As you’ll know, I’m no stranger to Teachmeets but the one I attended last night in Oxford, organised by the dapper Amjad Ali had the ingredients of a really special learning & sharing experience. It was honest, fun, reflective, full of sharing, laughter and learning. I’ll say it here –…
Social media in education has the power to transform all manner of aspects of school life. How students learn, how parents interact with the school, how teachers can develop their CPD, can all be transformed through social media. Today’s BettChat focused on this very topic. The discussion was wide and varied…
I was put on to a great resource for practicing binary conversions today which I had to share – it works on a kind of Tetris game basis. See how you get on. It’s great fun! Check it out by clicking here. Cheers!
1. No two days, classes, students, are the same. It goes in many ways to what Coe said in his recent report: “Ultimately, the definition of effective teaching is that which results in the best possible student outcomes.

I am extremely excited to have been nominated for the UK Blog Awards 2015. I have been nominated for Education blog of the year! Thank you to the people who nominated me for this. It is exceedingly humbling. I have always seen this space as a place to offer help…
