 * __ Reflect on the implications of this learning sequence for your teaching practice. __ ​ **

The implications of this learning sequence for teaching practice requires the teacher to have or have gained during planning sufficient knowledge regarding the different types of packaging that is available and whether this packaging is reuseable, recyclable or rubbish. The teacher will need to have insight into the environmental effects of packaging. Being aware of and understanding the waste disposal and recycling facilities and processes within the school will be necessary so that guidence can be provided when implementing solutions to the inquiry problem. Understanding of the concept reduce, reuse and recycle is paramount in order to relay the information and support student learning. Effective use of the computer resources is essential to creating productive lessons. Programs need to load quickly and all of the programs checked before-hand to ensure they are available on the laptops. The teacher will need to have sufficient knowledge on information technology practices to set-up many of the ICT resources that will be used during the lessons. For example knowing how to create a class wiki,and to provide relevant images on the interactive whiteboard. Researching the interactive learning resources, 'Ollies world' and "why recycle' to ensure that the information these resources contain are relevant to the inquiry topic and whether or not the information is accurate and factual. The teacher can access these resources as a learner arming them with information so that questions from the students' can be easily answered supporting learning and providing guidance when navigating through the sites. Teachers' will need to accomodate varying learning styles and will successfully achieve this by being aware of students' individual needs and learning requirements as well as knowing the class dynamics of which students work well together. How the teacher groups the students and which group the teacher places the intellectually disabled student is of importance to the success of the lessons. Every student needs to be active in each group and given a chance to colloborate with other students and as such will be placing the intellectually disabled student with student A in group 4, providing the student with a specific task of creating a poster displaying examples of packaging and solutions to reduce, reuse and recycle. This student will be supported by student A and an Integration Aide. Organisation of class wiki, other teachers' being aware that students' from this class will survey other classes, the IT teacher to assist with loading information on the school intranet and guidence with any other technical problems that arise.
