It's 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @JoeLittlewood: 'Classroom displays: who are they for? Teachers? Parents? OFSTED? Maybe even kids?' Just thought I'd mention that as an ICT teacher Desktop Backgrounds are useful displays too. #ukedchat #ukedchat During training I was placed in various schools with differing policies. Some that I even agreed with! RT @ukedchat: It's 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @JoeLittlewood: 'Classroom displays: who are they for? Teachers? Parents? OFSTED? Maybe ... RT @ukedchat: It's 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @JoeLittlewood: 'Classroom displays: who are they for? Teachers? Parents? OFSTED? Maybe ... @eslweb ooh good tip, thanks! #ukedchat @eslweb That's true. I try to keep writing aids on my desktop. #ukedchat #ukedchat and being from an arts background, visual learning is important to me. It depends where a display is as to its audience, classroom displays should be works in progress documenting learning #ukedchat #ukedchat I see a lot of displays 'for the kids' that just become wall paper. They need to be refreshed often and used. @eslweb Yes I used to theme it everyday and link to a subject the children were studying #ukedchat I use a cheap digi photo frame as a live and dynamic display of work/activities as they have happened #ukedchat #ukedchat I now work at a school with quite an open philosophy to displays so I am able to use what I feel are the best bits of other strats #ukedchat displays-interested in concept of them as an 'appearance of learning' as opposed to real learning? #UKEdChat Displays have various purposes. Celebrating, supporting, guiding. Displays in whatever form and for whatever purpose should always be student focused - everything else is secondary #ukedchat

As well as useful visual resources and prompts, also important to immerse environment in the topic #ukedchat #ukedchat display *can* say a lot about a schools ethos if it is seen as part of how learning is communicated in the school. @tmeeky where is the frame? #ukedchat @joelittlewood i never even know there were policies on classroom displays #ukedchat RT @redgierob: @ukedchat check out http://t.co/VU122QLC for excellent resources for English/ literacy http://t.co/Lw9C7MfQ #ukedchat I used to use screensaver for displaying reminders/photos too.. #ukedchat #UKEdChat Children's displayed work should be shown to be valued. @SingleStepsBlog appearances can be deceptive! #ukedchat @Mad_teach the frame just sits on a window sill in easy view ... it slideshows pics from a usb stick when on. #ukedchat #ukedchat display has to be much more than sticking up laminated essays and curvy corrugated card borders. @MrIanHickman agreed, work up there, even work in progress can be really inspiring for some #ukedchat @eslweb I've started making this http://t.co/jYsAjnBZ to help my class... and others. #ukedchat #ukedchat I wrote this about display an its purpose in schools- 'judging a book by its cover' http://t.co/n5YsTEMS #ukedchat I often think sec schools should take inspirations from prim.

@ICTmagic #ukedchat we have NONE!! Best decision we made ;) #ukedchat my classroom displays are used to showcase the best work. The students often try to produce better work so it gets displayed. My favourite display was one of @Mr_T2 's - he had 6 years worth of displays on one board. One hid behind the other #ukedchat Word Clouds are great for displays - alternative way of presenting speeches, text or key words #ukedchat @bekblayton @day_tom how / where do u display the vids? #ukedchat #ukedchat display should reflect the core values of the school and most importantly, how does it move learning forward? #ukedchat I devote a whole board to a curriculum map of the topic and how it fits together. Easy reference for HT and parents and children mixture of displays both the culmination and the journey of learning ensures children see its not just about the finished piece #ukedchat @RobsNiceLife sorry how do you mean. do you mean get the environment of the topic on there #ukedchat What about expectations, how often should they be changed, by who? Can impact on time spent with children #ukedchat @DJTom3 It is not always the case that displays are student focused in classrooms #ukedchat RT @Pekabelo: #ukedchat display *can* say a lot about a schools ethos if it is seen as part of how learning is communicated in the school. roll of whiteboard sheets/paper (as seen on dragon's den) are good for capturing kids' brainstorms etc and will stick to wall #ukedchat @cherrylkd that sounds good #ukedchat @Mad_teach @bekblayton Never thought of QR codes to link to students work on VLE / Website.

