Differentiation
Learners needing support:
- Could be shown a range of wired and wireless devices before watching the video to make sure they understand the difference.
- Could use a word bank to help them recall the names of devices in the video. They could circle the names of wired or unwired devices, instead of having to write them.
Learners working at a stretch:
- Could write down all of the devices they see in the video and sort them into two groups according to whether or not they are connected with wires.
- Could add extra examples of wired or wireless devices to their list.
