TRANSFORMING LEARNING
Why should teachers take the
trouble to incorporate ICT?
Research into pupil learning:-
- cognitive gain
- motivational gain
- interactional gain
Dreams pass into the reality of action; from the action stems the dream again;
thus interdependence
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it

Uninterrupted View
The Highwayman: modelling alternative
ending from viewpoint of the Landlord.
Last night was the worst of my
life.
After a pleasant evening with a
friend I returned home.
It was very strange……the door
into the Inn was wide open. I
had told my daughter, Bess not
to open up until I returned.
The Highwayman
The scene before me was one of
devastation.
Four of King George’s men lay
on the floor. Their blood was
pooling around them.
Tim, the ostler, was slumped
beside them. He stared, seeing
nothing, his eyes huge marbles.
The Highwayman
There was no
sign of Bess.
I never saw my black-haired
daughter again.
83 x 26
The GRID method is introduced first because
it demonstrates to children that 83 x 26 is
solved by partitioning the two 2-digit
numbers and answering four separate
multiplication questions:
83 is partitioned into 80 and 3
26 is partitioned into 20 and 6
