Last year I found that one of the things that made it harder for pupils to watch videos for homework, aside from not having the internet at home, was younger brothers and sisters being a nuisance.<\/p>\n<p>My young actors, with 10 minutes to prepare, sorted out the roles and then improvised magically\u2026<\/p>\n<hr>\n<blockquote><p>Pupil 1 (<em>KSA Student<\/em>) and pupil 2 (<em>Young Sibling<\/em>) are in the living room. <em>KSA Student<\/em> is on a laptop watching the maths video he has to watch for homework.<\/p>\n<p><em>Young sibling<\/em>: What are you doing?<br \/>\n<em>KSA Student<\/em>: My maths homework. Can you leave me alone for a little while?<br \/>\n<em>Young Sibling<\/em>: Let me see!<br \/>\n<em>KSA Student<\/em>: Not now, I just need to get on with this.<br \/>\n<em>Young Sibling<\/em>: Let me see! Show me the computer!<br \/>\n<em>KSA Student<\/em>: Stop it! I\u2019m trying to do my homework!<\/p>\n<p>[In walks Pupil 3 (<em>Parent<\/em>).]<\/p>\n<p><em>Parent<\/em>: [To Young Sibling] What are you doing?<br \/>\n<em>Young Sibling<\/em>: I want to see what\u2019s he\u2019s doing on the computer and I want to play.<br \/>\n<em>Parent<\/em>: He\u2019s doing his homework \u2013 you\u2019ll need to leave him to it for half an hour. You go to your room or play over there quietly.<\/p>\n<p>Ends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Questions<\/strong><br \/>\nThen I took questions from parents. Here\u2019s a list of the typical things I was asked:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there any evidence this works?<\/li>\n<li>How do you stop them watching videos on YouTube that they shouldn\u2019t be watching?<\/li>\n<li>What if they don\u2019t understand the video?<\/li>\n<li>Will you be able to tell if they have watched the video?<\/li>\n<li>What happens if the internet isn\u2019t working?<\/li>\n<li>What if we don\u2019t have a computer at home?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Parent Survey<\/strong><br \/>\nWe wanted a baseline \u2018temperature\u2019 check of parents\u2019 attitudes and the internet situation at home so before parents left, they were asked to complete an online survey (I brought laptops down to the hall).<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the key findings.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/presentation\/embed?id=1Elr2nPJyqOmishrI2I4MZuud3uDpIdi8kFil0raunyg&#038;start=true&#038;loop=true&#038;delayms=10000\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" height=\"389\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is the survey that parents completed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/embeddedform?formkey=dHRnRkZua0ltRnBUTHlkRE9QM216NVE6MQ\" width=\"620\" height=\"1680\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\">Loading&#8230;<\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We ran four parent information events to ensure that families understood the changes to their children\u2019s maths studies as a result of Project 24.