Kids love it #ukedchat #ukedchat displays can be great for selling students a vision of learning and how they might get there. @MartindalePaul Are you Primary or Secondary? Is there an impact on self esteem and feeling of value of work? #GenuinelyInterested #ukedchat #ukedchat Q: has anyone ever openly disagreed with a 'non-negotiable' ie: specific curric focus for working wall? Outcomes? i think school displays should be covered in the training for teachers as i have heard they dont do much on it. thoughts? #ukedchat @bekblayton @somebody_2 @piersyoung yes displaying finished work can aid learning of future students,also aid reflection&esteem #ukedchat #ukedchat think chd taking great pride in disp is a great thing. The best outcomes I see r when faces light up to see their work 'on show' @Lynnewin100 Yes. We have eyepads so is very easy. As you say, it helps visual learners #ukedchat @piersyoung is there any research out there on this subject? Any links anyone has? #ukedchat Founds pages from @HoldYeFrontPage great for history displays to capture engagement as well as examples of newspaper reporting #ukedchat Really recommend to #woodtm crowd the following twitter feeds #ukedchat every Thursday 8-9pm and #SLTchat every Sunday evening 8-8:30pm @bekblayton @somebody_2 #ukedchat quite possibly but find finished work doesn't fire children's discussion as much as works in progress. #ukedchat may have been said - a beautifully decorated room shows the teacher's pride in the learning space. Displays show ownership. @Monty_Math yes! And stressing that it's 'perfect'. #ukedchat @cherrylkd @lynnewin100 #ukedchat surely you can't see if you're wearing eye pads? :)

Creates great sense of ownership, pride and competition #ukedchat @TAPrimary @piersyoung think children take great pride in their displays, and can encourage talk amongst other pupils. #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda Why not link blogs to displays through QR Codes and augmented reality apps like Aurasma? #ukedchat @mattjamestwit For Economics students: #econ1 #econ2 Keeps students upto date. #ukedchat @TAPrimary yes, and also to demonstrate how the work developed- as others have said a is play that grows throughout the year #ukedchat @Pekabelo @KDWScience #ukedchat exploring edmodo at mo & works quite well Favourite display in my room is of thunks.

@Pekabelo who me? @ecarsontc #ukedchat The problem with displays is finding time to make them. Practically impossible to get support with it #ukedchat #ukedchat personally, I fill blank wall space with key words/number lines/graphemes etc and use boards for collections of work on themes. @ecarsontc Have a look at The Little Book of Thunks - great examples and an exposition of how they can be used. Great stuff. #ukedchat @ICTmagic not a substitute but a support #ukedchat ...referring to past walls throughout the year. Other displays: celebrations/ reference points/ 'belonging'/ awareness etc #ukedchat #ukedchat That's children's work and outcomes, not adult created! I like putting up displays. It lets me be creative and inventive with the design... oh... and the children! #ukedchat @ICTmagic Both. We designed,fnd display took huge amount time& little impact.

It was lively #ukedchat @ICTmagic sure businesses, sharing news, updates bekblayton & relevant info.. not to mention awards.. employee of the month anyone?! #ukedchat Top tip via @KellyLHawkins Type the words you want ICTEvangelist for title. Project on big screen - A4 card. Trace. Cut out. Voila! Looks fab! #ukedchat @bekblayton So is that just 'star of the week' for ICTmagic adults? #ukedchat @ICTmagic I like using fabric from the bargain bins geekyteach as backing - cheap, colorful, and lasts for years! #ukedchat RT @redgierob: @ukedchat check out MissGouldTweets http://t.co/VU122QLC for excellent resources for English/ literacy http://t.co/Lw9C7MfQ #ukedchat For there learning as a child you do look them as DJTom3 children do take in whats around them and they are mainy focused for kids but #ukedchat @ianaddison Display policy?!?!?! Really? I'm JosephBaldwin intrigued. Are you not deemed professional enough to operate without one? #ukedchat #ukedchat @ianaddison easy tiger - its a dark place ethinking on my side of the tracks @Monty_Math @joelittlewood seems at moment def TAPrimary only aimed at new parents, not for children at all #ukedchat ICTmagic @geekyteach That's a good idea. #ukedchat @MrG_ICT I use thunks in P4C and also for morning Vickycarl board activities #ukedchat

