The flash cards can be adapted with a series of tasks for students to carry out independently in the lesson. These challenge tasks involve a series of extension tasks for students who complete work early or can be given specifically to gifted students. In my classroom I have a challenge jar, I have seen lots of variations of this activity from challenge sticks to a challenge wall. If a student struggles with a particular SPaG rule then they can have the relevant flash card on their desk to act as a reminder. The rules/ strategies can vary from using capital letters at the start of sentences to explaining when to use the correct there, their and they’re. These cards include literacy and numeracy rules. Similar to the key word cards, the support cards can be used with different students and classes. Typorama again makes the cards look visually impressive for students but more importantly than that, they are very quick and easy to produce. The secret mission cards did prove to motivate students and contribute to individual progress. The cards can encourage students to participate in the lesson, answer or ask questions, improve effort or behaviour, focus on literacy, challenge more able students and much more. The purpose of the secret mission cards vary for each individual student. Secret mission cards can be generic but I personalised the mission for each individual in my class. This is an idea I trialled with a KS3 class, that proved to be very successful as well enjoyable for the students. These can be used across different key stages and could be very helpful for EAL students. The cards can be used by students in the lesson, act as a useful revision tool encouraging students to become independent learners. Key word cards have a definition and image connected to the key word. Key words and their meaning can be difficult for students to grasp, remember and use in the correct context. In History, as all subjects, there are lots of subject specific terminology that are new for students.

They can be linked with your school reward system and linked to subjects, pastoral etc.Īnother brilliant free app to create praise postcards, where you can also include photos of students or their work, is Photofunia. This is a fantastic app to create fun, stand out praise postcards to send to both students and their parents.

I have also created a set of plenary dice with Typorama graphics, which again can be downloaded for free here. I also used the same visual images and questions to create exit tickets that students can verbally answer or write on at the end of the lesson. The flash cards have questions on that are used to promote discussion in pairs, groups or as a class.

I created a set of plenary flash cards which I laminated so I can use them with different classes, you can download my set of Typorama plenary flash cards for free here. This could also be a slide or a host of other creative plenaries. I have used Typorama visuals with questions to help students reflect on the lesson, set future targets etc. This is an interesting way to present lesson outcomes or pose key questions with relevant images too. This doesn’t overload students with too much text or information at once on screen, resulting in more of a prompt for discussion. Text is limited but I believe that is far better, because it allows the key points to be summarised. Typorama is a very quick and simple way to create visually impressive slides that can be included in your lesson presentations. I wanted to share ten methods to use Typorama focusing on teaching and learning. I have used this app in a variety of ways. There are also over 40 different typographic styles available with photo filters, overlays and adjustment tools. The images are powered by Pixabay search engine, where all images are released free of copyright. Images are provided on the app or you can upload your own from your camera roll.

Typorama app ( a free app but it does cost to remove the watermark) transforms photos and text into amazing typographic designs on iOS. I’m also keen to embrace technology in my classroom and lesson planning. I thoroughly enjoy creating teaching and learning resources. The app Typorama is a simple and easy app to use and I have used it in so many ways in my classroom!
