Reflections on the project:

What effect did it have on learning?
The News project introduced the learners to many different news items related to their curriculum area. It enhanced their own knowledge of the world of technology and introduced them to subjects and topics which they may not get exposed too otherwise. The learners engaged more in the lessons where the project had been used at the start of their lessons.

 

Have you extended the ARC project to other groups?
The project was used with L1, L2 and ESOL IT Learners.

Did the ARC project work for some or all learners?
The ARC project has worked for all the learners who participated. All learners engaged in the project and worked either individually or in groups to discover their own news articles.

 

What would you consider the highest impact the ARC has had?
The highest impact has been the way the learners were introduce to multiple subjects in computing, many of which are current and relevant to today’s world of technology e.g. mobile devices, robotics, AI and Cyber security.

 

How has it affected the team?
Some of the team have been encouraged to introduce the project to their own learners.

 

What are you plans next year?

The plan is to continue with the project next year and also introduce it to L3 learners.
