Prepare, Sprint and Review - The Learning Sprints Process

Learning Sprints - https://learningsprints.com/ - supports the adoption of evidence-informed practices and enables educators to collectively plan, act and evaluate their impact. 

The approach is aligned with the existing research evidence into the features of effective teacher professional learning and the science of behaviour change.

The Learning Sprints Process

There are three Key Phases

1. Prepare:
a. Define: What student learning outcome do we want to focus our practice improvement on? For which students? What evidence justifies this decision? 
b. Design: What small, specific actions can we take in our classrooms to improve student learning? 
c. Assess: What evidence of student learning will we collect? 

2. Sprint: 
a. Teach: In what ways are we deliberately improving our teaching practices? 
b. Monitor: How are we collecting evidence of student learning? What is it telling us? 
c. Support: How are we harnessing peer and expert feedback?

3. Review. 
a. Analyse: What progress did students make and how did our actions contribute to this? 
b. Transfer: How can we transfer what we’ve learned into future practice and ways of working together? 
c. Reset: What professional learning could we engage in next, in order to help us maximise our impact on student learning? 

Most of all, it is designed to be adaptable to a learning providers context and focused on the challenges specific to their learning environments and their learners.

It’s also well worth checking out the “Learning Sprints” site for free resources, videos, tools, stories and support.

A Tool Educators & Presenters Will LOVE

“Wheel of Names” - https://wheelofnames.com/ - is a random selector tool that was designed for choosing winners/names. 

However, educators can use “Wheel of Names” for so much more! E.g. “Different Writing prompts / Projects /Presentations / Podcasts #Vidcasts etc.”

Users of “Wheel of Names” are able to type text but the entire text won’t show up on the wheel piece. However, when users spin the wheel the entire text pops up once a piece has been selected.

"One of the nice things about this tool is that users can click Remove to eliminate that selected piece from the spinner if they want to spin again."

NOTE: This tool can be used without signing into an account. However, if educators wish to use their spinners over and over again or want to create one ahead of time, they can login with their Google account and their lists can be accessed and edited any time under the Open List Tab.

There are several different ways users can share their spinners with others to use. 
1. Share>Get Shareable Link. 
2. Enter someone's email address by clicking Share>Email List. 
3. They can also be embedded into blogs/websites.

Enhancing the wheel…
Under the Customise tab users can choose to add an image in the centre of the wheel 

Other customisations include Changing…
• the section colours, 
• spin time, 
• sound and 
• the message that pops up once a name/category has been selected.

This “Wheel of Names” web-tool works beautifully on Chromebooks, laptops/computers and has been optimised to run well on most mobile phones and tablets.

Other Features…

Importing from Google Forms:

If users are delivering a presentation and want to choose a winner for completing a survey, create the survey in Google Forms. 

It’s essential to include a question that asks for the attendee's name or email address. 

• Once information has been collected, 
• click on Summary to create the spreadsheet of responses. 
• Then on your “Wheel of Names” spinner (make sure you are signed in), select Import>Link Google Spreadsheet. 
• Choose your spreadsheet, select which tab and column you would like to pull from and then all of the information you need will be sent to your digital spinner!

There are many more really cool features that you can read about in the FAQ section of the website at https://wheelofnames.com/faq.html 
Update!

I’ve just discovered that users now have the ability to add images to the different spokes of the wheel!

Tool to Provide Learners with Different Types of Feedback

Qwiqr - https://qwiqr.co.uk/ - a  web tool educators can use to provide individual learner feedback using QR technology. 

"Ideal for formative assessment allowing users to attend to learners individualised needs and maximise their learning"

Qwiqr supports multiple forms of feedback including: audio, text, video, web links, and photo feedback. 

The way Qwiqr works is simple:

• Print a sheet of stickers.
• Attach a sticker to any assessment, test paper or other document.
• Scan the sticker with a qrcode reader and follow the link.
• Record the audio feedback, text message or web link and it will be permanently associated with that sticker.
• When learners scan the sticker it will take them to the feedback 

NOTE: - Depending on which version of iPhone, iPad or Android you use, you might need to download and install a QR code reader app. 

Regarding the security of learners’ feedback, Qwiqr states that…

"There is no password required to access a published piece of Qwiqr feedback but it is necessary to have the correct code to access feedback...The codes are randomly assigned when stickers are printed, and the only way to find out which codes are valid is to try them. Testing 100 codes each second it would take approximately 300 million years. Anyone with access to the printed sticker can access the feedback, but this is also true with written feedback on learner's work."

Qwiqr offers a free trial period of 30 days after which you need a premium account to continue using it. 

Other features provided by Qwiqr include:

• Edit feedback after publishing
• Tag your feedback and track when it is scanned
• Reprint published feedback
• Reuse feedback with other learners
• Learners can record their own response with conversations."

Increase student engagement and retention

Educators often source their videos from a variety of websites and services, and it can be challenging to keep track of the videos they’ve found. 

