Have been recovering today so that has lent itself to lots of time to think.
I am wondering how to ensure that my class achieves their ful potential in all subjects , but particularly writing.
What I find really difficult is that there are so many initiatives and resources that I get distracted by them all and end up thinking too much and cosequently do nothing.
Now is the time to take action..
I definitely want to do something with Myst , but am wondering whether to fisrt introduce it to a small group of my boys who are really lacking confidence , giving them the heads up on the rest of the class.
I'd also like to feed in the use of the blog and some comic book creation ( wish we had comic life)
So I think I might invite a few of my boys along to a secret lunchtime club, with some treats ! and go from there . Any comments would be much appreciated

That might work but it might take away some of the 'WOW!!!' factor that they would get seeing it first on the IWB.
ReplyDeleteI would strongly encourage you to get your hands on a wireless mouse (iPhone has an app for that) and when you/they move around the screen away from standing next to the computer you can/will hear the sharp intakes of breathe ;o)
I found last year that all were able to come up with brilliant descriptions some just needed their wow words being scribed.
Thanks for comment.
ReplyDeleteThe idea is I hope that I will take my group of boys to use it in the ICT suite on a lunctime with the IWB. I have written aletter to each one which they should find on their desks to up the interst factor.
I have a wireless mouse so that should be ok ;-)
I kind of want them to be the first and then when the whole class has a go later in the term or next term, they will be enjoying the reactions of the others if that makes sense
It does indeed ;o)
ReplyDeleteI had a go with it quite a bit before I went in front of the kids as it took a while to control my mouse movements hehehehehe
