The purpose of this is for students to share their learning by teaching others online. There is a chance for them to reflect, ask questions, comment etc via @KidsCafeNZ.
Here is the link to the Kids Cafe blog.
Outline of Kids Cafe is below (copied from Simone Gentil's blog)
Kids Cafe runs on a four week cycle. Here is an outline:
Week 1 - At the start of the week sign your class up. Then add to the Google Doc, by recording what you could teach someone else or what you’d like to learn more about. You can do this by completing the kids registration form at the bottom of this doc. The Kids Cafe topics will also be announced on the Kids Cafe blog and via @KidsCafeNZ on Twitter.
Week 2 and Week 3 - These two weeks are set aside for presenters to create their tutorial, as well as for classes to plan how they are going to organise how they will run Kids Cafe in their own class. By Friday at 3pm all tutorials will be linked to the Kids Cafe Thinglink. Instructions on how to link your tutorial will be able to be found on the Kids Cafe blog -
Week 4 - Run your own Kids Cafe in your classroom sometime during the week. Click here for an example of how you could do this in your class. On the Friday join in the @KidsCafeNZ Twitter chat to reflect on your learning, share photos of Kids Cafe in your class and to provide the presenters with feedback, as well as to discuss topic ideas for the next Kids Cafe.
Hi Marcelle
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really interesting. I wonder how you see this fitting into the Vardon scene?
Who would take part? would you open it to everyone? I'm interested in how it might look.
