Week 3 Group Task --- Yao Ruyan (Abby)

In the second class "Innovation In Action"，there are six dimensions of classroom practices identified as most important of any curriculum implementation using.In my opinion,an innovative classroom should include the basic 6 points,specifically as the following below:

1).Intended curriculum goals of the innovative practices

Students should get collaborative skills,integration of ICT knowledge,manipulate learning softwares. 

2).Pedagogical role of the teachers

Teachers are the leading people in an innovative classroom who plan teaching schedule for each stage of teaching.

Support students for searching and collecting resources,setting up groups,looking for the answers of problems,solving problems about the obstacles for using new technology and etc.

Co-learners to help students to plan their own learning schedules,projects,activities.

In the case CN001 My pocket money,teacher monitors students' task progression as the monitor;support enquiry process for students and team building and collaborative process of students as a supporter;liaise with parties outside school as a resources provider to help students get more background and professional knowledge.

3).Roles of the students

In my opinion,students should never just receive the information teachers told,just with a purpose of finishing the homework to complete the works.

Before the curriculum,students should find some references and do some research about the work to prepare well to get into the class as a good learner.

In an innovative classroom,students should initiatively to join the class and to be a co-teachers to plan their own learning schedule.

In the group work,every student should be leader.Just as the introduction of the distributed leadership,all students should make efforts to lead the team to do better.

After classes,students should also give feedbacks and their own opinions about the curriculum.

4).Nature and sophistication of the ICT used

In the innovative classroom,there should be more softwares for better using such as google docs,adobe series,prize,twitter,moodle and so on.

5).Connectedness of the classroom

Students and teachers can connect with each other though many different ways such as an online platform using during the class but also can support after the class.

6).Learning outcomes exhibited by learner during learning

In an innovative classroom.learning outcomes should divide into different parts,individual assignment(a case study,a learning portfolio,review of each class) ,group assignment(oral presentation,wiki of resources,links,references),participation in course discussion(oral discussion on the classes,critical analysis of key issues etc.).
