PERSONALISED
LEARING TPL MODEL
INTRODUCE A LEARNING
FOCUS/INQUIRY.
School: Choose a research question about water
quality (pick a parameter) ie. pH, nitrates, salinity,
temperature, phosphates, possibly others
BRAINSTORM TECHNOLOGIES
Look at all the probes (they connected to some sort of
brick tablet thing). Get a prac to test them and use
them. Learn how to create a graph on them
CATER TO DIVERISTY
Students had choice - some had a sheet with extra
information, some had more direction from teacher
Students could choose what to research
Some probes were easier to use
FOCUS GROUPS
Students (randomly grouped, can't remember) each
had a different probe, got back together after
testing them out on water samples. Get to choose as
a group a particular water sample. Teacher works
with them.
CELEBRATE THE LEARNING
Probes connected to a computer to take Excel data.
Could make a web page with it as a group report.
STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
No one wanted to get up and present (too scared) - I
remember everyone coming around to each group in a
circle and asking questions to each group instead.
IS IT SELF-DIRECTED?
Students choose what to research (ie nitrates, ph) and
also what type of water samples to explore (ie local
wetland, swimming pool, fish tank). Then they were all
sent to do their own research and come back together.
STUDENT STRENGTHS
Some students lead the groups, some liked to
research, some were better with technology to make
the webpage. It was one of those generated ones
with lots of ads.
