Facebook Status
Give your Learning Objective in the form
of a Facebook status update.
E.g. 'Mr Sadgrove: wants year
10 to be able to analyse Orwell's characterisation in Ch 5'.
Students respond with their own status detailing their thoughts on the objective or showing what they know about the topic already.
Revisit as a plenary.
@badgerove
Слайд 3
Using a Dictation
Dictate 5 sentences that hint
at the Learning Objective without revealing it. For example,
if your lesson is about a chemical reaction, you should read out some facts about that reaction, maybe some industry uses for that reaction. Start with the harder clues and gradually work towards easier ones. Check the dictation by having students write the sentences up on the board. Point out any errors. Now ask students to define the Lesson Objective.
Слайд 4
Anagrams
Rearrange the Learning Objective as an anagram -
students try to puzzle it out.
@LearningSpy
Why not try that
with Triptico - Magnets
@kristianstill
Слайд 5
3-2-1
Post a Learning Objective. Ask students to write:
3
- things I know about the topic
2 - questions
I have
1 - analogy 'x is like...'
Revisit as a plenary
@badgerove
Слайд 6
Write the Learning Objective on the Whiteboard
Introduce the
Learning Objective verbally, using directed questions to check understanding.
Слайд 7
Go Hollywood
Choose a movie where the Learning Objective
was relevant (eg. Ice Age for adapting to change,
Nemo 4 biodiversity) and connect learners to themes and discuss. Then introduce the Learning Objective.
@brittgow
Слайд 8
Code Learning Objective
Apply a code to the Learning
Objective. Get the students de-coding sequence or Cipher. Share
student examples, selecting the correct Learning Objective.
Try very simple cypher on puzzlepixies to transform the objective.
Use http://www.myrebus.com/ to code
Слайд 9
Using Images
Show a few photos that have some connection with your Learning Objective. Ask students to write some vocabulary related to what they see in the pictures. Using the vocabulary, as closely as possible, write the Learning Objective.
Or
get http://www.pimpampum.net/en/content/memry
Слайд 10
KWL
Post an over simple Learning Objective and apply
KWL.
K = What do I know about subject x?
W
= What do I want to know about subject x?
L = What did I learn about subject x?
Слайд 11
Obviously a hoop jumper*
stand at the front and
look stern
put the objectives on a slide

Learning Objectives with Phrasr
Convert your Learning Objective to
a Phrasr
http://www.pimpampum.net/phrasr
Phrasr is an interactive web-based application that uses
Flickr images to illustrate the phrases that users submit. You can choose every image and then publish the entire phrase, which is shown as a personal slide show.
Learning Objectives by Kristianstill
Слайд 13
Expand a Sentence
Write the topic in big letters
on the board. Read out a short sentence related
on the topic. This can be part of a text they will read later, or a text book paragraph. in small groups ask the students to expand the sentence by adding 4 words (you can define the 4 words or not). After a few minutes, invite each group to read out their Learning Objectives.
Слайд 14
Not the First Time?
Ask pupils if they’ve ever
seen the exact same or similar
Learning Objective before. What
do they know about it?
Слайд 15
Connected Words
Give students a keyword from the Learning
Objective and then give them x seconds think up
as many linked words as they can.
Go on to define the Learning Objective, with student gaining points for each keywords that then appears in the Learning Objective
Слайд 16
Missing Keyword
Leave a keyword out of the Learning
Objective and give 60
seconds to guess it.
Слайд 17
Order the Learning
Ask students to order the words
of the Learning Objective in terms of importance and
be able to explain why.
Слайд 18
Music to my Learning Objective
Play appropriate music as
students enter the lesson to set
the mood, linking to
the Learning Objective.
Eddie Veder - Hard Sun
Holes - Stanley is digging at Camp Green Lake in the blazing Texan sun.
This week I used Dowie Bowie - CHanges.
Cha cha cha changes.... to get the students to think about Stanley is changing.
Слайд 19
Learning Continuums @LearningSpy
Write the objective in side an arrow
and ask student to say how far along the
arrow they think they will get:
Слайд 20
Linking Words
Can you link these three words
Suspense -
blisters - holes
Use the words to help students start
to think about relationships, then introduce the Learning Objective.
