4. Teaching Tips for Specific Pedagogical Methodologies

4.1 Building Differentiated Lessons for Diverse Learners

Differentiation means tailoring instruction to meet individual needs, because at the heart of it, each learner is different and unique. Create subclasses (https://beed.ladesk.com/830825-How-to-create-and-edit-Subclasses) to organise your learners based on proficiency or interest, assign custom timetable slots (https://beed.ladesk.com/801426-How-to-create-Timetable-slots) and link different learning content (https://beed.ladesk.com/289386-How-do-I-link-Lessons-to-a-Timetable) tailored to each gr...

4.2 Building Lessons for a Flipped Classroom

A flipped classroom is a type of blended learning where students are introduced to content at home and practice working through it at school. This is the reverse of the more common practice of introducing new content at school, then assigning homework and projects to be completed by the students independently at home. You can create Flipped Classroom style lessons by downloading the Map Template (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11GvbrYGlMu_IXEvmAWw2C6HSToWQyHKT) and using it to organis...

4.3 Building Collaborative Learning through Lessons and Connect

Collaborative learning is possible in several ways through the BeED platform, even during virtual lessons. To encourage collaborative activities during a lesson, create a Conference block (https://beed.ladesk.com/463885-How-do-I-integrate-Zoom-or-other-conferencing-tools-into-my-Lesson) in your lesson. Your learners will then join a live conference where they can be organized into groups to work on activities simultaneously. If you have signed up for our Zoom integration (https://www.beed.world...

4.4 Building Lessons Based on Bloom’s Taxonomy

Scaffolding is the art of breaking down complex information, concepts and skills into bite-sized chunks of increasing complexity to aid in the learning process. One popular scaffolding approach is through the use of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Bloom’s Taxonomy consists of 6 stages with gradually increasing complexity. [1] Educators start by giving tasks that train learners to remember new information, and slowly work their way through increasingly complex tasks until learners are able to create or...

4.5 Building Lessons for Crossover Learning

Crossover learning integrates both formal and informal teaching and learning environments to provide a deeper contextual understanding of subject matter. Formal settings include a traditional classroom setup, while informal settings include places like museums, zoos, seminars and so on. The BeED LMS can be used as a tool to support crossover learning for lessons within and beyond a classroom setting. To begin, organize your crossover learning content by downloading the map template and using ...

4.6 Concept-based Learning

In concept-based curriculum and instruction, students focus on discovering the “big ideas” of content, rather than on the facts or skills of a topic. They are encouraged to bring real-world meaning into everyday classroom lessons, making learning more engaging and relevant for them as 21st century thinkers. The BeED LMS can be used as a tool to support concept-based learning within and beyond the classroom. To begin, plan out your units by identifying the key concepts and “big ideas” that yo...

4.7 How to Encourage Self-Learning Goals in Learners

Learners can be encouraged to go through the reflective process of setting their own goals through the BeED platform. All you have to do is download the map above (https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11GvbrYGlMu_IXEvmAWw2C6HSToWQyHKT) (or by creating a similar one) and by creating a Lesson with the following points. Point A: Getting Started In this point, you can ask preparatory questions to help set the objectives and mood for their journey, such as: - What are your goals, and why...
