great tool to have even if made with a cheap hd webcam #ukedchat

bellaale 20:04
#ukedchat saw a great idea the other day (sorry, don't remember
where...). For plenaries, get two teachers to swap rooms! (genius)
Dunfordjames 20:04
#ukedchat create a hashtag using class name eg #10h1 and get
them to provide feedback/ideas through phones or laptops on
twitter
MykWagstaff 20:05
#ukedchat hands up banned - like to use more random selection
methods so all learners prepare answers
mikeatedji 20:05
#ukedchat @materialteacher Do you like the randomness? It
removes any sense of teacher led agenda I think
primarypete_ 20:05
@bellaale we have started swapping half of classes over to explain
to other class seems to help make things concrete but earlydays
#ukedchat
john_at_muuua 20:05
swap kids too? Or just rooms? (not a joke, but a real question!)

@mikeatedji #ukedchat I do, and I like that they could really
develop a good learning partner they wouldn't normally stick with!
colport 20:06 @largerama Fair enough, I use in primary from Rec to Y6 #ukedchat
mikeatedji 20:06
@MykWagstaff #ukedchat Yes that way none of pupils can switch
off cos they may be called upon!
bevevans22 20:06
#ukedchat I also love setting them challenges of all sorts. Today we
played beat the box for 30 mins - lots of good skills and fun too :)

Ideally real challenge, purpose and audience, clear brief/challenge
spec
jonathanhughes 20:07
@primarypete_ #ukedchat I give the kids the topic of a starter (eg.
practice number bonds to 20) they choose the app on their ipad to
do so
primarypete_ 20:07
I love using game based learning during whole class sessions. Find
that girls + boys get a lot out of it in terms of engagement
#ukedchat
bevevans22 20:07
@dfmurphy84 #ukedchat think - pair - share is great: you've just
got to remember to include the initial think time first...
materialteacher 20:07
#ukedchat I like to start the lesson with a 'thunk' or a riddle- gets
the thinking started!

@bilehs @kiwiteacheruk How lucky you are to have such 'guest'.
The amount of people the children and I have been this year!
#ukedchat
xPunzx 20:44@ldeacon really? i like mini whiteboards, i think the more u usethem the better kids are with them! #ukedchat

#ukedchat I love using'cogs'.Ch sit in = numbers with inner and
outer circle. They discuss with member from other circle. Then
inner rotates
dughall 20:44 @deerwood Yeah, yeah, yeah ;-) @SimonBainbridge #ukedchat

@Shaf_Hansraj Me too!! It makes life easier for the teacher, its
easier to personalise learning too #ukedchat
cherrylkd 20:45 @Smichael920 #ukedchat what a fab idea. Cross curricular too.

@cherrylkd still not convinced. I'm a natural geek, but i have seen
and taught non tech lessons that work.#ukedchat
mattbuxton10 20:45
Mini-wboard vs iPad debate misses point? Rather great learning
with M-W than uninspiring stuff on iPad? Use whatever fits purpose
#ukedchat
Janshs 20:45#ukedchat I like using iWB 4 stdts to ask & answer Qs when workingon problem 'alone'

RT @MsKateRyan: Hardly innovative, but we should engage with
students as people, as well as learners. Find out what makes them
tick and go! #UKEdchat
bevevans22 20:46
@primarypete_ With younger pupils a colleague uses 'The Magic
Chair' http://j.mp/boLJlT - It's an inspired idea :) #ukedchat
materialteacher 20:46@hoopers1 #ukedchat Agreed! Just get them to do group work allthe time, different all the time- variation is the key!
Shaf_Hansraj 20:46
#ukedchat during a recent assessment we had learners with laptops
live blogging whilst seeing images from DVD - class could compare
ideas...
CliveBuckley 20:46 Do your students talk - or are they too busy blogging? #ukedchat

We use massage in Seal which works really well for the children.

#ukedchat even in same abs pupils will be learning and processing
in many different ways
john_at_muuua 20:46
@cherrylkd by 'paper/pencil' i meant back to basics. How about
none of the above. Lesson in a room. no resources? #ukedchat
DrAshCasey 20:46
used long term heterogeneous groups with no friendships or
rivalries then taught using these groups through cooperative
learning #ukedchat

RT @Creativeedu: technology only works as an innovative solution
if used well. It should facilitate learning not replace teaching
#ukedchat

Get parents / children collaborating the BBC doomsday reloaded
project for a snap shot if daily life #ukedchat gets real home/school

@colport tbh not used in y1 yet - but would do. No reason not to if
social etiquette is discussed first #ukedchat
jackieschneider 20:47
#ukedchat - anyone let kids plan research school trips? Ring for
availability get quotes? Plan activities?
JOHNSAYERS 20:47
Get students using xbox kinect in the morning. Raises heart rate
before the day gets blood flow going students more alert to learn
#ukedchat
teacherhut 20:47
#ukedchat we have a bag with a photo of each child inside for
random selection - more personal than lolly sticks

I must say that I think #storybird www.storybird.com is one of the
most creative uses of the web for inspiring writing. #ukedchat
Shaf_Hansraj 20:47
#ukedchat...in real time and had a live record of ideas for
assessment on a forum on the VLE

I like the way #ukedchat appears to be leaning towards AfL
strategies here!
bevevans22 20:48
@OhLottie #ukedchat Not seen those. http://j.mp/iqmAvw and
The Hat http://j.mp/4qnNRT good too
CliveBuckley 20:48
Question! Everything sounds great but where is your evidence-
based research data? Done the analytics? #ukedchat
