[senit] ICT suite lessons

I don't teach in school so may be way off track here (my classes are 16-19's
mostly and the most I have in one room at a time is 8 but there is no whole
group work it is all done 1:1 either with me (tutor) or a support worker. I
use the IWB for 1:1 work only as I have found that my learners (LDD inc
Autism) don't 'do' group work well. Plus they are usually all doing
different tasks anyway so there is no group as such, rather 8 individuals
working in the same room.

My idea is that you ditch the IWB whole group intro for the 30 min class and
have whatever the activity you are doing already loaded on the desktops for
each learner or brief them in the classroom prior to the ICT session if poss
- that would mean they have more time on the task and maybe you would have
time for the plenary on the IWB.

Hope you don't mind me chipping in on this, I am conscious that have no
experience with ICT in school or younger learners.
