I recently presented (virtually) about the SAMR framework for looking how you can transform learning through technology at TeachMeet Dorset. View that presentation below:
Welcome To My Blog
Finding out what works best for your school and your students is paramount. Get some kit in and try it out. Speak with schools that have been using the kit before. Just because I’m here saying this is the way to go, the market is always changing. Find out what…
I’m being asked over and over again at the moment about iPads and how they can be used in education. Here are some of the questions I’ve been asked lately. “My Head has given me 30 iPads and an Apple TV, what do I do?” “I’m looking at iPads. Are…
Where to begin? I love evidence and certainly the chart below starts a compelling conversation about how we are going to use technology in education in the future. If we are looking in to how we are going to equip our young people with the digital skills they are going…
Expect much more from me on SAMR and its uses and impact. For now though, please have a look at my presentation on the brilliant framework for thinking about how you use technology in lessons by Dr Ruben Puentedura. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic.

I was alerted to this great tool the other week by the great Doug Belshaw when he made this presentation here: http://dougbelshaw.com/presentations/2012/eskills/index.html#/ – this web based presentation has a number of key benefits to it. For starters, it’s really really simple to use, particularly if you use the web based creation tool found…
In recent times I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to speak at a number of different events. Ive delivered at In-house INSET sessions on iPads and learning, Web 2.0 tools, how to embed EdTech in to learning. That’s not including TeachMeet Clevedon events and all of the other TeachMeets…
I thought after all of the amazing feedback from last week’s event (was it really this time last week??!) I thought it was only fair that I pen my own response and thoughts about the night. Before the night even started, staff and students were working hard to make the…
A presentation from the recent TeachMeet Woodham where I spoke about ways in which an iPad can be used as a tool to support learning and activities in the classroom.

Found this fab site for creating flyers recently (thanks @mattbritland) which is simply brilliant. www.smore.com Simply add in the building blocks you want, choose your theme / layout / background and away you go. I’ve found it particularly useful as it takes the technical side of learning software out of…
Thanks to @andyhutt for the heads up on this one. Love this site for creating your own animated presentations. Here’s one I made earlier (mind out if you have speakers on for the annoying jingle at the end though!). It’s got a really simple to use interface with fab…
There are lots of great new features in the new iOS6 which can support teaching and learning but sometimes it's the small things which are great. I love the fact that they have now included a clock. A simple resource with a stopwatch and timer that you can put on…
Avid Studio (which cost £4.99) has been one of my secret weapon apps for some time as an alternative to the also fab iMovie. Imagine my surprise when I saw this notification in my updates in the app store. Avid Studio is now Pinnacle Studio and whilst essentially the same…
You may have noticed that I have recently written a few posts showcasing hints and tips about how to put learning on the wall in your classroom; how to display work via QR codes and how to bring in the wall to life with augmented reality but that necessitates access…
Found this app today thanks to @joe_moretti – prospects look really good. It’s an app which works with a 3rd party device they call a Bubblescope. With this device, and the app, you can record 360° photos and videos in your classroom. Superb idea! Follow here: @bubblepix App here: http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bubblepix/id478824625?ls=1&mt=8 I’m looking forward…
Many schools are embracing the use of iPad in education, with class packs, in 1:1 models but some aren’t. What if you’re one of those teachers though that wants to use an iPad in your classroom. What if there’s the possibility of using just one in your classroom, is there…
Curation has always been an important weapon in the arsenal of a student but never before has it been easier to curate, gather, organise and collate information on topics. It is going to change the way in which we teach and the way in which students learn and can access…
With the new school year around the corner – here are some of my best picks for students starting with their own iOS devices in September. CLASSES (£0.69) One of the first things you will do on your first day back at school is transfer your timetable to your…
