Transcript of Ict pd 2011.09
English Debateswith help from ICT tools…
Traditional Format
Proposition vs. Opposition
Speakers vs. Audience
Questions from “floor” at the end
Limitations
Easy for audience to “switch off” (lack of engagement).
Focus seems to be on speakers, not content/topic.
Points made earlier often forgotten by the time questions are open to the floor.
Teacher as moderator.
Changes:
Debates carried out as per normal.
Each student has access to computer.
Comments/questions to direct to specific teams/speaker.
Addressed during Q&A session

Allow students to focus on content/topic rather than just be influenced by presentation.
Questions can be immediately typed in, addressed later
Teacher as Facilitator, students self-moderate.
Sharing of learning points.
Learning outside curriculum/school.
Ownership of learning.
