Science IWB training course

Posted on May 21, 2008 in Interactive Whiteboards | 0 comments

Just a quick blog post to say there are still places available on my IWB in Science course for Lighthouse in London on 17th June (flyer)

More details here

Contact Lighthouse if you want any more information about this course or the other courses later in the year.

I’ll be delivering a day in Glasgow in November for another provider. I’ll hopefully be able to post the details on here in the near future.

TeachMeet

Posted on May 21, 2008 in Conferences | 4 comments

Well I went to TeachMeet on Monday and had a great time. I met up with a few people I’ve met through Twitter, and one or two ex-colleagues too.

You can see a run-down of what happened on the TeachMeet wiki, but here are some of the things that I wanted to share:

The Visualiser Forum Launched, drawing upon experience in Havering Schools

Andy Black shows off some good robust digital camcorders,

www.gogivers.org – a site for primary schools with lots of useful FREE webtools: Timeline, Decision Tree World Viewer, Mindmapping etc.

WhatWorksWell - a website for sharing improvement in learning. Any teacher or education professional can publish their own case studies using the template provided. Launched end Nov – over 60 case studies up there already.

The Coming of Age book was mentioned by Terry Freedman.

Looking forward to future Teachmeets, I hope to be able to contribute something next time.
