Education Perfect focus group questions by Rhys Hodson https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj Trudi Wigg is the education specialist from EP that works with WGP College. She is interested in responses from your faculty so please do some thinking and ask the questions of a high EP user and an EP avoider/low user to help give myself and Trudi some answers. en-us 2021-08-04 02:26:13 UTC 2021-08-09 07:38:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f5a5.png I think it is incredibly efficient due to the fact that it can self mark and also provide differentiation. https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668458326 2021-08-04 03:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668458326 It enables learner success and self management. This creates positive and constructive conversations. https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668459039 2021-08-04 03:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668459039 Independent learners; those who are better self-managers; those who benefit from the differentiated learning; and finally learners who appreciate that they can work at their own pace. The instructional learning is also extremely helpful for many. https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668460774 2021-08-04 03:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668460774 It's a personal thing. I think those that understand what EP is capable of use it very efficiently and those who don't, don't. Teachers who like to differentiate to their learners and those with good self management skills would tend to use it more. https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668461717 2021-08-04 03:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668461717 I think they are endless. Differentiation, self-management, ease of online learning, ability to work on stuff anywhere at any time is also helpful. The fact that there is a huge variety of tools and exercises; EP can be used for learning as well as practicing skills. https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668463587 2021-08-04 03:29:14 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1668463587 https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672614606 It allows us to assess at different levels with ease. One person can set a Diagnostic test or an assessment for the whole cohort]]> 2021-08-09 07:30:05 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672614606 https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672615754 Some teachers use it irresponsibly as a "baby sitter" when they should be engaging with the learners and teaching them, themselves.]]> 2021-08-09 07:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672615754 https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672621022 I think that this is subject dependent. EP has its place but it cant and shouldn't replace the role of the teacher. It is excellent for assessment and for revision and for filling the gaps. But we do not like using it as the primary teaching tool.]]> 2021-08-09 07:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672621022 https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672623647 The learners are very familiar with it. And can mostly work quite efficiently on it. But many do not want another EP lesson when they have been working on it several times already in the day]]> 2021-08-09 07:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rhysho/l830nxmzqxlnbilj/wish/1672623647
