Teach Talk: 21st century learning - harnessing the power of games
- 1. 21st century learning- harnessing the power of games Oasis Academy Mayfield Simon Poole-Anderson, VLE & Digital Media Greenwood Academy Laurence Cole, Greenwood Academy Archbishop Ilsley Catholic School & Sixth Form Glen Alexander, Head Teacher Teach Talk
- 3. 21st century learning - Harnessing the power of games Key Concepts ① Marc Prensky defines young people as ‘digital natives’ but it’s his ‘digital immigrants’ that make the decisions and shape the learning environment in schools today. ② Digital natives are massively engaged by and motivated to use interactive online games. This enduring and evidenced behavior can be harnessed by educators for 24/7 learning. ③ I Am Learning’s game based system incorporates wider social preferences for interactive engagement and instant gratification. These compelling factors are then focused on education to raise attainment and promote independent learning. Simon Poole-Anderson VLE & Digital Media Oasis Academy Mayfield Southampton
- 5. ‘…deep, radical and urgent (digital) transformation is required in higher education as much as it is in school systems. Our fear is that, perhaps as a result of complacency, caution or anxiety… the pace of change is too slow and the nature of change too incremental.’ An Avalanche is Coming, UKIPPR, March, 2013.
- 6. Learning Technologies (such as VLEs) have increasingly featured in Ofsted reports ‘in line with (our) increased emphasis on improvements’ and ‘references on the effective use of VLEs have been rising…up from about 20% pre 2009 to around 40% having comment in 2012’ Ofsted, January, 2013.

- 17. The issues
- 18. SLT “These teachers just do not assess regularly enough, or set nearly enough homework! What are we going to do when OFSTED arrive?!”
- 19. Teachers “There is already enough marking and paperwork without carrying out more assessment and setting more homework…but I do still want reasons to be able to praise the pupils”
- 20. Pupils “I don’t want to do my homework, it’s boring, what’s the point?”
- 21. What was needed?
- 22. 1. More useful, relevant homework
- 23. 2. Something which would not increase workload for teachers
- 24. 3. More regular formative assessment
- 25. 4. Pupils to enjoy learning
- 26. The solution

- 34. 4. Pupils to enjoy learning
- 38. The impact
- 39. Statistics • Students have done 3250:46:37 hours of revision • School is 10th highest using school in the UK • 709 students (99%) use I am learning outside of school hours
- 40. In conclusion…
- 44. • In terms of usage we are ranked 13th in the UK • 63% of our pupils use IAL outside of school • 65% have logged onto IAL

Notes de l'éditeur
- Day offWill be nice to speak for 10-15 minutes without 30 14-year-olds speaking over me
- Going to talk to you about a case study of a school which is using technology to nurture learning in the 21st century and how we are doing it
- Record pupil talking to attach to this slide
- 1. More useful, relevant homeworkStudents needed to improve independent learning skillsLots of students not progressing at required rateSLT and parents needed to see teachers were making every effort to push students
- 2. Something which would not increase workload for teachersTeachers were already being put on enough with paperworkTechnology needed to be used to the teachers’ advantage, rather than just to log everything
- 3. More regular formative assessmentEssential to know where your students are atDiagnostic assessment needed so that students know how to improveNeed to prove that progress is being made (SLT, OFSTED)
- 4. Pupils to enjoy learningPupils were not doing homework as they did not enjoy it and they did not see the benefit in itNo love of learning in the school
- Needed to find something which would satisfy all 4 needs and also keep all 3 groups happy
- We did a few things to address this in terms of our use of technology, but perhaps the most ground-breaking, interesting and effective measure was to introduce “I Am Learning”.What is I Am Learning? According to the company themselves, it is a “games-based revision and assessment system which engages learners, making them want to learn both in and outside of school”
- Setrelevant exercise to what you have been studying. You can also choose to use unofficial exercises which have been created by other schools using the “community” section of the site. This is great as there are loads of ready-made exercises which you can choose from, thereby minimising the teacher workload.
- What the student sees at the end – completely self marking as well as ready-made, thereby minimising teacher workload. Can revisit any questions they got wrong or skipped (they can also do this as they go through using the retry button if they get a question wrong) – can also view their progress in an easy red/amber/green chart on the left.. Makes progress clear. Formative assessment as it shows them the correct answers to the questions they got wrong.
- What the teacher can see – Assessment – can see an overview but can then also click on individual studentsNo need to collect homework in, easy to see who has not completed it, who has put in the most time, if they didn’t do very well, was it because they did not spend enough time on it? Easy RAG scheme. Easy to give praise to students who have put in a lot of effort or shown a good understanding of the topic.Good to see progress, evident that they have set homework, more data to back them up and to keep SLT happy for when OFSTED arrive
- Most commonly incorrectly answered questions – helps you see what parts of the topic have been taught better than others
- When you click on an individual student – proving progress, evidence of formative assessment
- When you click on an individual attempt – see which parts of the topic that student is struggling with, how much effort they have put into the assignment.
- All of the students have their own log in to I Am Learning. When they log in this is what they see. Pupil interface – one of the most important things about the product.
- Statistics are available on your home screen
- Technology needs to be used to our advantage in assessment and proving progress, but most of all we need to use technology to instil a love of learning within the pupils, and only then will we truly have “nurtured learning in the 21st century”.
