Obviously I don't own the music, but it's a free resource!
A simple PowerPoint which gives your learners one minute to complete a task/discussion/thinking time.
Enjoy, for free!
I've been doing some work on planning for questioning and come up with this presentation as a tool to improve my questioning technique.
I plan the questions I am going to ask and use Pose, Pause, Pounce, Bounce (NOT MY IDEA!) - I think this is a concept from Teacher Toolkit, though I could be wrong. My idea is the planning tool and the wait time.
Teachers should write their planned questions on separate slides using the template, perhaps moving the circle in the top right hand corner to identify whether the question is open or closed (this helps me to ensure the majority of the questions I ask are open questions).
Use the tool for a starter or plenary by showing the question (by clicking the yellow POSE button). Allow 15 seconds thinking time (by clicking the PAUSE button), the soothing Jeopardy music will play. Click POUNCE to ask for an answer from the student and then BOUNCE to ask the student to select someone who will answer the next question (or the teacher could do this).
I hope this helps!
Enjoy.
An editable template for a great starter activity (or plenary/review!).
Simply change the questions on the wooden panels. Delete and resize if you need less panels.
The 2nd slide is differentiated, so the more challenging questions are at the end.
I don't own the format, obviously, so this resource is shared for free. I add the theme tune too, but for copyright reasons I can't share on TES!
Enjoy!
Students need to sort the hardware into input, output or storage device. There's a handout which could be printed, cut and glued into a table or printed and laminated to enable a paired or group sort activity.
A nice main activity for any Computer Science lesson.
Enjoy!
