Using ICT To Create Independent Learners.

This week I used Google Forms to create a short assessment to give learners after my lesson.
This will bring several elements into my lesson.

1. ICT skills and encourage them to use their student emails for better communication.
2. Allow them to use their phones/ipads for class work which will hopefully engage them more.
3. Use of English in that they will have to read and answer questions.
4 Employability, as I will be asking them to complete a form correctly, as they might a job application form.
5. Introduce flipped learning as they will have a new assessment put in their inbox each week to compete before the lesson!

I hope that by giving them an assessment where they get instant feedback, this will encourage them to compete with one another, thus gamifying the lesson, giving them the ability to identify their own strengths and weaknesses and thus giving them ownership and responsibility for their learning.
