My inquiry is based around making the class site a much more supportive and multi modal environment for the students to use. Blog post 1 here Blog post 2 here outlining how I see the inquiry problem.
Part of that recently was to make examples and support videos of the design brief process for my Year 12 students. I purposefully only did part of the process to see if there was any use for this support.
Link here to where this is on the class site - as of writing this blog post, I included support up to page 4 of the design brief document.
I have recently received feedback form two students from that class who are further ahead than the rest of the class.
Student A was the first to get ahead of where I had included support. He comes to talk to me one to one a lot and we discuss together what he is working on at the time. I asked him if the support on the site had been helpful. He had used it but he still comes to me to talk one to one. Then I asked him if the support on the site was any good as he was talking to me a lot more than the rest of the class. Did I need to improve or change it to make it more useful. He does use the site but he really likes to talk one to one so he can go over his work in detail and get ongoing feedback so he knows he os on the right track.
Student B came to me this week as she had got as far as the support on the site had and was asking me where the next ones were. I asked here if she had been using the videos on the site up to now and she said she has been using all of them. She said they were really helpful. This student is very hard working and always likes to keep up to date with her work and she said the videos helped her with this. She is very self motivated and will work at home and email me regularly to check her work.
When I look on YouTube, where I have uploaded the videos, there is definite evidence of the videos that I have made for the Year 12's so far this year being watched.
