Activities
Activity 1 (Main activity): What are my findings and what have I learned?
Complete this when you have collected and analysed some evidence to answer your research questions:
1) What have been the main findings of your research so far?
2) What have you learned as a teacher?
3) What are you planning to do next?
Answer the above questions in https://groups.io/g/Classroom-based-research under "What are your findings, and what have you learned?"
Activity 2: Present your overall research to others in the EVO community
We invited participants to present a 3-minute summary of their research in the REVISAR ESTO 6th live session (13th Feb), and five were able to take up this invitation. We are hoping to arrange another, special live session in March. If you would like to present, if possible make some accompanying visual material and provide the link to this or upload a maximum of three PowerPoint slides. You can tell us that you'd like to present - and upload your slides or tell us the link to other visual material in this Google Form REVISAR ESTO
You can also present your findings using one of the following:
1) Make your own oral and/or visual presentation and send it to Asli Saglam CAMBIAR ESTO at: [email protected] We will then provide details of where your presentation is to be found in the https://groups.io/g/Classroom-based-research space and Facebook page.
2) Share an oral and/or visual presentation directly to the Facebook page:
In the future you can carry on sharing your research in the Teachers Research! Facebook group and/or the Teaching English in Large Classes Facebook group .

Resources
Here are some resources mentioned in the webinar, to help you think about how to share your research with others:
1) Structure of a basic research report:
1. My starting-point / My questions
2. What did I do (to collect evidence / to analyse)?
3. What did I find and what did I learn?
2) Presentations of ideas gathered from teachers at the Kathmandu workshop (on video):
In these presentations groups of teachers share good ideas they have gathered from other teachers at the workshp in relation to particular issues which are important to them:
Materials and methodology in low-resource classrooms
Managing low-resource classrooms
Diversity in low-resource classrooms ]
3) Two examples of associated written reports:
[from Smith, R., Padwad, A. & Bullock, D. (eds.) Forthcoming. Teaching in Low-Resource Classrooms: Voices of Experience]
'Increasing participation and managing group work'
'Managing multiple classes in one room without partitions'
4) How can you structure a written report according to what you've written so far in https://groups.io/g/Classroom-based-research?
VER CÓMO ORGANIZAMOS ESTO EN EL GROUPS.IO
[1. My starting-point / My questions] → Google+ 1. Self-introductions / 2. You and your classroom / 4. What are your problems / puzzles?
[2. What did I do?] → Google+ 5. What will you explore, what evidence will you gather?] / 6. Ethical considerations / 7. How will you analyse?
[3. What did I find and what did I learn?] → Google+ 10. What are your findings, and what have you learned?
5) An article on teacher-friendly ways of sharing teacher-research:
Richard Smith, Deborah Bullock, Paula Rebolledo and Andrea Robles López - 'By teachers for teachers': innovative, teacher-friendly publishing of practitioner research
6) Presenting research online
Digital story-telling tools
Online Interactive Posters (Gloster & Thinglink)
7) Examples of poster presentations (at the Teachers Research! Izmir 2015 conference in Izmir, Turkey, 2015) which have been uploaded online.
