Recap in
class
The result….
Usually 3 – 4 out of 6 have to rewrite
This time 6/ 6 in my group did!
So, was this useless?….
Videos watchedwatched
watched more than once
not watched
It mixes it up a bit from the rigour/ boredom of books..
..and the content is ’bite-sized’
‘I found them beneficial as you can stop & start as you please….
…...it felt like a 1-2-1 lesson!
Watching the video really made the lesson easy to follow in class.
The videos prepare you for the lesson and get you
thinking…
WOW thank you! I'm just planning for Day 3 - This assisted so much as we have yet to cover this in training but have been asked to provide CCQ's in my lesson - I am forever in your debt, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! ^-^
Final thoughts….
