Or, Why do these guys
Not talk to each other?
The following slides attempt to identify some of the key influences on Teaching & Learning.
Starting with classroom strategies, the tools we use, our attitudes to 24/7/365 VLE access, and parental voice, where does the architect come into the circle?

For too long teachers have always been in control of learning.
“This is what we are going to do and this is how we will do it. You have 55 minutes left to complete the task!”
But no more, things are changing.

We might begin to say to our students,
“Here is a map, decide where you are on the map and choose the target that you want to get to. Decide how you will get there and the tools and methods you will use for success.”

For too long we have expected the same standards of behaviour from everyone. We have expected them all to work at the same speed, use the same resources and accept our opinions as the only opinions.

In many schools teachers would ask rhetorical questions, knowing which pupils will have their hands up first.
Many schools are now using a ‘no-hands’ policy – it certainly puts the whole class into a state of alertness.

Not only teachers, but ‘Other Adults’ such as Learning Assistants, Librarians, Technicians, SEN staff, and visiting adults all have an input.
Students, equally, have opportunity to pop out of lessons in order to see such staff or access resources not in their own classroom.

A large sports hall converted into a cyber café for pupils in school.
Students engrossed in personalised learning. For 45 years I have always taught through project work or ‘problem solving’.
No better antidote to plagiarism than doing work which is ‘owned’, motivated and original.

My School!
Where pupils learnt,
And TeachersTaught!
9.00 ’til 4.00
Where and when do students learn best?
Jay Cross sheds some interesting insights into the workplace and what makes for good productivity in his book, ‘Informal Learning’. Some students log-on even at 3.00 am!

What tools do our pupils use?
Even from an early age children use or possess and are comfortable with many different devices. Older students have their iPhones, MP3 players, tablets and Blackberries.

And what of the software?
Gone are the days when ICT lessons were dominated by MS Office. ‘Free’ tools, Open Social Software are THE tools, collaboration and richer learning all available on a variety of devices.
When do pupils start to learn?
We see various adverts about children copying the habits of their parents. In terms of teaching and learning it is no surprise that many children expect to be using computers pre-school.
And what of assessment?
The grammatical root of ‘assessment’ is about ‘sitting alongside’ someone.
The joy and pride of ownership is something which teachers understand to be a very powerful factor in learning.

Teaching and learning is no longer confined to the school day or building. VLEs make access available to pupils, staff, parents, 24/7.
Home schooling is the best solution for some. And what of children or families who are always on the move?
Children at school can often benefit from the interest and support shown by parents and carers at home.

Perhaps one thing that will come to be the major influence in teaching and learning is not the teacher, furniture or architectural layout but rather the ability of students to be in control of their learning and to be able to celebrate best practice - using an e-Portfolio?
ePortfolios are not just for ‘children’, young learners or even HE students.
ePortfolios are equally the domain of any professional as can be seen by this ‘young’ learner.
He records a lifetime of achievement and is still going strong!
