Well, I have been deeply distracted by the website I'm creating. I used Weebly while working on the Mindset Teach website and found it really user friendly and as result, chose it to use it again. To be honest, I wouldn't know how to work with anything else!
I've arranged the website according to my year plan and have collated relevant resources in each section. I've embedded the videos from Mindset Learn and linked the sections from Everything Maths textbook. I've also aligned all the exercises from the textbook we'll be using in class. At a later stage, I want to include online assessment activities. I might need some advice on how to do that. Any ideas?
Basically, I want this website to match and support my teaching. I will still do conventional teaching in class, but at least the learners have the ability to give themselves extra lessons in the afternoon.
I know that the teenagers will take a while to adjust to this. It takes a while to get used to being responsible for your own learning and I have a feeling they will be resentful about it. By going to extra lessons, you are making your problems someone else's to sort out. This approach forces them to figure out where they are going wrong and finding the right type of help for them. Maybe this is the sort of problem solving skills we should focus on?
Anyway... Once my website has been published, I will post the link on this blog. #suchfun
Until next time, much love.
