Text to: start: B6RN

11. Good resources are… What does the term ‘resources’ include?
What makes a ‘good’ resource?

12. Hand-outs

13. Sticking with the change theme…
“The Internet and Virtual Learning Environment may or may not radically change teaching, but the technology which has probably made most difference in the past fifty years has been cheap, on-site, duplicating copying and printing.”
ATHERTON, J. (2005) Teaching and Learning:  Hand-outs   [On-line] UK: Available:  [18 March 2008 ]

14. Why use them? Question: What use is a hand-out?
Define jargon
Permanent record of essentials
provide background or detailed information e.g. statistics, which are not readily available elsewhere
put forward a point of view or strategy as model
Set or clarify tasks
provide a case study for problem solving or discussion

15. More why…
provide a complex diagram rather than students copying from projection;
give step by step guide to a task- e.g. lab work
outline the session with
a series of bullet points
per topic area
summarise key points
of a session or theme

16. What does it include? Info- e.g. reading lists
Tasks- worksheet or quiz
Summary of session or central theme
Resources needed for specific task- e.g. photos/ quotations
Gapped- i.e. part task/ part focus tool

17. Problems and issues- Quality – Accessibility Note taking - inhibitor?
Concentration - reading ahead
Attendance - ‘it’ll be in the hand-outs'
Others?

18. Evaluate this! Looking at the hand-out critique good and bad points
Be prepared to justify reasons

19. One type Gapped or skeletal hand-out Unlabelled diagram Headings only
Actual gaps in sentences
Easily differentiated
Focuses concentration

20. PowerPoint Hand-outs
Why haven’t we given you a copy of this presentation?
Will we give you a copy?
How do we give you a copy that’s convenient?

23. Resource Carousel
In pairs use evaluation sheet to assess the resources on the tables
30 mins

24. It’s in the bag! What can you use this for Imagination!
Link to your specialism

25. Reflection time Jot notes if you wish On the hand-out grade yourself!
2 mins: Think about hand-outs and all the other resources you have looked at. What are your strengths and weakness in terms of your resource use?
5 mins: Discuss the above at your table

26. Preparation for next class
27th November - IT3 and IT4
Evaluate one resource of you have created (thinking about Disabilty Act 2010 and Equality issues)
Bring with you one resource to share with the group – hard copy NOT electronic
