A high quality education providing value for money
The Virtual Classroom
Pupils and their subject teacher log into class lessons every week day
morning for a 9.30am start. The class greet each other and chat and
text briefly before the lesson starts.
They can check their timetable for the week; check the main school notice board
for updated information; look at the student Message Boards and keep in touch
with classmates; the Lesson Library is good for revision and going over work
again in your own time; there’s a Games Room; the facility to upload homework;
read your grades and reports on homework; contact the head teacher; the
Common Room; school email; and My InterHigh.
Pupils click on their Start lesson icon at 9.25 as lessons start at 9.30am,
the registers show who has logged into their respective lessons.
The school timetable provides a structured day with most lessons finishing by
lunchtime. The number of different subjects taught in any one day is kept to
minimum which allows the consolidation of what is being learnt.
The classroom is divided into 3 areas :
The voice area; the teachers and
students names appear, and
everyone can hear the teacher
talking, and can ask or answer
questions and talk to the whole class.
The text area: Teachers and pupils
can also communicate using the text
area. There is the public text which
everyone in the class can see, but
there is also a private messaging
facility so that questions can be
asked in private.
The work area: The teacher can use a
follow-me-browser
to take the class
to a specific website. The interactive
whiteboard works in the same way
as any other class room whiteboard
and sometimes Powerpoint
presentations are used to illustrate a
subject. Pupils often enjoy preparing
their own presentations on a topic
and these can be uploaded to be
viewed by the whole class.
The variety of technology in the
classroom means that pupils can
quickly gain confidence in classroom
communication and there is the
opportunity for extra support on a
topic by topic basis.
The communication mechanisms make
for a friendly and supportive
atmosphere.
