Lesson planning on the web

Description

Expert Alan Howe gives two newly qualified primary teachers the task of planning a Year 3 lesson on rocks and soils. The programme follows the teachers as they take very different routes and structure quite different lesson objectives supported by remarkably different websites. Their planning is put to the test in the classroom, but what will the expert make of it? Lesson Planning on the Web explores how web material can enrich a lesson. One lesson is enhanced by the use of photographic evidence from the internet, while the other uses an ICT-based website game.The importance of beginning the planning with clear objectives is also addressed. The teachers also appreciate the need to critically review what comes up in a search, in light of the needs of a specific class. As the NQTs create bespoke lessons for their classes, they begin to realise they can take ownership of the curriculum by using this kind of online planning support.
