How to Keep a Useful Record of Everything Taught
Build a lesson record from complementary pieces: the board work, the spoken explanation, a short summary and the assigned task. No single file automatically captures every part of teaching, so decide what a student will need to reconstruct the lesson later.
Different materials preserve different things
A recording captures your explanation but may be slow to search. Board notes preserve calculations and diagrams but omit discussion. A summary makes the lesson easy to scan but cannot replace every worked step. Keep the pieces connected with a clear title and date.
Create a complete but usable lesson record
Name the learning goal and identify the examples that are necessary for understanding it.
Save the written working or diagrams and record the explanation when a replay would help students.
Add a recap that points out the main conclusion, the mistake discussed and anything left unfinished.
Attach or name the follow-up exercise, then store lasting copies of materials you will need beyond their online availability.
Put it into practice
Example: a lesson on acceleration
Keep the velocity–time graph, the calculation of its gradient and a spoken explanation of negative acceleration. The recap should distinguish slowing down from a negative velocity. A final practice problem lets students check whether they can connect the graph and the calculation.
Before you share
- Do not describe a recording as a complete record if important board work is unreadable.
- Keep the essential material easy to locate; collecting more files does not automatically improve revision.
