good afternoon. So for the Learning Literacy Exhibition,
I can do
a video instead of actually recording, um, my posters and made out
because I don't tend to actually it off or paper to do it with.
So
what we're gonna do is look at
my businesses class that I teach within the school I work in
and how I learn. I use my, um, digital literacy.
Focus on on digital literacy Overall,
no
First slide, Says says
Research
Group is a class of 30 students,
and they all range from school year 10 to year 11,
and
they can choose businesses on a one year course or two year course.
It's down to whatever they choose.
Typical lesson consists of teacher discussions followed by a
port project.
The lesson is based around an assessment. Then we have. We just It's more of,
um,
I delegate to the class What they gotta do.
They mark their work and they should know they got assignments due.
They crack on with it during the lesson,
rather than being in the home and losing time, because due to the area we work in,
there's quite a lot of poverty.
So not every student is able to
access Internet or a means of, um, computer work at home.
And,
yeah, overall,
it can be quite hard for them to get the work done.
But a major concern
is that the learners has been on the phone communicating via text
and some kind of social media app. So whether it's Snapchat,
um, Tiktok
Instagram,
whatever doing these kids seem to be on the phones quite a lot as you can imagine,
but within teaching, I find that learners prefer watching videos
on YouTube
and discuss what was learned and apply it to a case study.
In general,
I feel the majority of the learners lack of motivation
with TAS and have a lot of reason involved.
But most will be able to sit and read articles
based on, um,
for
team, for example,
or
a celebrity
or influencer.
You know, they can sit. They can sit there on the phone, keeps
grow, score scroll,
and I read paragraph after paragraph to paragraph,
find out the information or gossip
and tea, as you say
about certain celebrities.
So these skills these learners actually are using
no, they they use literacy in everyday life, and they just don't realise it.
They said All these different applications you have,
you know,
they unknowingly
using these skills.
So when,
like
writing and read and I've been
involved in the lessons
and I get a response like I
can be both with this, Do we have to do it?
I'll say This is boring. I don't want to do this anymore. Can we do something else?
Can be Minecraft.
Can we do something else
better than necessarily play games
know because
the contained skills that the learners of
subconscious use with their family and friends.
So furthermore, it was soon apparent
after investigation,
the students participate within a whole array of multi mode activities,
subconsciously,
as we all do,
so as a newly appointed teacher of business, I t.
Um,
I took up in November last year.
I am mindful of building a sufficient level of rapport with all my learners
and a satellite to ensure active role within mentor and fellow students.
These views are similar to those of petty, who claimed
that unless report is established,
a physiological a psychological barrier is created
that stops taking part in discussions,
asking questions or asking for help is eventually results in the learners,
feeling isolated within the classroom and then achieving.
Overall, I believe I have a
rather good report with my learners know they'll pop in.
If I'm free in the morning, whatever they pop in and speak to me, say like I'm doing
um,
saying back to them.
They know that if they need to talk to me, they can. They can approach.
I'm very approachable
and easy to talk to,
which goes a long way, especially with teenagers, who are,
I said, struggling at home with poverty and
other situations.
They need it. They need attention sometimes.
So my main challenge.
So initially, the challenge is that students find written tasks,
assessments and Google slides
to be boring and repetitive.
Within the end, Academic year approaching and the business finance reset,
Exam approaching
is critical for the benefit of the learners
to find alternative methods to ensure sufficient amount of revision is completed.
So through the revision process,
students will use applications and websites such as
learning, which I'll go through in a minute with you,
um,
and videos and two teachers neo
teacher made
and and it always will help them
get further
with the the
the revision
so they can make their own resources.
They can play making their own quiz and test their friends and John.
So, as John
State State, John Dewey states,
we learn by doing
so, if again, learners actively involved in the revision process.
I would like to think that they are approaching as learners are more likely,
and they're appropriate,
as learners are more likely to remember what they think or relate,
rather than reading from a book or slide show.
So,
you know, it's quite boring looking through a book all the time
and
constantly
so read it, read from my book, gets a bit boring. They lose motivation.
I well, that's why I find Overall,
um,
it's not as fun as sitting there watching a six minute video,
because six minutes is long enough to keep them
and they're snappy. It's full of information,
and usually they are. If you get an updated video,
it's more apparent to them. It's more
example,
and I'm going to show a video that's been based on,
um, Love film, which was around,
I
say, 10 years ago,
when most
about four, about 15 16,
so they were 56 at a time
where, as now we have Netflix. So I changed the film for Netflix, making it more
modernised more,
um, current,
the current trends and that type of stuff.
