Quality of work improving! Easy with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/idoceo\">@idoceo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RAG123?src=hash\">#RAG123<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/8Th8Gnh1Yu\">pic.twitter.com\/8Th8Gnh1Yu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MathedUp!

At the end of the lesson, those students who have requested a selfie, get a picture of their work taken and emailed home to their parents. The fact that they are told at the start of the lesson adds to their motivation and means they take even more pride in their work. I have been using this\u00a0idea, or a variation of it (full class selfies without request, random selfies, homework selfies etc) for almost a year and I can&#8217;t recommend highly enough! \u00a0 <img data-attachment-id=\"3428\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/request-a-work-selfie\/picture1\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1182,886\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Picture1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1-300x225.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1-1024x768.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-3428 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Picture1\" width=\"646\" height=\"485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mathedup.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Picture1.jpg 1182w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 646px) 100vw, 646px\" \/> It first seems like a lot of work from a teacher\u2019s perspective, but using an iPad alongside an app like iDoceo, makes it\u00a0really straight forward and only adds a few minutes on to my marking time. See below for a video guide on this: \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"646\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6WydPPJD6C0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The response to this has been phenomenal! There really has been a dramatic improvement in the quality of work students produce and it has\u00a0helped create a positive atmosphere in lessons.\u00a0I&#8217;ve received so many positive comments at parents evenings this year and feel that I have built up extremely useful relationships with the parents of the students I teach. I was even able to revisit some of these &#8216;selfies&#8217; during my discussions during\u00a0parents evenings as they were all stored in the iDoceo app and easily accessible. See the bottom of the page for a small sample of comments made by other teachers who have been using this idea. If you haven&#8217;t tried this before,\u00a0then do it.\u00a0Seriously. Vow to do it straight away. A money back guarantee from me! It really is worth the small investment in time. If you don&#8217;t have an iPad, you can take photo&#8217;s on your phone and send it that way. If you\u00a0do give it a go, please let me know how you have got on in the comments section below.
