Abstract and howto

The 6 main sample Guidelines-only templates [in PowerPoint /breeze format] demonstrate a way of helping a teacher prepare some teaching material and follow teaching plans suggested in the 3Ps Chart 8 in Talk 2 [see copy below]. We aim to help a teacher who wants to use some new technology for either distance or blended learning, but does not know how to.

We would start by explaining our basic approach to this teacher, and then take her/him through one or more templates. The explanation could be f2f, or as a voice-over while the teacher is looking at the template, or else we might omit the explanation and let the templates stand alone. That is one of the aspects we ask you to comment on in the survey.

On each PowerPoint slide, there are choices of method and technology that the teacher can select from. In our final version there will be some links to examples of new technology, e.g. an audio or video clip, or some pictures, etc. However, we are not showing these for the survey because we have not yet prepared them.

Note: Clicking anywhere on a slide will take you to the next slide.

Also, in the final version, we will provide the teacher with some blank Word documents containing charts where she/he can make notes of what method and technology she/he selects from any of the templates. This blank chart will be her/his blueprint for a teaching plan. In a separate folder called Fill-in-the-blanks templates you can look at the two examples of the kinds of blank chart we will provide in our final version of the project. We have filled them in with some imagined details to give you an impression of what a teacher might do.

3 Resource based PRACTICE PRESENTATION PERFORMANCE
Ask learners to look for sources of the knowledge, summarise the knowledge for them, test.
4 Discovery learning PRACTICE PERFORMANCE PRESENTATION
Arrange activities through which learners to discover the knowledge, test, summarise the knowledge for them.
5 Problem based PERFORMANCE PRESENTATION PRACTICE
Set a problem for the learners to solve, present the solution, arrange further practice.