So let's go back to my evaluation.
Oh,
as Jeff Pettier stated,
students are more much more likely to be committed and interested in their work
when they feel a sense of ownership and are more likely to become active learners
during the activity.
The above quote had become obvious when looking through past exam results.
Compared to the effort the learners are putting
in division during vision sessions during the lesson.
So watching the learners go through Seneca
and playing the Hoop games,
I'm a little bit of fun testing their friends,
writing down on notes. These are their tactics that I find
works really well with them
and explains it overall better. It's only so much.
It's only so long that they can sit there and listen to me to me talk about
certain things, and it gives my my voice a break. I can observe the lesson,
see where everyone's working
and
it it all makes sense.
So that's my valuation.
My references are here with Jeff petty.
I do like a pedagogy focus as well
and
do is there.
So my next section I'm gonna look at
turn on
and I share my screen with you to have a look at what other things we've done.
First of all, before we do that,
you know,
it's better.
So I've made
these lovely,
um,
screen, not screens. There is a piece of paper
where
it shows, um title what? Looking at definition.
Usually they are bright coloured ones. But I had
I lost my co one somewhere,
but I've got my back and my copies as well
to explain to them what they have, what they're looking at to help help with vision.
Tells them, for example, finance. Now,
um,
tell the certain formulas or the calculation they
they need to use example fixed cost.
What is a fixed cost was a variable variable cost
the cost that rises, output raise as output rises.
There's all these other things that Oh, yes, it's not. Be quick. Easy.
It's easy to read. It's not a massive paragraph of reading
that they would have in a book.
So I'm gonna show you share my screen with you.
First of all.
We're gonna go on
here
just green,
so I wouldn't do
show my booklet, first of all, so
it started off showing
this booklet. I scanned it,
and it's also do with promoting a brand, for example.
And it was
It's all helped with assignments and their exams. They read through it.
It's a
child friend is in a friendly book
that explains everything that they need.
However,
like you say, there's a lot of reading and they don't really like reading much.
So that's one way that they help revise. If they want to sit there and
do it that way, I'm more than happy for them to do it.
The next one we're gonna look at
is about
learning, and these are websites that we've used within the lessons
they have on the Google classrooms as well,
and it works a lot more better,
so we share screen
and we'll go
at
Seneca.
So
then
it's a lovely, lovely thing
I
can see in my lane,
so it shows basically
everything that they need to look at,
so we'll have a type of
structures. They'll click through,
explains why each one is click through
and they know they've done that, the screen at the top.
They can scroll to the next one to continue
next one. Then he comes up with,
um, little quizzes or little games to the test,
to read through what they need to look at,
and they'll put in the answer.
And if it's wrong
or correct, they'll protect the name.
Next one. They have
games,
so it's a It's a very good, um, piece of kit to use.
They have exam prep on. There
they have.
Um,
Everything you look at is on the left hand
side of the different court modules and all the,
um, courses.
Wrong answers there.
So that's my cynical learning.
And then we will go to
this one. Now is gonna be cahoot
and
cos
one of these things that
you can use You can make easy.
You don't need to be a rocket science
scientists to make a cahoot, um, quiz simple things to do.
If it's things that you and your friends are stuck on,
you can create a quiz
and test yourselves.
There's loads on there.
There's even premade quizzes on there, like I I use been using by here.
So that's
the cahoot and then another one that we I like using
is called two teachers, and they are
two teachers, business studies who have made
blogs and resources and knowledge hubs
for other teachers to use
and their current trends.
And it's like as our customer needs established local, loyal customers.
We look, we look at a lot of videos. There's a lot of resources on there,
and all the learners know about this as well.
So
there's loads of things that they they can look at,
and it's very current. It's very popular.
It's easy to understand
you give me access to back on their phones as well. Then you download the
app they download the Seneca APP teacher made. They can make their own, um,
notes, test their friends. You can do that on
as well. Make a lot of notes, a little flash cards.
So
that is my
learning Literacy exhibition completed.
I've been through
my challenge, has shown some
posters and display boards. I I can I maybe make,
um,
different me social media used.
Then that's it.
Thank you very much.