RT @MiltonSchwarz: #ukedchat Don't really agree with disp policy, just high expectations. Teachers and chd shd have freedom to be creati ... @ethinking or then promote sustainability within the curriculum! #ukedchat @MissJLud @KellyLHawkins thats how I did the big letters here #ukedchat http://t.co/pOdSfoPt #ukedchat For some chd, where their outcomes and efforts aren't celebrated at home, seeing work on a quality display promotes esteem. @geekyteach @ICTmagic #ukedchat me too. A trick from Kenyan days where paper was actually much harder to come by #ukedchat @ecarsontc @ianaddison is it in the agreed font and double mounted Inspired so much by Twitter, I might get students to write tweets from famous historical people for a display. Could be good #ukedchat Having a Writer of the Week board outside my classroom is one of my favourite/easiest/and the one that's had the most response #ukedchat @Jivespin I've often thought that assemblies should be more like a exhibition than a seminar. Exploring, touching, knowing things #ukedchat Isn't it in the conditions of service that teachers shouldn't be spending time making displays? #ukedchat RT @MiltonSchwarz: #ukedchat Don't really agree with disp policy, just high expectations. Teachers (cont) http://t.co/5U5pkCSZ Displays are also can be important for parents as they will see what there child has been learning. #ukedchat RT @MrWaldram: Having a Writer of the Week board outside my classroom is one of my favourite/easiest/& has had the most response #ukedchat RT @oliverquinlan: Isn't it in the conditions of service that teachers shouldn't be spending time making displays? #ukedchat IMHO teachers are too highly paid to be creating displays. Their time should be spent on higher order

activities. #ukedchat #ukedchat Since making my cool wall I'm using velcro on backing so displays can change instantly! Not quite digital... http://t.co/Xrpp9GXE @jivespin I may steal that idea too... #ukedchat RT @ethinking: #ukedchat if you are double mounting you can't actually get on with anything (cont) http://t.co/mRbbNu0Z @ICTmagic Yes, Better than a traditional preaching approach. #ukedchat Well known experiment where children are given cameras to film their journey around school. Makes you realise what they see. #ukedchat @Lynnewin100 I think that is a piece of creative writing in the making! #ukedchat #SuperSkySheep So glad to join #ukedchat tonight. Display boards in my classroom r coming soon. Talk about timing As @oliverquinlan says, displays shouldn't be created by the teacher. That has been in place for about 8 years hasn't it? #ukedchat I sometimes take pictures of some of the displays and put them on the blog, so parents who don't get in can see them too. #ukedchat @Jivespin That's a great idea! #ukedchat @ethinking @ecarsontc @ianaddison at right angles of course?! #ukedchat Really chuffed with #ukedchat tonight as totally inspired to use QR codes in Music to link to SoundCloud. Excited! When I went to St Andrews one thing that grabbed me in the museum was a 'Curiosity display' Put in a bunch of random objects #ukedchat @MrWaldram agreed! Writer of the week is great for lit coordinator too..as is sports/team displays.World cup&olympic too #ukedchat @MissJLud love your walls, they are great #ukedchat @oliverquinlan isnt part of the job though #ukedchat agree though it can be TAs who do it too @MrWaldram Have a look at the book Historical Tweets for inspiration! Good linked website too! #ukedchat Ironic choice of topic for tonights #ukedchat bearing in

mind the joint union action on work to rule includes not putting up displays RT @MiltonSchwarz: #ukedchat Don't really agree with disp policy, just high expectations. Teachers and chd shd have freedom to be creati ... #UKEdchat - http://t.co/JDyL1yL0 "Interactive Classroom Displays" @oliverquinlan I never did get that 'rule' Can't see what's wrong with doing displays. #ukedchat NUT says, such tasks are not the duty of teacher: display p.38 http://t.co/DmUhufBs #ukedchat #teacherconfession I love doing my own displays. You'll have to pry that wall stapler out of my cold, dead hands. #ukedchat #ukedchat all this talk of display, display brings a school to life, but makes me wonder what union perspective would be via current action? @TAPrimary @ethinking @ianaddison #ukedchat oh, I prefer jaunty angles myself, if its good enough 4 my hat it's good enough 4 my displays #ukedchat - "Not all displays are for children": http://t.co/w6Hcj4d0 @JosephBaldwin Cheers! Can you imagine The Cuban Missile Crisis in 140 characters? #ukedchat #ukedchat What's thoughts on viewing one of these through Visualizer as part of display to inspire descriptive writing? http://t.co/nNh0FZI8 We have something similar, star of week, sure children look at that more than anything else @MrWaldram #ukedchat @Pekabelo @ethinking @ecarsontc ours says about having a vcop display on the same wall as the whiteboard #ukedchat #ukedchat @ebd35 It is a waste of your highly paid and highly skilled time. You should be spending that time thinking about learning. I do tend to do it of an evening when I'm hanging around for a govs meeting though so not really taking up school time #ukedchat Apologise for grumpy tweets tonight. Just hate producing stuff 'for display' rather set tasks 'for learning'! #ukedchat

