I’m a firm believer that technology should provide at least one of two things in a classroom to be worth using, extra time or learning enrichment. All too often technology, if shoe horned in and if not planned properly, can be a time waster. I’ve settled into a routine now that I feel gives me a little extra capacity in my lessons.
1. Class enters to a starter activity made in the app called Paper. The bonus of this is I can write my starter questions quickly in my free time and have them ready to go.
2. I Hit the ‘freeze’ button on the projector so the board doesn’t change, and flip over into my register. I use iDoceo to do a quick visual register without disturbing the class who are silently working.
3. If I haven’t already, I write my lesson objectives, WILTs/WILFs, and any lesson details in Paper to get ahead of myself.
4. Finally I flip back to the starter, unfreeze the projector and go through the answers with pupils.
I like this system as I can multitask and carry out a number of jobs at the same time without interrupting the flow of the lesson.
Does anyone know of other tricks to buy more time in lessons?
