The App Smackdown at TeachMeet Clevedon between myself and @gavinsmart was a real blast and really enjoyed it! Lots of great apps shared in a fun way. Inspired by a similar ‘smackdown’ I had recently with Joe Dale. At the end of his post, Gavin has a video that he…
A number of people have asked me how to use the Grafio App, so I made a screencast. I hope you find it useful! Cheers!
Infographics made, easier? Well – as you know I’m a big fan of representing information beautifully. It makes what you’re trying to explain easier to understand rather than looking at a massive bank of numbers. Representing data in this way, truly is turning it in to information – something ICT…
iPad workflows are really important to learning. Student work doesn’t often happen within just the one App. We need to be able to connect the work created in one App to enable us to develop it further within another. Last night I met up with @joedale and we had a…
Being involved with students as leaders in my current role is one of the most rewarding elements to my job. I work with the students as digital leaders and I really haven’t blogged anywhere near enough about the work they do as I should do, given how much of a…
Moldiv – a free app with wins for the teacher & wins for the student I don’t write about or recommend many apps but this is a free app with wins for the teacher & wins for the student. It’s really simple to use and has got some great features….
Pinterest of interest? As a topic, Pinterest for teachers in education has been giving me some thought for some time. Having been lured to Pinterest a while ago, the more I use it the more I can see Pinterest for teachers being of use, but also Pinterest for students…
Technological, Pedagogical and Content Knowledge The Technology, Pedagogy and Content Knowledge model or TPACK for short has been around for some time. It builds upon the work of Lee Shulman and extends his idea of Pedagogical Content Knowledge. Matthew Koehler and Punya Mishra expand upon this in much more detail…
As we approach another Teachmeet at #TMClevedon I’ve been reflecting about the Teachmeet landscape around the globe now and it is great to see how they’re developing more and more. Internal teachmeets which I first heard @jamieportman talk about a few years ago now are happening at lots of schools. Specialist…
I’ve long sung the praises of using QR codes as a vehicle to support learning with these two posts being two such examples: https://ictevangelist.com/how-to-make-use-of-qr-codes-with-your-ipad-teachers-students/ …and I’m not the only person either: http://deeplearning.edublogs.org/2012/08/02/qr-codes-and-documenting-brilliant-learning/#.UZjtiLWTiSo There are lots of places online that you can use to create your own QR codes for free…
I remember when I was a teenager. I know you might think that would be a difficult thing for me to do, what with it being so long ago and all that. It actually wasn’t all that long ago though. Ok, so maybe 25 years ago is a fair amount…
Digital Citizenship is an area of massive importance and if you’re interested you should really check some of the links at the end of this post. Following JISC and looking at their work and connecting with the likes of @dughall, @simfin and @dajbelshaw among many others and @naace would be…
This is a blogpost in line with the April BlogSync project here How many people in this month’s blogsync are going to use this image in their post? Quite a few I imagine, because like in many classrooms around the country, I suspect progress looks and sounds the same. “They…
It’s not often that I write a specific post on a specific app but I am today. I’ve been using the app ‘Grafio’ for some time now. I found it because I was looking for an app that I could use to create my own infographics (a diagram that plots…
Whilst I’ll write a longer post soon about the inspiration from the day today at Berkhamsted’s “Teaching, Learning & Assessment” conference yesterday, I did say that I would put up my presentation and resources from the session. So here they are: My presentation: TLAB ’13 I also spoke about a…
Plan to add to these in coming days / weeks but feel free to share under a share and share alike creative commons.
I’ve been thinking more and more about the working habits of students. Most recently today I’ve been thinking about the way in which students submit their work to us. They can do it in a multitude of different ways, and we try to drill in good habits of presentation when students are…
With renewed faith in Wallwisher and it’s reinvigorated form ‘Padlet’ I’ve created one where I would like to curate your points of view and experiences in iPad apps for education. What I am looking for is your favourite iPad app for education and why it is useful. I suspect I’ll…
As we move forward towards a new National Curriculum, I for one am excited about the new challenges the new Computing/Computer Science/Computing Science (whatever you want to call it) curriculum will bring. It’s an opportunity to help bring some credence back to the subject which, let’s be face it,…
With the announcement of Posterous closing down at the end of April and some conversations with a few tweeps last night, I thought it would be helpful to show how you can do it. You will probably find this guide here helpful too: http://en.support.wordpress.com/import/import-from-posterous/ To view the screencast, simply watch below:…
As you may or may not be aware I’ve been writing a book. I have to say it has been and continues to be one of the most reflective things I have ever done in relation to my practice. I can highly recommend it. If you’ve enjoyed blogging, try putting…
It was a great feeling when I got the email through saying that my proposal to BETT had been accepted for us to talk about Digital Leaders at BETT this year. I was hopeful we’d get a slot, but wasn’t sure. As soon as I found out we’d been accepted,…
? I’m writing this as an addendum to my original post from June 2011 following my 2nd Teachmeet, having now organised and been involved with a lot more since. I’m updating this post following reading the synopsis of what is required for a teachmeet that Ross McGill has placed on…
