Webinar 9 April 2020

  Remote lesson planning: not as impossible as you think
  The rapid shift to remote teaching and learning doesn’t mean the fundamentals of teaching
  have to change. There are many ways to do it and ClickView has a range of methods to
  support you along the way.

  Consider your tools
  Schools, faculties and individual teachers need to think about what they have available to
  them in terms of technology resources and skills, and how they can be leveraged to bring
  teaching and learning into the online space.
   Synchronous
  Will you teach live according to an incremental daily timetable? This means communication
  happens in real time, allowing for instant feedback and clarification meaning it could be more
  engaging and effective. On the other hand, it requires much of technology in terms of video
  conferencing, live chat platforms and the bandwidth for live-streamed video.
   Asynchronous
  Will you set projects for students to work on independently while scheduling regular check-
  ins? Communication does not happen live so will rely on students motivating themselves to
  work independently at their own pace. However, it might be more convenient and flexible, as
  you already have access to email and recorded video content on ClickView.

  Some things to expect
  Be prepared to only be able to deliver between a third and half of the content you’d regularly
  be able to deliver. This is due to:

     •   Technology issues
     •   Students’ diverse learning environments
     •   Development of new study-and-work-from-home routines
     •   Varying levels of parent/guardian involvement
     •   Health and wellbeing priorities
  The standard of work from students may look and sound different too. Some students may
  struggle, but some may really thrive. This is an exciting opportunity to see students respond
  to your teaching in a way you’ve never seen before!

How can video support what you already have prepared?
Don’t throw it all out the window! ClickView has a range of methods you can use to make
sure you don’t reinvent everything you already have prepared. Lesson planning is still
possible, even when teaching and learning happens remotely.

 Welcome and introduce the lesson
Personal touches are important in what can feel like a very disconnected and impersonal
context. Record yourself introducing each lesson, setting the learning intention and asking
some key questions that will help you gauge students’ prior learning.

   •   Record and upload directly from your smartphone to your Workspace with the
       ClickView apps
   •   Upload any pre-recorded video of yourself to your Workspace from your computer or
       laptop
   •   Insert interactive questions to ascertain what students already know
   •   Share with your students to receive their responses in your Workspace, ready to
       analyse them to inform your next lessons
   •   Click below for very simple example. Remember: now is the time to shake off any
       camera shyness and that hatred we all have for the sound of our own voice!

 Give instruction or explain concept
You can do this yourself of course, by recording and uploading your own teaching! Keep
your videos short and concise (anywhere from 3-7 minutes, depending on the age and level
of the students’ understanding), with one or two learning ‘chunks’ per video to minimise
cognitive loading. This will also allow for students to stop, rewind and review the video
enough times for them to understand the concept before moving on.
If you’re still not keen on getting in front of the camera, perhaps try recording your
PowerPoint presentations instead.
Your ClickView administrator can increase the Workspace storage size for you by following
this simple tutorial.
The videos contained in the ClickView libraries are designed specifically for curriculum
outcomes. You’ll find short, sharp explanations, alongside longer-form documentary-style
videos.

You can search for ClickView video content in a number of ways:
   1. Using the curriculum search tool (also known as ‘Albert’) to filter down results by
      subject, year level, curriculum strand and sub-strand, and finally curriculum code.
   2. Using the search box in the top right-hand corner of the browser window, then using
      the filters on the left-hand side of your search results.
   3. Browsing through the Libraries and Exchange tabs and folders, categorised by
      subject areas.

       Above: The curriculum search tool and search box on the ClickView Dashboard.

          Top tip
              •   When using the search box, use Boolean operators like quotation
                  marks to sharpen your search. E.g. “Anzac Day” will bring up more
                  relevant results than typing in Anzac Day without the quotation marks.
              •   Click on ‘Show more filters’ on the left-hand side of your search results
                  to filter your results down by whether or not it has ready-made
                  resources and Interactives.

                                                        ways in which the ANZACs are commemorated, and hear a

  A note on differentiation
Differentiation is made easy with ClickView. The mere act of putting video in students’ hands
means they can watch, rewind, and review as many times as they need to, on demand.
Students also have access to the whole ClickView library (up to their year level’s rating
restriction), so they can undertake further research of their own.
You can take it up a notch by:

   •   Creating different versions of Interactive videos for different groups of students
       depending on ability or learning goals
   •   Record yourself with a smartphone modelling a skill with different levels of scaffolding
       and at different achievement standards, and upload and share this with different
       students as required.
   •   Creating playlists of various content at different levels in order to differentiate the
       instruction your students are receiving
   •   Uploading your own additional resources to videos in your school library (ask your
       school’s ClickView administrator to help)
Did you know we have a range of flipped educators – yes, teachers like you! – who have
recorded their lessons and uploaded them to ClickView for the benefit of you and your
students? Check them out at our Featured Channels page – you might have some students
who just need to hear it explained by someone else. Watch our webinar on various
differentiation strategies.

 Assess learning
Teacher-led
To maintain regular check ins and monitor your learners’ progression, share an Interactive
video as an ‘exit pass’ for the day’s lesson.

   •   Use one that’s already been made
   •   Edit an existing Interactive
   •   Create your own from scratch on any ClickView video (ClickView-owned or your own
       content)
   •   Analyse the results by clicking on the ‘View results’ button next to the video in your
       ‘Interactive videos’ folder in your Workspace. Interactives do not take up any
       Workspace storage space. Yay!
Student-created videos
Students can record and upload their own video content to present their learning for
assessment, using the app or other video-recording device, and uploading it straight to their
Workspace. They can even make their own Interactive videos, using Annotations to compile
a glossary or summary of their learning.
Here are just some ideas for video projects, but there are an infinite number more. Please
share them with us!

   •   Record a video ad that represents your ideal ANZAC commemoration
   •   Present a video advertisement for Anzac Day Commemorations as though the Allies’
       campaign at Gallipoli was successful
   •   Make a compelling case for a viewpoint other than your own
   •   Record a modern-day interpretation for
   •   Create a 2-minute feature about something for which you are grateful
   •   Record an interview with someone wise
   •   Record your explanation of the Anzac Legend to a Year 1 student
   •   Visualise the concept of the Anzac Spirit
   •   Choreograph and record a movement piece that represents the Anzac Spirit
   •   Survey your friends and family on their attitudes towards Anzac Day
       commemorations and offer your findings in a video presentation
   •   Create a video using canned foods, toy blocks or rocks to demonstrate the landing of
       ANZAC troops at Gallipoli
