Horse race dictation It is enjoyable because students are asked to predict the first word, in the same way people try to guess which horse will come first in a race, giving a strong motivation for the short but very intensive listening activity, in the form of a horse race commentary, which gives the solution. PreparationChoose a sentence and write words in random order on the left of the board, as in the example below. You also need to prepare a commentary, which should be challenging enough to make it interesting but not too difficult. In the example below there is only one major change in order, when, and other minor changes during the race. finallywaso’clockelevenhomewhenIitgot Example commentaryThey’re off! Example answer: When I finally got home it was eleven o’clock. Procedure By Simon Mumford
Vad ska en lärarstudent kunna om IT och lärande? - Forskarbloggen Mycket har sagts om lärarstudenters IT- kompetens och lärarutbildningarnas påstådda brister i att möta digitaliseringens konsekvenser i klassrummen. Eftersom de lärarstudenter som nu går utbildningen kommer ut i klassrum där digitala redskap är vardagsmat, ställs det ökande krav på att lärarutbildningen ligger i fas med hur verkligheten för en lärare ser ut. I alla Sveriges 290 kommuner finns det nu pågående 1:1 -projekt, där eleverna är försedda med egna surfplattor, chromebooks eller laptops och andelen elever som har egna smarta internetuppkopplade telefoner ligger närmare 100 %. Det är självfallet oerhört viktigt att lärarstudenterna är förberedda för detta. Jag och docent Johan Lundin på institutionen för tillämpad IT på Göteborgs Universitet skrev i höstas ett måldokument för att möta de nya behoven. Detta gäller nu för alla lärarprogrammen vid Göteborgs Universitet och ska vara genomfört senast 2020. Martin Tallvid
Finding the game-like challenge!* *With minimal preparation involved… Following a recent Friday workshop on teaching teenagers, in which, amongst other things, we discussed the difference between playing games for the sake of playing games and adding a game-like challenge into the activities we do in class, I have been thinking about different ways we can do this, without spending heaps of extra time on preparation. Here are some of the ideas I’ve come up with: 1. Board it and collaborate Instead of (or as well as/before) having learners complete a table in their books, individually, why not put them in teams, put the table on the board and get them to race to complete the table accurately: Linking words with teenagers Here is an example from a teenager class of mine, looking at linking words in a writing lesson. 2. The age-old game of bingo can be used to liven up writing activities, as Sandy explains here or speaking activities, as I describe here. Bingo with L9 3. 60 seconds…starting now! 4. Kinaesthetic to the max! 5.
BBC micro:bit på väg till lärare och elever – Omvärldsbloggen I mitten av juli förra året skrev jag om BBC micro:bit, en liten enkel dator som BBC och deras samarbetspartners tagit fram för att visa programmeringens möjligheter för barn och ungdomar, och för deras lärare. Det rör sig om ett mikrokontrollerkort utan eget operativsystem med LED-display, två programmerbara knappar samt kompass och accelerometer. Micro:bit kan programmeras att styra och samverka med en lång rad olika elektroniska komponenter via usb eller bluetooth. Det ursprungliga målet var att alla brittiska lärare som undervisar i årskurs sju (elva- och tolvåringar) skulle få varsin i september, och att det skulle bli dags för eleverna månaden därpå. Tyvärr visade det sig att det fanns problem med strömförsörjningen på den första modellen, men nu är detta löst och man har även genomfört en del förbättringar. I England har detta lett till att programmering och kreativ problemlösning har förts in i läroplanen, vilket börjar bli allt vanligare i Europas skolor.
Epic Fail or Win? Gamifying Learning in My Classroom Every week for 17 years, I've heard my students ask, "What do I need to do to get an A?" Historically, many have focused on their grade rather than on fundamental skills. My attempt to change this mindset started two years ago when I gamified learning in my classes. After researching gamification and its potential to help students master skills and processes, I used the 3DGameLab and then Gradecraft to develop and implement game-based learning. Steps to Gamify Learning 1. Using gamification software alleviates the time it takes to build quests, award points, and track progress. 2. Using a gamifying management system, I modified traditional assignments into quests -- short learning activities that take 10-25 minutes to complete. 3. Associate each quest with a certain number of points relative to its level of difficulty. 4. Build choice into the gaming structure. 3D Gamelab screenshot: A quest on digital footprints.

Spelling Bee What are the different ways to play the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee? There are two different ways to play. In the Tournament Spelling Bee, you'll be challenged by a series of words, with the spelling difficulty adapted to your skill level. The more words you get right, the higher your score will go, on a scale from 200 to 800. You can compete against other spellers, since we keep track of high scores (with streaks of correct answers serving as tiebreakers). You can also try a Community Spelling Bee generated from one of our subscribers' word lists. How does the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee work? Each turn, you'll hear the recording of the word and see its definition (with words suitably omitted that might give away the correct spelling). In the Tournament Spelling Bee, the more words you get right, the higher your score will go. If you play a Community Spelling Bee, the words from the selected word list are presented in random order. What happens if I misspell a word?
