Observations of LLS DLs teaching Flash to Year 9 classes

DLs come up with links as good if not better than the teacher – eg.
Will introduced the lesson linking it back to V.I.S.T.A.
Ollie – “Flash is like Paint.net – it uses layers”
They very quickly realised the usefulness of chunking up the lesson into smaller bits eg.  getting the students to open Flash and the tutorial on Fronter BEFORE the detailed walkthrough of making the cricket ball spin…
Their student-speak is better than the teacher…
They have more energy(!) Show great confidence…
They still find that some students finish quickly and others more slowly… look for extension tasks…
