My blog has taken a bit of a back-burner recently as I’ve been writing so much on Staffrm. I managed to write more than 29 blogs during the #29daysofwriting challenge. Whilst not my original idea, I brought it back up again on Staffrm and I was so pleased to see…
It always amazes me the impact that blogging has. I met someone today, @ComptonAndy, at the Apple RTC conference near Birmingham. He said something to me along the lines of… “are you Mark Anderson of Twitter fame?” Crazy. But is it? I’m always bowled over by the positive comments from…
I worry for a number of reasons. Why I worry Teachers blog and don’t think about their audience and say things that show poor judgement. Teachers blog and use images that aren’t licensed for reuse and think it’s ok because they’ve used ‘Google Images’. Teachers blog and use images which aren’t…
Friday 17 April 2015 saw the UK Blog Awards take place in Marble Arch, London. It was a plush affair from all accounts. I wasn’t able to make it as I was working in Istanbul at the #EdtechIST conference. The process to making it through to the finals was quite…

These types of blogs are great and help move thinking forward on lots of different levels. Don’t be phased though. Most of us have started our blogging…
You might have got a handle on the advantages of blogging in your classroom, and the many pros of giving your students a public audience for their work, however have you considered adding V-blogging to your armoury of tools to engage your class? A relatively new Video-blogging (V-blog) app that…
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…
