Readings: Insights into learning.

I appreciated this link from a reading Ann gave us recently which connected perfectly with the idea of 'Split Screening', which we heard at a recent Kath Murdoch Inquiry course I attended.

"Split Screening' is a concept created by Guy Claxton. The idea of split screening is to not ignore the 'what are we doing' of the task, but to use it along side the 'what are we learning to do' in the task.

I think a key for me in my inquiry is the last question. I am reasonably confident that my students could answer the first three questions, the fourth I am not so confident about.

What will I do about this? Through making the learning clear (split screening), and by adding accountability to the kids to put learning in workshops into practice in their independent writing. If the students can show where they have used a skill they have learned, then they and I will know the have been successful.
