![]() I set up a Trello board for each of the three groups. Without having a physical classroom to sort cards, I researched a few options for how it could be done in a virtual environment. This semester, the fictional organizations: The Human Fund (from Seinfeld) Veridian Dynamics (from Better Off Ted), and Dunder Mifflin (from The Office). Before they can begin, they need to complete a message architecture that allows them to articulate and visualize their organization’s communication goals. In Writing for Public Relations (ADV 350) students are assigned a fictional organization for which they have to write a variety of press materials throughout the course. However, for one of my classes, there is a group assignment that’s traditionally done in-person, in the classroom. This fall my classes are online, an environment in which I’m very comfortable teaching. ![]() What i’ll say about about um this idea then is that when i was teaching a year 10 group a number of years ago what they saw with was the idea of revision and how to how to engage in the revision process and in my previous school what they did was they to try and get students to engage with the vision process they set up what i think what they call the revision hub on um on the school vle so they set up a revision home and all subjects were tasked with um ensuring it was populated with as many revision materials as they possibly could uh to ensure that when students went home during these the holidays whatever they had worked to do and they could you could do a bit of revision my issue with that was with with that was that i’d speak to the students and say did you look at that materials that are put on to the division hoping they’d be like what what revision or first of all or they’d say no i didn’t know where to look or you know it was like a convoluted way to try and get they had to click through a number of screens on the vla or whatever the students just weren’t using it they would simply won’t use it actually went to the um one of the technicians the it technicians and said is there a way of telling how often students are going on this page and he said i can tell you now that i’ve actually done this before and they don’t use it at all he said only a handful of students use so i was like what is the point then what is the purpose behind it so i thought what i have to do is i have to conduct a pupil panel if i tell you what i’m going to do just stop sharing my screen man i’ll just stop sharing for a second can you see me or yeah yeah i’m back am i sorry just that that would make me as well seemingly faced well um so this year 10 group i did i decided to conduct a pupil panel with them um and say to him okay well with the revision what is it you what are find it hard and the most common response i got from and it was primarily boys as well was i don’t know where to start i don’t know i know there’s loads to do i just haven’t got a clue where to start so i was thinking okay well the starting point is probably the vocabulary or ensuring that you’ve got a systematic way of learning your vocabulary for from my subject anyway um and they were like well i can’t with this vocab book you could actually give them like a vocab up that thick and say to me okay go and learn that and you know they’re not going to do that already so so i said to him what we’re trying to try and come up with a system where we can maybe learn some vocab maybe little and often and things like that so we set up vocab tests and things and we were doing okay with them not much better than they would expect in any case but then i thought okay well there’s got to be a way to um to get them to to focus their revision a bit more and to spend a bit more time on the actual revision process and it was actually a conversation with a young man called uh craig mystic mr barton math.Submitted by Marisa Peacock, College of Media, Charles H.
