Introduction to Teachers' Workshop 1

This first workshop is designed to help you to plan and teach a trial lesson using a computer simulation or model. In a second workshop you will evaluate this trial lesson, drawing on research findings, and plan further work. To support you in planning the trial lesson, in this workshop you will: 
  • review your current practice on the use of computer simulations and models;
  • learn more about the curriculum innovation;
  • review some of the research findings through 'stories' about teachers' implementation of the innovation;
  • plan a trial lesson that takes account of the aspects above.
For more details about the rationale behind the workshop, look at the section on Aims. If you want to see a list of all the activities in the workshop, go to the Activities section.
