Last week I finally got round doing something I had wanted to do with my Yr11 classes for a long time. We acted a Displacement - Time graph. This might not sound amazing to you and I have done a similar activity in the past, but this time the difference was that my learners could actually check their [...]

I am finally finding literally 5 minutes to catch up with a few things I have been doing since the beginning of the term and I wanted to share with you how I am using kidblog.org to create collaborative feedback between different schools and cross-phase. Our Yr12 Blog is here. I believe allowing our learners [...]

In my previous post I showed the first part of my boys’ story mind map, i.e. the mind map we designed together to tell the story they were creating. We used iMindMap 5 because we wanted eventually to narrate their story by recording audio comments on branches. That turned out to be a really effective [...]

In this Blog I invite you to support my video entry to the O2 Learn Competition for three simple reasons: 1) I believe some of the videos that are winning the Fortnightly stages give a poor representation of Education in Britain 2) Many teachers who have submitted a video are cheating by creating false accounts to gain extra [...]
