What a day! Year 10 Diploma from morning to night and some excellent student research produced (eventually). I also developed an ability to think on my feet, when the lesson I had planned on blogging fell apart due to lack of internet connection. (Note to self - always, ALWAYS have a contingency plan). On the plus side - I made good use of students as resources - they taught each other how to use certain applications (and thoroughly enjoyed imparting their knowledge). I encourage you all to do the same - it sure supports the old AfL.
I'm mentoring the technical theatre team. Today we had to learn the correct terminology to use when describing lighting and sound equipment used in theatrical productions. When I say 'we', I mean 'we'. I have no prior knowledge in this area so worked hand-in-hand with the students to discover more. Illuminating (pardon the pun!)
Here's a link to a wonderful website we stumbled upon that had lots of really useful information:
www.theatrecrafts.com/glossary/glossary.shtml
One of the best features of this site is that students have to know the term before they discover the meaning. In other words - they have to work for it - and are all the more chuffed with themselves when they succeed. Give it a go...
