Supporting Slides - Helene Galdin-O'Shea iPads in the Media Classroom - An AFL toolTRANSCRIPT
Making the Learning (more) VisibleCan iPads help in the Media classroom?
“Know thy impact…”John Hattie
“Practice in the classroom is formative to the extent that the evidence about student achievement is elicited, interpreted,
and used by teachers, learners or their peers, to make decisions about the next steps in instruction that are likely to be better, or better founded, than the decisions they would
have taken in the absence of the evidence that was elicited.”P. Black and D. Wiliam
• Research• Collaborative work•AFL • Critique • Redrafting
Time saving!
–No waiting around for computers to start– Internet access from any room– iPad camera cuts down on getting out other
equipment–AND videos can be uploaded to a Youtube
channel instantly–Combined with iMovie, videos can be
quickly edited and uploaded
Research
• In the classroom, on the spot…– Internet searches: reference sites, articles, videos,
blog posts, twitter searches…
– Prepared resources: links from the main teaching blog, QR codes, Dropbox, Evernote…
Students watch recommended videos, follow links to articles, then screengrab and annotate or add a videoed commentary or group discussion.
QR code readers are a quick way of allowing students to go directly to a site / article.
Prepare a series of QR codes to allow them to research a topic.

More collaborative tasksLearn and create…
…Using the camera…Using ShowMe app or better, Explain Everything…Using iMovie to create a trailer
Aim: Record learning as it happens.Advantages: save to camera roll, export to YouTube
and embed into blog… comments on the blog for self- and peer-assessment
Examples from AS• Quick plenaries: Students record themselves explaining what they
have explored in the lessonINFORMS PLANNING FOR NEXT LESSON: Can be used at the start of the next lesson to clear misunderstandings and address gaps

Oracy to improve Literacy
• If you can articulate it well, you have a better chance of writing it well!
• ExplainEverything is a great tool for that.
Your turn to have a go!
• Use ExplainEverything to prepare a presentation for us
• You can redraft and improve as you go, one slide at a time.
• Combine pictures, annotations and audio commentary.
• Selection of tasks.

Peer Critiqueand
Reflecting/Redrafting
• Be Kind• Be Helpful• Be specific
From the front: iPad as visualiser
Or swapping iPad with another group – Use post-its for critiqueThen before handing back, share your findings!
Finally, have a go at making improvements or record what improvements you would make.
Redrafting with ExplainEverything
• Students can re-record their audio commentary for each separate slide until it’s as good as possible.
• Example from GCSE Media: Student with SEN with TA assistance– Preparing a revision presentation on the
