Let's start at the very beginning...

Our First Session

We begun our first session by reviewing what ALiM is all about and why we are here. Then we got on to talking about what we like and dislike about maths and why this needs to be different if we are to succeed. 
What we like about maths

What we don't like about maths




















This flowed well into the development and co-construction of the guidelines of our learning community. 

Developing our learning community.  


Questioning that I used to elicit the co-constructed guidelines below.

Why are we here?
What do we want from this?
What could stop us from reaching our goals?
How does maths make you feel?
How would we like to feel about maths?
How can we do this?
What sorts of guidelines should we come up with?
How can we feel safe and secure to ask and answer questions and also disagree with others in our group?


The co-constructed guidelines



Introducing the learning site.

I launched the learning site with the ALiM students and showed them where to access this weeks Knowledge Development games.

Some students did a short video diary before they left. This will develop over time and I hope that it will become a great record of our collective learning and growth.

Milania was the bravest and the first to
start her video diary.