@ianaddison @oliverquinlan I think there's a difference between learning displays and info displays. happy to do 1, not other. #ukedchat @oliverquinlan displays can be valuable learning tools, so teachers need to ensure they create the tools for their classroom #ukedchat RT @ebd35: @oliverquinlan I never did get that 'rule' Can't see what's wrong with doing displays. #ukedchat @ianaddison @Pekabelo @ethinking so behind. Vcop? #ukedchat #ukedchat Displays can be a record and reminder of fun events and visits- helps pupils to remember their enjoyment. http://t.co/iuXddbhs @kim2941 ok get you. Understand. No right answer there I'm afraid. Know what I would do but not for me to say! #ukedchat Joining in #ukedchat tonight may have sorted my Open Evening display quandaries. Nice one! surely displays are a collaborative effort between those who use the classroom - ta, teacher, kids etc #ukedchat @Jivespin I will, thanks. #Ukedchat @dockers_hoops @MissJLud @KellyLHawkins Kellys Little book of wall displays is awesome #ukedchat #ukedchat @day_tom @ianaddison If you are planning it OK, if you are putting it up that's a 'clerical task' according to the NUT. #ukedchat @oliverquinlan it's also in the terms of employment is that teachers will do anything reasonably requested by their head teacher #ukedchat one of my best displays though is the world map with pins in & flags added 4each country that visits our blog!! Geography tactic #ukedchat @cherrylkd @ethinking Do the children really care? Does it have an impact on their learning? #ukedchat @ebd35 but you pinning them to the wall doesn't. @MrsThorne: I love doing my own displays. You'll have to pry that wall stapler out of my cold, dead hands. #ukedchat.<me 2! border anyone?

@bekblayton that looks great!we hung student photography from ceiling on fishing wire at dif heights and shone lights around room #ukedchat @oliverquinlan @ebd35 Aren't great displays about learning, though?#ukedchat Maybe you could create a display showing which children would take o'levels and which would be the dropouts? #ukedchat #ukedchat @richardanderson Quite possibly, but teachers don't have to spend hours cutting, sticking and laminating for that. #ukedchat @cherrylkd @oliverquinlan it doesn't get spoiled on a blog and more people see it. Displays are invisible to children you know, as a passionate artist, designer and educator so much of what I see on #ukedchat tonight is depressing the hell out of me @ralasdair - one of those things that makes sense when it's explained to people, but gut/press reaction is 'jobsworth unions'.#ukedchat RT @Kezmerrelda: #ukedchat one of my best displays though is the world map with pins in & flags added 4each country that visits our ... Good blog on who displays serve http://t.co/YQC9XZWc #ukedchat Lots of great tweets about displays for children, what about patents? What displays to they see around your school? #ukedchat @richardanderson @oliverquinlan @ebd35 of course they are! Teachers need to have control over the learning environment #ukedchat @oliverquinlan @cherrylkd @ethinking im belive they do care and it makes difference #ukedchat RT @ethinking: #ukedchat Displays are invisible to children <-- evidence please? I still remember things from displays when I was at school @MrsThorne #ukedchat Me too! Love seeing the finished board and the chd's reactions... @oliverquinlan agree. A difference between planning and doing. tbh, i'm useless at putting them up as well! #ukedchat @oliverquinlan #ukedchat The prob. is that telling

someone how you want something 'cut' and 'stuck' often takes as long as DIY RT @ebd35: @oliverquinlan I never did get that 'rule' Can't see what's wrong with doing displays. #ukedchat @ICTmagic DM me & will send some pics-we have it thro' sch from FS up & have had no probs :) #ukedchat @oliverquinlan @day_tom @ianaddison If I left my displays to clerical staff they'd be out of date before they're up,no value to ch.#ukedchat #ukedchat @DJTom3 @cherrylkd @ethinking You believe do you have any evidence to support that? I can remember getting marked down in my lesson observation because my display in my room didn't relate to what I was teaching :( #ukedchat RT @richardanderson: @oliverquinlan @ebd35 Aren't great displays about learning, though? #ukedchat @ethinking @oliverquinlan Not to SEN who can't blog! Visual learners, not readers. #ukedchat It's 9pm. Huge thanks to @JoeLittlewood for hosting a great discussion. The #ukedchat archive will be at http://t.co/cfzdwze9 soon.
