So here it is... An image from a pack for a client. Nottingham e-Learning centres have commissioned a Pilot pack of materials for their website to encourage greater traffic to a section. I have been putting this Pilot together for a few weeks on and off but it is based around a simple idea I saw elsewhere, a vacuum bazooka
As I have said before, it is not enough to see an idea in a book or article, you need to actually know how it works because as a teacher in a classroom you do not want to be fiddling with settings the first time through
That is where consultancy comes in. the Pilot pack will contain Photos, Films with titles, me doing a talking head about the project, 2 worksheets to get you started, a 5 page manual and proof that the thing works! When it is all uploaded you will have a kit to run the whole thing where you can combine my skills in experimentation and creativity with yours in class delivery of your own students, and we are all a winner.
The Internet is full of 'all you need to do is' text statements of supposedly wonderful projects, perhaps we should have an agreed listing of what class projects should contain so that there is a minimum standard, then we can leave behind all those awful online 'lesson plans' which for many subjects take ages to source the materials, trial the lesson and work out the bugs!
