| Abstract: | This 2½ minute clip is an introduction to a primary school class about the whole issue of keeping secrets. Teacher Diane uses a single image to stimulate some initial discussion, with a ticker-tape ‘core’ question streaming across the screen.
She then uses sound files, recorded before the lesson, to give the children ‘another voice’ through which they can express their ideas and which can then act as a stimulus for continuing dialogue. The children answered the question, "When is it right to keep a secret for myself and for a friend?" This is another way of sharing views orally. It is easiest to do using the IWB’s own audio recording facility – even young primary children can operate this themselves – but can be done using a portable digital audio recorder too. Playing pre-recordings of students’ opinions is an effective stimulus for class dialogue – it pre-packages the information for discussion, and forces students to respond to each other. Audio files can be embedded in the flipchart so they can easily be clicked on to play in succession. This footage was collected during the IWBs and Dialogic Teaching research study funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ref. RES-063-27-0081) as part of a personal Research Fellowship carried out by Sara Hennessy during 2007-10. ref. Diane Lesson 1: 13.59.31-14.02.00 (D1.1). |
