WHAT IS THE CPD PROGRAMME ABOUT?BACKGROUND

• A resource for school-based CPD (5 co-authors)
  has been published by Open University Press
• The aims of this resource are
• to guide us in building on what we do now by
  trying out some new ideas for using the IWB in
  our classroom
• to offer a tool for analysing classroom
  interaction how could using the IWB help to
  improve the quality?
• It links to freely available online resources

ACTIVITY 1 - DISCUSSIONCLASSROOM DIALOGUE SO FAR

• Have you used classroom dialogue supported by the
  IWB in lessons? If yes, how? Concrete examples.
• Were there any benefits in using dialogue
  supported by the IWB as a tool for learning?
• Were there any challenges in using dialogue
  supported by the IWB as a tool for learning?

6
ACTIVITY 2 - SHARING and REFLECTINGCLASSROOM
DIALOGUE SO FAR

• Share your concrete examples
• Questions, comments, reflections

7
VIDEO EXAMPLE 1

• Group interaction at the interactive whiteboard
• A clip illustrating a group interaction at the
  interactive whiteboard. Students modelled some of
  the features of classroom dialogue demonstrated
  by their teachers e.g. changing their mind and
  checking for agreement/disagreement.

8
VIDEO EXAMPLE 2

• Brainstorming ideas as a class using the
  interactive whiteboard
• A clip from a history lesson on causes of wars
  illustrating co-construction of knowledge through
  acceptance of students ideas and building on
  each others ideas.

9
VIDEO EXAMPLE 3

• Drawing objects on the interactive whiteboard
  together collectively constructing knowledge
• This clip illustrates how students are building
  on each others ideas as they create a joint
  picture of a trench this is a nonverbal kind of
  'dialogue.

10
VIDEO EXAMPLE 4

• Dialogue after interactive whiteboard use in a
  secondary history class
• This clip illustrates the rich dialogue that
  ensued when the teacher posed the question Is it
  possible for us to imagine the experience of
  trench warfare? after using a variety of
  multimedia resources on the interactive
  whiteboard in the previous two lessons.

11
ACTIVITY 3 - DISCUSSION

• - How did the clips illustrate the use of the IWB
  for supporting dialogic teaching?
• -
• - Discuss how useful/feasible these activities
  and strategies are in your own setting.

12
THINK ABOUT AN UP AND COMING LESSON OF YOUR OWN

• Explore the Resource Bank and collection of
  video clips
• Are any of these ideas useful to you?
• What other applications of them can you think of?
• What might be effective with your particular
  students?

13
IDEAS FOR FOLLOW UP

• For my lessons
• For my year group/subject
• For our school

14
Derived from Diane Rawlins' table, here are some
concrete, specific elements that can foster
dialogic teaching and learning.
Activity Can we 1) mind-map detail about our own
school and practice for the future from
September 2014?
Subject knowledge
School policy
Student responsibility
Support staff (TAs etc.)
Plan for discussion
Teacher ready to learn, to change
