[senit] ICT suite lessons

David
  45  mins is the shortest lesson I have and I just manage to split the group for independent work for that lesson with SLD students. With only 30 mins it will just have to be turn taking round the IWB. I would do something like this, starter with one of the Priory woods games eg shapes, buz or penalty, they are brilliant as the students have to work as a group because there is a reward if they get through the activity correctly eg bugz if the get the counting correct each time for 10 turns the reward is "karma Chameleon" also with penalty is to use the space bar at the correct time to score a goal, shapes they just love because of the rude noises.
  The core of the lesson I would do "who wants to be a millionaire" you can download a skeleton  template from the net , look for the matt Damon one. This is a powerpoint template in which he has put in music and animations from the TV game show into which you can put your own topics in, older students adore it, I have done things about my school, and also photos I had used in an OCR topic about technology, you can put in lots of silly answers and have a real laugh.
  To finish I always use 4 music choices from the Priory woods site (I change them 1/2 termly so no one gets bored. This will more than fill a 30  min lesson. Hope this helps.

  hi , anyone teach ICT to large classes (SLD) in ICT
suite?
in one lesson I have 45 mins and this is just enough
for a short session round the IWB first , but in
another lesson with another class I have 30 mins and
there doesn't seem enough time for the IWB intro let
alone a plenary. 10 students in class. Anyone got any
solutions/ideas?
thanks
