21st Century Learning/Ināianei Tonu

Another personalised learning model that fits in with 21st Century Learning is Flipped Learning. 

In a flipped learning setting, teachers make lessons available to students to be accessed whenever and wherever it is convenient for the student, at home, in class, on the bus, or even from a hospital bed. 

Teachers can deliver this instruction by recording and narrating screencasts of work they do on their computers, creating videos of themselves teaching, or curating video lessons from trusted Internet sites (TKI).  

BENEFITS: 

• Students can engage with direct instruction at their own pace 

• Class time can be used to engage in deeper learning opportunities, collaboratively or independently, and also with teacher guidance. 

• Classroom materials are accessible for students and parents anytime and anywhere. 

CONSIDERATIONS:

• What platform will be used to host resources? 

• What structures will be in place for students that do not complete work outside of class? 

• How will teachers find time to curate and create resources ahead of lessons? 

• How can teacher ensure that all students have access to resources (wifi, devices) outside of class

ASD/ Autism Part 2:

Like so many other student needs in the classroom, adaptations and considerations can really improve the learning, functioning and relationships for students with ASD.  Read the suggestions below from Sue Larkey’s work. There are some simple, practical suggestions which could potentially make the world of difference for students.  This can be part of UDL, where one adaptation for one student could benefit the wider class members.
