Lesson Review

Students’ Comments “I found it easy, easier than other grammar. I don’t know but it was very fantastic very good grammar. I did it very good and I like to do more like this.” “Well er I think if we use LAMS the rest of the time we have for to finish the year [it would be good]” “Yeah, I would really like to use LAMS again. I hope we’re going to carry on by using this LAMS.”

The Lesson - Good aspects No major technical problems. The students completed the tasks. The learning outcomes were met. Students worked at own pace. Support for weaker students. Students were engaged throughout the lesson.

The Lesson - Issues Some students finished early – differentiation needed. No time for moderation or feedback from chat. No time to look together at forum entries.

Issues with LAMS Difficult to go from task to task. The forum was difficult to use. Getting back into the sequence is problematic. Students can complete the sequence without engaging in the activities.

Evaluation I enjoyed teaching the lesson. The students all enjoyed doing the activities and want to use LAMS again. The learning outcomes were achieved. Students comments. More differentiation needed. LAMS can be used to teach grammar in a blended environment.

Final Thoughts I’ve used LAMS with the same group 6 times this term because the students like it. It is versatile. All the resources in one place. It’s getting quicker and easier to design sequences. Using LAMS to monitor learning. Teacher’s role using LAMS in a blended environment LAMS is fit for purpose. I’ll be using LAMS in a blended environment again and again!
