Mini TeachMeet 3

In the third Mini TeachMeet, GW and BJW shared ideas.

1. Dvolver moviemaker (GW)

• GW explained how she had used this online simple animation/storyboard site with her Year 10 class. The students were set a task to write an animated story to explain the concept of xxx to their peers.
• Possible uses were discussed including:
• Explaining a new concept to your peers in your own words for any subject
• For the 2 characters to have a conversation in a foreign language for MFL
• To explain the stages of a method or process in maths or other subjects.
• The group then made their own animations using the laptops

2. Integrating Careers Education into the Curriculum (BJW)

• Recommendation 4 from John Holman’s research on good careers guidance regarding linking the curriculum to careers guidance was used as a context for the session.
• With the upcoming Careers week, BJW delivered a presentation aimed at helping all staff to integrate information relevant to their subjects into their lessons.
• She shared a wide range of resources to help teachers, online, on the network and in printed form so that all reps had access to relevant material and ideas.
