elements of interactive learning may achieve better learning outcomes. This will be considered when formulating teaching plans moving forward. ]]> 2021-10-27 18:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1849174843 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1850981388 2021-10-28 11:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1850981388 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1851817253 I have always tried to make my sessions as interactive as possible, personally I struggle with purely active based approaches. I have also personally always found it difficult to concentrate for long periods of time. Thus I have tried encorporate this into my teaching, however I was unware in regards to switching or interrupting teaching every 20 minutes in order to 'reset' fatigue. This is something I will change. I think I am also very quick to answer questions for learners and provide a full explanation, where as it may be more beneficial to them if I provide some of the information and then guidance on where to find the answer. ]]> 2021-10-28 16:05:49 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1851817253 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1853771176 2021-10-29 12:12:45 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1853771176 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1853884876 I try to make my teaching as interactive as possible by asking a question for each slide. This gives me time to rest my voice and to ensure my students are awake! Also, it gives me an understanding where there knowledge is currently and how I can add to it. 

I will add different methods of interactivity including the jigsaw approach and concept maps to my future teaching]]> 2021-10-29 13:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1853884876 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1854305503 This section has really helped me to reflect upon how I would like to expand my interactive approach virtually. I find interactive learning much easier to create in person but struggle with this over Teams. For example, I regularly ask questions throughout slides to check student engagement but often feel that I am 'shouting out into the void' with sometimes very minimal response unless I call upon a student directly. This is effective but I am interested to look into ways that rely less upon me 'picking on' learners. I am enjoying Padlet as a learner and would like to look more into quiz resources e.g. Kahoot or the use of breakout rooms to enable interactive strategies such as the Jigsaw or Gallery Walk in the future. ]]> 2021-10-29 16:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1854305503 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1856854144 I often use quizzes and cases to try and make my teaching sessions interactive but now this has given me ideas for other interactive tasks I can incorporate. I really like the idea of the students learning from each other, and I will try to facilitate this more by including the Jigsaw idea as well as repeat questioning after peer input. I also tend to place the quizzes at the end of a session, but this has highlighted the importance of breaking up long sessions. ]]> 2021-10-31 15:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1856854144 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1859782393 I will want to create a range of activites, and change them every 20 minutes, as from this lecture I've understood the importance of directing attention to keep students engaged

I will be taking this awareness forward and building it not only into my new lesson plans, but also into how I deliver existing tutorials/resources. 
Many of the tips provided were strategies I have seen used, or have used without realising how useful they can be. 
From this learning I have definitely seen the benefit of having a more clear structure to tasks such as clarifying the learners "muddiest point" or getting them to summarise information and present it back. 
Additionally, knowing there are more interactive ways to use powerpoint - such as structure quizzes where the answers guide the order of the presentation - is a very useful bit of information! ]]> 2021-11-02 07:47:50 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1860955439 https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1861575532 I've never really took into account the differences between active and interactive learning. However going forward i will ensure to pick one of these learning style and actively seek to incorporate it into every teaching method.

I also valued the information about attention span and how it lasts roughly for 20 minutes. Thereby highlighting the importance of actively directing the focus of learners every 20 minutes]]> 2021-11-02 13:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/efillmor/9yi2xrg6kgaffvq8/wish/1861575532
