Before we begin…


ORGANISING OUR CLASSROOM

What are our options? What can help us to stay sane?


Option 1 Option 2

Computers: Setting up a pod


OPTION 1Using computers like this allows children to work together at separate computers.

You can have two children per computer. One can be the driver, one can be the navigator.

The driver works the keyboard and mouse.

The navigator tells them where to click and what to type.


OPTION 2More than one child can use the computer- a whole group can stand around a computer

Inquiry

Watching videos

Publishing together

OPTION 3


OPTION 3Permanent space for laptop so used every lesson if possible

Useful for ESOL & Special needs

Group work IndividualPairs

Less noise


Tidying Up


SOLVING PROBLEMS SAVES SANITY


BOOKS ON THE COMPUTER

STAYING SAFE


My LGP/ Netsafe / Hector’s World

If it’s not comfortable, get help

Never give your full name

Never give your location

Never name a photograph unless you can protect the post

WIKIS AND BLOGS

Using a blog or a wiki: Make one and use it yourself first

Use the online tutorial

Use what other people around you use, if possible

BLOGGER


WORDPRESS.COM


All of these websites have tutorialsLook for links and use what suits you best

If someone at your school is good at Wikis, use them to help you

If they have a blog, use the blog platform

Use it yourself first to set it up and gain confidence


YOU DON’T NEED A BLOG

Set up a bookmark on the internet

Choose a program


PLANNING FOR ELEARNING


PROGRESSION
