The EV was impressed the the amount of work you have produced for single units, also highlighted that all students have reflected on all the work they have produced.

Mary, Kevan and George represented both group 1 and 2, and I would like to thank them specially for their honesty. They have said what the all class think about the year together;-

- Miss is making us work hard, but for our good

- Mary added that I was quite an inspirational teacher, helping students with their personal goals.

At this event all your work produced was shown, even the Artwork Imaging film where you all demonstrate you ability to both present work and using software  to produce complex imagery.

Collecting evidence with video equipment


Capturing evidence of learning using video equipment, is now as easy as ABC, teachers can use their mobile phones to collect evidence of learning, and use the information for Internal/External Verification purposes. 

It is very helpful to use camera equipment to assess;

  1. Learners’ report on term activities and difficulties
  2. Students’ interactions during classroom events
  3. Students’ construction of knowledge in basic design theory and hands-on activities (in my case, ability to demonstrate how to use software packages, and creative ideas)
  4. Students’ ability to present information

This technique of collecting evidence of learning is very effective in helping the student improve on/developing a range of communication skills such as;-

  • Conveying ideas
  • Expressing thoughts and feelings
  • Interact with other students within a set context (out if their comfort zone)
  • Presenting information
