I was really pleased to be involved with TeachMeet Coop tonight. Many many thanks to Hetty Blackmore (@hettyislearning) for organising such a slick event. It was held at the Bristol & Bath Science Park just outside Bristol on the outer ring road. It really is a splendid venue: With…
An MFL colleague recently asked me for some help on Apps and other E-Learning methods to help with learning about pronunciation. Not exactly being my area of subject expertise, I had some ideas, but I turned to my PLN for some too. Thanks to @CeriAnwen, @bellaale and more for their ideas. This…
I was asked earlier this week by a colleague to recommend some ways in which iPads can be used to support students with PMLD (Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties). I’m embarrassed to say that it’s an abbreviation I hadn’t come across before so I’ve got my ‘learn on’. “People with a…

I don’t get as much time to network and share as much as I used to, especially when it comes to the amazing movement of Digital Leaders in our schools across the country. When I was at the Apple Distinguished Educators Institute back last August however and we were asked…
iBooks 2 which was launched back in January 2012 was a massive step forward in the world of reading and learning. We were all wowed by the presentation shown at the Guggenheim Museum with the ‘Life On Earth’ example. It had impressive 3D interactive images. It had an in-depth glossary….
The more I learn as a grown up, the less I know that I know. There are vast bodies of knowledge out there that I have not had contact with and really could probably avoid in my day to day life. So why shouldn’t I? It would certainly be easier….
[two_third_last] [/two_third_last]I was tempted by the Adjonit Jot Pro stylus but with its bit of plastic on the end, but I couldn’t help but think it would be the equivalent of of trying to walk with your shoe hanging off the end of your foot. The reviews of the Maglus…
