Aim

• Explore new ways of engaging with learners

• Make use of technologies available in order to enrich reflection, assessment and feedback activity

• Consider and discuss the use of technology in your own context

• Experience the use of digital voice recorders and “Flip” video cameras

What counts as teaching practice in the workplace?

Activity 1- to explore the issues

• 4 volunteers

• How might audio and video be used in the workplace to help learners reflect on their skills and learning development needs?

• Other participants to take on the role of observers and commentators

Activity 2

• 2 volunteers– One to be the “learner” and one to be the

“teacher/coach/mentor”.

• Other participants to take on the role of observers and commentators

Activity 2

• The “learner” has to make a paper hat (or paper aeroplane,etc) and give a running commentary whilst making it– ( 3 mins)

• The “teacher” gives feedback to the “learner” on the procedure and final creation.– (2 mins)
