Today we had out first session at trying to do this. The students read through my prepared piece a few times by themselves then they did their recordings.
The plan was to use the Chrome extension mentioned in the last blog post but that plan was soon thrown in the bin when that extension appeared to be blocked on the student Chrome books. (note to self - go see Dev and get it unblocked).
We used my mac book instead. I set it up in my back room and they went out there one at a time to do their recordings.
While they were practicing in the class room, I took a short video as it was very entertaining hearing the repeats and seeing the concentration.
Really interesting seeing the development from the previous post to this one. I can see how this scaffolding will support them to move on and record independently.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorothy. the next step is for them to write their own to read out.
DeleteHi Karen, can see some possibilities here for your students' self/peer assessment contributing to your practice change conversation. In other words are the students noticing any changes you are making and are they making a difference for them. Thinking about what Aaron said " How will you know whether the intended ‘teaching and learning’ was the same as the actual ‘teaching and learning’ experienced by your learners?
ReplyDeleteNice work on dealing with the tech BTW ;-)
Thanks Fiona. I was thinking about putting their recordings into the community so they can give feedback to each other based on the rubric.
DeleteHi Karen
ReplyDeleteI really can see a lot of potential in the approach you are using here. I like the way they are practicing first with a supported script/example and will then move on to their own one - nice systematic progression from support to increased independence (the hallmark of good scaffolding!). I think the recordings and the checklists in combination can provide really useful of evidence of shifts over time. The lists do a good job making explicit exactly what you changes you are looking for - they are very clear and (deceptively!) simple - I say deceptively simple because I know how hard it is to really articulate in simple terms what you are trying to achieve. Looking forward to seeing/listening to and reading more about this!
Thanks Aaron. It has been difficult to articulate what I wanted to see happening in terms of progression. The visit with Fiona was great as I was able to burble on vaguely and then she helped me make sense of it.
