Digital

For digital 1 assessment we decided to assess the students on their level of engagement and their ability to solve problems by working together and thinking them through.

I would really like to try co-operative teaching, Lea and I have talked about the idea of offering a level 1 social science course with a mix of Geography, Media Studies, and either History or Social Studies.  We would take turns at teaching this class.

With my Year 10 Social Studies classes, I placed videos with quizzes on edpuzzle which I then set for Homework. The next day in class we did activities around the video and the information that they received from it.  I really enjoy this concept, however, I found that many would 'forget' to watch the video and that became problematic. I think I have found a way around this, I will start them off at the start of the unit with videos that are designed to increase their knowledge and understanding but are not imperative to the classes and deal with the ones who don't complete it, then when they are all in the habit of doing their homework I will begin to use it for flipped learning.

For the assessment 1 Digital, we found many academic journals, however, we only used 2 in our actual assessment.
