Presentation Tools

"This is boring. What's the point of this if no one will see it, except you?" remarked a disgruntled Year 6 student to his teacher as he began to write his story by hand in the exercise book provided.

This is a comment I received last year. It made me think about the purpose of most tasks I ask of my students and who my students were. They wanted their work to be seen. Don't we all?

As teachers we want to present learning opportunities that engage our students in their learning. We want to enable our students to show their learning, to show their true potential. We need to do this in many different ways, after all the evidence out there suggests that we all learn in different ways and therefore we should be showing what we know differently. As teachers we need to make the learning meaningful and engaging for all.

This section brings you ideas and ways to not only create and present classwork that will engage your students but help to upskill your students in ways to show what they really know.
