Pleasingly, I have been able to track down 3 more videos from #JuicyLearning at the last #TMClevedon. Unfortunately, the clips of me and of Jim Smith haven’t seen the light of day – they’ll forever be one of those, “you had to be there” moments, but for now…. here are…
Welcome To My Blog

This past year preparing for the launch of iPads has been an interesting one for sure. I’ve been privileged to be able to work with amazing colleagues, students, parents and ADEs. It has provided yet again another brilliant learning curve for me. I’ll go ahead and say it – I…
Today marked my 3rd visit to the West of England ICT Conference at UWE and I wasn’t disappointed, quite the opposite. For me personally, it provided a clear landmark for me too, for how far I have come on my professional journey since my first visit where I was so…
In preparation for the full launch of the iPad project where I work, I organised 2 weeks worth of parental iPad experience sessions. I set them up with timings scattered across the various days to try and make sure everyone who wanted to come was able to. There were a…
Here is my presentation from #TMStJulians this week. Hope you find the tools and information of use. Mark ICTEvangelist TeachMeetStJulians presentation

It’s known in many circles that I’m leading on how the iPad can be used to inform and support teaching and learning at Clevedon School. Part of that role involves me looking at apps and determining their pedagogical value and how they might be used to support learning. With that…
Following meeting the lovely Catherine Cains from Brislington Enterprise College, Bristol, I was asked to present at her TeachMeet following on from her BITES event at Brislington. I was unfortunately unable to make it, but recorded these 20 ideas in 5 minutes for her which you can now see on…

Ok, so apart from being really inspiring about what technology can do and perhaps for live mixing of tracks in a DJ style in Music lessons; and perhaps in Media lessons, or perhaps creating a video montage quickly and easily of Sports Day or a trip you’ve been…
In a time where the future of the subject I teach and the moniker I use here on my blog and on Twitter seems to be under constant attack (that’s ICT if you hadn’t worked it out) you’d think I’d find it difficult to find reasons to be cheerful. What’s…

Many is the time when I’ve been considering ways to flip my classrooms. MentorMob provides an excellent way of doing this. A web 2.0 tool to share ‘learning playlists’ – a bit like micro favourite lists as you might see on delicious, the site allows members of the community to…
I am deeply honoured to have been asked to host #ukedchat again this coming Thursday. It’s a real opportunity to connect with hundreds of teachers and discuss topics related to teaching & learning and a great experience to boot. If you’d like to help shape the discussion for next…

I’ve been wanting to write a follow up to my popular 1st little book for some time now, but I really wanted to make sure that all of the ideas that I put in to it were really tried and tested. That they really have got the pedagogical impact that teachers…
One of my lessons this week required students to break down and get their heads around the summative project brief for their coursework. Historically I have found that despite completing a variety of activities to get students to engage in reading the instructions and breaking down what is required of…
This post features the live CoverItLive update and feed for TeachMeet Clevedon taking place May 3rd 2012, 1730 – 2030 UK time.
So this coming Thursday, TeachMeet Clevedon is taking place (if you hadn’t noticed! One application I’ve been looking to examine for some time is ‘CoverItLive’ – I’ve heard great things about it from the likes of @CheriseDuxbury and @JamiePortman on his great post on the app/topic here with some fab ideas. I…

It has been obvious to me for some time now that any learning that is based around use of an iPad should really not be hung on one particular app. That it is about a flow of work, be it individual, or collaborative. Yes, there are some powerful productivity apps…
This post is really an update following my recent posts about Twitter and the ideas gained through sharing my tweets with others. For a much longer write up, this post by Jon Tait inspects the experience in more detail really well here: http://www.woodham.org.uk/edutait/ The original post has had more than 1000…

Inspired by my previous post about collaboration across Twitter, Jon (@TeamTait) Tait has been busy again with a new infographic on the topic:

So it happened ‘like’ this. I followed @elearninglaura I saw on her profile she had a blog (good it is too) I saw a post on her blog about a tool for making your own infographics (Piktochart) I thought cool – @fullonlearning (who also has a superb blog) will like that and so…
Thanks to the wonderful blog of Laura Knight (@elearninglaura) http://www.elearninglaura.net/ I stumbled across the brilliant tool – PiktoChart where you can easily make your own cool infographics. The best thing is that you can create some cool infographics in the easy to use UI really easily and for free. Okay, for some…
