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…
Bring the walls of your classroom (almost literally) to life! That’s what using AR (augmented reality) can do. I’m tired of hearing about ICTAC (ICT across the curriculum) being about substitution – taking your students to an IT lab to type up a report, to write up an essay, to…
It has been recognised for some time now that using QR codes can really support learning but what can you do? Well the fact that devices often used in schools such as the iPad have a camera built in makes it super-handy for working in the classroom with QR codes,…
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…

Further to the flipped learning discussion on #ukedchat last week and Daniel Edwards‘ brilliant organic post about planning flipped learning in light of OFSTED requirements here, I thought it would be opportune to mention the O2 Learn site. This is a site which has literally hundreds of screencasts and videos…