Слайд 21
Odd One Out
Write 4 statements or Learning Objectives?
Which
is the odd one out. That is what we
are learning about today.
Слайд 22
Meta Menus: starters @LearningSpy
Show the L/O and then
get student to pick one of the following questions
to discuss:
•What do you want to learn today?
•What skills do you have that could be useful this lesson?
•What might hinder your thinking?
•When have you had to think like this before?
•What have you learnt that is similar?
•What do you already know that might be useful?
•What must you do in this lesson? What should you do? What could you do?
Слайд 23
Learning Intentions
Explain the intention of the lesson to
the students and ask them to work out their
own Learning Objective
Allows for lessons to wander off piste in interesting ways.
@LearningSpy
Слайд 24
The Hidden Objective
Tell students that you will only
reveal the Learning Objective at the end of the
lesson - their job is to guess what it might be a various points in the lesson.
Слайд 25
Jigsaw Planet
Upload an image of your objectives to http://www.jigsawplanet.com/
It
will create a jigsaw puzzle of the objectives for
students to solve on the whiteboard
Can students guess the objectives before the jigsaw is completed.
Слайд 26
Wordle
Use Wordle to collapse the Learning Objective or
key text into a word cloud style graphic.
Pupils to
reassemble after reflecting on the jumbled words.
http://www.wordle.net/
Слайд 27
Stand By Your Objective
Have the learning objectives on
pieces of paper around the room
Have the students get
up and read them and then stand by the one they want to achieve in that lesson / session.
If they are levelled they could be encourages to aim for their predicted grade or higher.
Слайд 28
Translate the Objective
Display the Learning Objective in another
language with the instruction that the students should attempt
to work out what it says.
Slowly reveal a few words at a time back into English, or place clues around the room to give them some hints.
Immediate engagement and challenge.
@geographycarrie
Слайд 29
Learning Journeys
Display a 'map' of the lesson using
words and images
Ask students to work out what they
think the objective might be.
Examples here: http://learningspy.edublogs.org/2011/09/21/learning-journeys/
Слайд 30
Problem Solving
Set a problem that needs to be
solved during the lesson/activity. If the problem is challenging
enough then pupils should be able to plan a rough solution but will find gaps in their knowledge/skills - these form the lesson objectives.
eg in a lesson about programming in ICT you could set the problem of making a maze game. Pupils then plan the steps (eg draw the maze, import a character, add controls to the character and then make it start again to touch the wall). Any of these the pupils can't do will be the learning objectives
Слайд 31
Use Success Criteria
Put up the success criteria and
ask students to work out a suitable Learning Objective.
Or...
put up a learning objective and discuss what success criteria would be.
@sophisimus
Слайд 32
Don't always introduce learning objectives
Sometimes by setting objectives
you impose unnecessary limits on the learning.
@dughall
(on occasions,
all students to direct their own learning)
Слайд 33
Use VozMe
Type your learning objectives in VozMe http://vozme.com/index.php?lang=en and play
the MP3 file generated. The robotic voice will get your
learners really interested! Doing it every lesson will over kill it though ;-)
@asober
http://alessiobernardelli.wordpress.com/2010/08/25/bono-voz-u2-can-try-it/
Слайд 34
Xtranormal your Lesson Objectives
Create a short film with
Xtranormal.com which allows you to create text to movie
animated clips! It is great and you could also get a couple of learners (or indeed all of them if you have the resources) to create a short film at the end of the lesson to explain their learning outcomes :-)
@asober
http://alessiobernardelli.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/abnormal-not-normal-or-xtranormal/
Слайд 35
GoAnimate your Lesson Objectives
As an alternative to Xtranormal
- try GoAnimate
http://goanimate.com/
Can be slightly simpler to use.
Have the
cartoon characters read out the LO's
@dannynic
Слайд 36
Leave it until the end...
Teach the entire lesson
and then have the students decide/debate what the learning
objective(s) was as the plenary.
As @dughall mentioned, sometimes the objective imposes limitations. By allowing the students to figure it out at the end, the objective may have evolved during the lesson.
@jamesmichie
Слайд 37
Multiple Learning Objectives...
