Learning Walks Feedback Walk 10 – Active Learning (2) Feb 2012

There have been some creative ways in which teachers have encouraged students’ active involvement in the lesson and given ownership of the learning to students. Some of these include asking students to decide on the learning objectives for themselves after the starter; giving students responsibility for leading parts of the lesson and using investigation and discussion to encourage participation. New technologies are also being used very creatively in some lessons to motivate and enthuse students to work independently – several examples of blogging and chroma key, as well as preparing Skype conversations were seen to be very effective in ‘immersing’ students in their learning.

Thanks again to everybody who has participated in this Learning Walk.  The current focus is differentiation.
