10 Creative Ways To Use Video in Your School - Flipped Learning Network Hub
--Originally published at Flipped Learning – Ed Tech Enthusiast Why use video? They say “a picture is worth a thousand words”. So, at 24 frames a second, a 2 minute video is worth 2,880,000 words. So, without further ado… 10. At my school, every head of faculty makes a subject selection video which parents and students can watch in the comfort of their own home. Slightly more arty than most. We still have subject selection night. 9. Instead, why not use video to provide on-demand professional development to staff. Teachers can choose when and whether they watch it. 8. Why not record your assignment explanation. 7. Why not make them a video. 6. You could write them a long drawn out email describing it all. 5.

What a delightful, whimsical book! The Leaf Man uses the shapes and colours of different leaves as inspiration for its illustrations. The story explores where the mythical ‘Leaf Man’ goes, whenever the wind blows. This gorgeous book was brought to my attention when I posted these photos of leaf creatures on my Facebook page. Pictures & craft ideas found here: One of our members mentioned that they had read The Leaf Man to their class and then used it as inspiration to create similar pictures. I think it would make a lovely afternoon of reading, collecting leaves and then creating leaf creatures of their own. I will post photos of some leaf creatures that I have made soon! The Black Book of Colours by Menena Cottin is the most unique picture book I’ve come across. Kathy, one of the members of our Facebook community, recently posted some 5 senses poetry that her students wrote after reading the book.

Published: 6:07AM Saturday August 16, 2014 Source: ONE News Compelling research shows learning outcomes for children with dyslexia can be vastly improved. Specialised, early intervention can significantly boost success at school for a child with dyslexia, a pilot study shows. One-on-one, personalised tuition resulted in vast and surprising improvements in achievement skills, Karen Waldie, Associate Professor of the School of Psychology at Auckland University, says. SPELD NZ, in collaboration with school RTLBs (Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour), carried out the study involving 42 seven-year-old students struggling in the classroom as a result of dyslexia. Ms Waldie says she was taken by surprise and "truly impressed" by the resulting data. "The children increased their predicted reading success by 20-44 percent in areas of sound blending, phonemic awareness, verbal comprehension and reading fluency.