ClassHook - https://www.classhook.com/ - wants to streamline the process of organising videos so that educators can focus on helping their learners extract the most learning from them.

ClassHook  have announced their “Personal Clips feature” - http://www.blog.classhook.com/2019/04/21/manage-all-of-your-favorite-videos-on-classhook/ - which could be a good way to have a set of videos cued-up and ready to display in the educator’s learning environment(s) without jumping from tab to tab or site to site.

Educators will soon be able to use the Pause Prompts feature with all Personal Clips regardless of the source of the video. 

However, in the meantime they can use Pause Prompts with videos that they find through the ClassHook platform. 

Pause Prompts are discussion prompts that appear while any chosen video is playing. 

The Pause Prompts automatically pause the video until users are ready to advance it. 

You can Learn more about ClassHook's Pause Prompts by watching Richard Byrne’s video clip at https://www.youtube.com/embed/NUPqgbdWMT0

Using Glide to Create Useful Learning Provider Mobile Apps

Glide - https://www.glideapps.com/ - is a free tool that educators can use to create a mobile app by simply creating a spreadsheet in Google Sheets. 

There are many different ways that educators, learners & administrators might use Glide in their organisation. 

Here are some ideas from Richard Byrne (adapted for post 16+ learning providers) to consider...

1. A mobile study guide: Educators and/or Learners can create an app that lists each section or unit of their curriculum. In each section they can provide videos, podcasts, or simply link to additional documents for review. 
2. A mobile version of school handbooks: When various stakeholders have a question about your organisation, their first instinct is probably to pick up their phones to search your learning provider's website or to call the office. A mobile version of learning provider's handbook could make it easy for stakeholders to quickly find the answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs). 
3. A mobile reporting system: If Educators have learners and/or stakeholders using Google Forms for logging information about multiple goals like independent reading, outdoor play, or behaviour goals, they should consider placing links to all of those forms in one convenient app. 
4. Room Use Schedule: Many Educators work in Organisations that have more educators than learning environments so it can be always kind of a guessing game as to who was using which room and when. An app that makes it easy to find out who is using which rooms at which times would help considerably! With Glide you could create that kind of app.

Create Spelling Games Via Flippity

Flippity's Spelling Words - http://flippity.net/ - is a free Google Sheets template that you can use to create individualised spelling games for learners. 

To do this you simply have to…
• make a list of words that you want each of your learners to practice. 
• put those lists under your learners' names in a Google Sheets template that is provided by Flippity.

To get started users can…

• either go to Flippity.net and select the Spelling Words template or use Flippity's Google Sheets add-on and select Spelling Words. 
• Once users have made a copy of the template they then have to write their learners' names across the second row of the spreadsheet. 
• Below each learner's name users will enter the list of words that they want them to practice spelling. 
• If users would like to, they can enter a sentence along with each spelling word in order to provide learners with some content for its use. 
• There is an option to have learners' results emailed to you. To do that users enter their email address below each learner's name in their spreadsheet.
• Once users/Educators have completed the steps listed above, they select "publish to the web" from the "File" drop-down menu in Google Sheets and then click the "get link here" tab that appears at the bottom of their spreadsheet.
  That link is the one that you will give to students to play the games. 

How to Play a Flippity Spelling Words Game:

Flippity Spelling Words games has three primary modes for learners…

1. "list" which simply reads each spelling word aloud to learners. 
2. "practice" in which learners hear a word read aloud and then have to type it. 
3. "quiz" mode in which learners again hear the words read aloud and have to type them. It is the resulting quiz scores that users can have emailed to them. 

For learners to play a Flippity Spelling Words game they have to…

• go to the URL that the user generated in the last step of the creation process outlined above. 
• select their names from the list of names that appears on the screen. If a learner chooses the wrong name, he/she can simply hit the back button to choose a different name. 
• progress through the games at their own pace. 

If learners master the spelling games that users have created for them through Flippity Spelling Words, they can choose the "more" tab on their games and see a set of related activities that are based on the same set of words. 

"Those additional games included a memory/ matching game, a snowman/ hangman game, a word scramble, and a word search."

FREE BOOKS – No catch

Open Education Resources (OER) such as Rice Universities “Open Stax” - https://openstax.org/ - project creates post16-level and AP certified digital textbooks that are free, sharable, and every bit as “authoritative” as traditional paper textbooks. 

The advantage of OER of course, is that no one single entity owns the material and texts can be…

·        augmented,

·        reorganised, and

·        rewritten to fit the needs of the user be it a single learning environment Educator or an entire Learning Provider Adoption.

No big time textbook publisher that I am aware of has that kind of model in place.

“OER is disruptive, money saving & shifts the power away from the publisher and towards the Educator and/or Learner."

If you give “Open Stax" a try or have already used "Open Stax “, do share your feedback, positive and/or negative, in the comments.

Thank you
