Teacher activity no 1 - Identifying learners

Knowing learners’ names is an essential tool for an effective teacher. There are many ways to learn names - this activity will help you put names to faces and to seating positions in a classroom.

• Take photos of learners with a digital camera or mobile phone.
• Transfer the photos to the computer using USB cable or Bluetooth.
• Arrange images in suitable folders with meaningful names.
• Create a seating plan of the classroom and insert the images into the places where the learners usually sit and their names, aligning the images and the text meaningfully OR insert the learner's name on each image and arrange the pictures on a page where the learners usually sit.
• Submit a class seating plan as an attachment, of a grade 11 CAT class with teacher name and school to docpam@gmail.com by Friday 21 January - date extended to 28 January.

All plans will remain confidential. Creator of first completed seating plan submitted will be commended. OR send me an email indicating what of the above you are not technically able to do, and I will create a learning object to help you and others do that.