Split the class into groups. On
separate tables place different learning objectives.
Provide a list of
available resources and then allow each group to plan how they will achieve the learning objective. They then set about working towards the objective.
You can review by having each group share what they have done, with the other group guessing what the learning objective was.
This is not an easy approach but is rewarding for the students as they take ownership and is a great way to develop their codependence and independence.
@jamesmichie
Слайд 38
Answer to the Question
Learning Objectives are often answers.
Give the students the answer and ask them to
write the Learning Objective.
Слайд 39
Create fun signs
Use some of the sign generators
listed at
http://www.redkid.net/generator/sign.php
to create fun signs that display the learning
objectives in a different way to the usual.
@dannynic
Слайд 40
Going SOLO
Use the SOLO taxonomy to create a
route though the learning which challenges all students regardless
of their starting point:
No understanding (pre structural) this might be the starting point for some students
understand one aspect of the learning (unistructural)
then several aspects but they are unrelated (multistructural),
then we learn how to integrate them into a whole (relational)
finally, we are able to generalised that whole to as yet untaught applications (extended abstract).
@LearningSpy
Слайд 41
Use Twitter or a Blog
Use Twitter or a
blog to introduce the Learning Objectives
Students comment on how
they are going to achieve the learning objectives
The learning objectives should have a purpose and set the seen for learning .
Make the learning objectives specific and student friendly so they know exactly where the lesson is going. rather than explaining them just because you have to.
@stephen_logan
Слайд 42
Produce your Learning Objective with Voki
Why not produce
your Learning Object with webware tool Voki? Use the
randomiser tool, record your voice, add the link. It is probably quicker than writing it!
Also available as an embed for your VLE or blog and more.
Слайд 43
Flipped Objectives
Introduce learning objectives prior to the lesson
- students arrive knowing what the learning objective is.
This could happen via a class blog or perhaps the learning objective could be shared at the end of the previous lesson. This could allow student to prepare for the learning they will embark on.
@LearningSpy
Слайд 44
Get Einstein to Introduce the Learning Objective
http://www.hetemeel.com/einsteinform.php
@katebook
Слайд 45
QR Codes
Present the learning objective as a QR
Code so that students have to work to find
out what it is. Possibly you could use a series of codes as a treasure hunt.
@LearningSpy
Слайд 46
Agree / Disagree
Write a statement about a controversial
issue on the board. The students then line up
to indicated their agreement or disagreement with the issue.
Can use 5 for strongly agree, 4 for agree, 3 for not sure, 2 for disagree, 1 for strongly disagree.
Tell students to be prepared to defend their choice.
Then: introduce learning objective
@LearningSpy
Слайд 47
Search for the Learning Objective
Start your lesson with
a wordsearch (without a word list) that included important
words / characters / themes of the lesson.
Once the words have been revealed, create the lesson objective as with the anagram.
Слайд 48
Use an Object
Ask students to write down the
vocabulary that springs to mind when they see, touch,
hold the object.
Ask students to write down what they know about the object.
Ask the students to think what the object might have to say or do with the Learning Objective.
Слайд 49
The Finished Article
The approach is borrowed from a
conversation I had this afternoon with a colleague, Arts
teachers and Director of Learning for Expressive and Performing Arts.
Give students a completed exemplar piece of work, 'the finished article' and ask students what makes it an exemplar piece of work. What learning objectives has this students fulfilled in creating this exemplar.
Prioritise the learning, listing these learning objectives.
Слайд 50
QFT
Question Formulation Technique
1. Get students to write
as many questions as they can on the topic
you will be covering - no quality control
2. Categorise the questions (open/closed, silly/useful, factual/conceptual)
3. Select the best three questions
4. Use the questions to write a learning objective(s) about what students want to achieve
5. Reflect on the process (probably at the end of the lesson)
@LearningSpy
Слайд 51
Use Thinking Dice / Hats to Differentiate an
Objective
Pass around thinking dice or give students access to
hats etc and put the central theme/issue/question on the board or by other means so all have access to it.
Students then to swap dice between each other or use different coloured hats to see what level they can get to on Blooms re this them.
Hence lesson objective will be differentiated for various groups in the lesson
