ONLINE

vScotEd's first island is ONLINE!

This evening saw the very FIRST student lesson: Standard Grade English. The rest of the week will see similar initiation-type lessons for Higher English.

A successful evening was achieved:

Observations:

- upload of materials BEFORE lesson (pre-empting any delays);

- BUG in powerpoint projector object? control of one seemed to

alter the other

- standard directory structure is cumbersome

Suggestions:

- preload projectors/widgets with content;

- smaller texture displays for A4-sourced text/docs

- organise resources

- perhaps design Higher- / Standard Grade-centric classes (as opposed to the standard)

- need text-loggers (feed directly to blog?), highlighters and rss feed widgets

Lesson overview:

- Show the student the difference in Close Reading question types - there are those that focus on the chosen text; those that focus on the general principles of language.
