Practice test

 Last week my learners have been working on the Practice test. I have been using google jam board to familiarize them with keywords and it has been a helpful full activity to rewind their learning too.

Maths is not an easy subject for teaching online however Dochub helped me to overcome the obstacles.

Here is the link to the progress. I am very impressed with their progress so far and I am planning to do more practice next week too.

Here is the sample of my practice test along with  my explanation:

Year13s online learning

I have been working on the “Miro ” online board with my year13 Calculus class to do their workbook and revision which incorporates literacy skills, Algebraic skills. My learners found it useful for rewindable learning to recall what they have already learned. Here are the examples:

 This is a collaborative online whiteboard platform that enables learners to work effectively together with digital sticky notes. Learners found it beneficial as it is a nice, crisp, fresh interface.

 I used DocHub to practice past papers too. Learners enjoyed seamless PDF transfers between their Drive and DocHub.

Remote learning

My learners found it very useful with Googlejam board for Do nows and DocHub for an explanation using a freehand pen. I continued the Googlejam board to practice keywords and drill accuracy skills.

Here is the collection:

Student work

As I am running out of space Miro online board in due to my allocated space have been used for my year13 calculus class. Therefore I am planning to try Desmoswhite to engage my learners.

 I attended the Manaiakalani Secondary School Department discussion via google connect with Maths teachers yesterday. It was led by Kerry Boyde -Preece (Manaiakalani Secondary Specialist). Everyone shared examples of Learn, create, share is like in Maths in their schools.  I really got fascinated with how does the DMIC pedagogy is in secondary. This explores how culturally responsive pedagogy influences diverse learners. Promotes  Learn, Create share approach, problem-solving strategies too.

Here is my contribution:

Inquiry Question#6-6/1: Restate your inquiry question and your theory of action/chain of events (so you keep your eyes on the prize) Quion #6/2: Describe how you will collect information about the implementation of your changed practices/intervention (so it is clear what you do differently)

My Learners have completed three internals and now working on the last internal.

My learners struggling with contextually based questions, careless mistakes with skills, and rewind the learning. Recently I have introduced DocHub, Google jam board, and Miro online board which will address all the issues, lessons are interactive and enjoyable and ideal tools for remote learning. The three areas are indicated on the flow chart with the respective implementation strategies.

Tweak: How to collaborate and create integrated lessons to improve literacy, skills, and rewindable learning using Miro Online whiteboard, DocHub, and Google jam board. Link

I am going to collect the information using a tracking sheet, online group activity, online feedback, conversations, and an Excel spread sheet.

Joy of Learning

 Our recent experience of Lockdown and the urgent shift to online learning highlighted the need for my learners to be digitally fluent.  I feel proud of the fact they were prepared and ready to cope with this change.  Over the past years, our school has embraced the challenge to move from an analogue traditional classroom to a digital environment. 

We are working on Linear Algebra at the moment. I tried Google jam board for skill practice, used Doc Hub to teach by turning PDF documents to editing mode/Free handwriting, and Miro online board too. 

Here is an example:

Do now: Matching activity -My learners completed it as a group activity and thoroughly enjoyed it. Link

•

Lesson: Using Doc Hub Link-I shared the documents explained using a free handwriting pen.

Learners found it enjoyable and understood the lesson as I brought the classroom environment via virtual meet. To check their understanding further I asked them to work on a quick test. I made them send their answers and gave them immediate feedback. Here is the example.
