Recently, I have been using the 5 minute lesson plan to structure my lessons. When I looked at the Engagement box, I had a long think about how could I use this as students come into my lesson, even before they sit down.
Some how whilst having this thought, I saw a clip from the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic games. When the camera panned out from a group of athletes it showed two athletes holding their smart phones in the air, with a scrolling message saying 'Thank you London'.
I then went onto the app store and downloaded a banner app. This has gone down very well in my lessons. i I have used it in theory lesson to give instructions for students before they sit down, and practical lessons outside with the learning objectives or key teaching points for skills.
