A learning journey with no fixed abode
It’s amazing what you pick up while your wondering from School to school. 
Here is a link to a useful Interactive, educational games area …. If that’s your thing!
Here’s another from the BBC. … They both may be oldies, but their goodies!
Here’s my Del.icio.us links, worth looking through too, perhaps.
How much more motivating for students to be enabled through the use of the IWB to take a lead role in directing class discussion on a text. Not only does the use of technology motivate the student body as a whole but the fact that a student is leading the discussion, asking the questions, noting the comments- not crusty old me! That’s equally motivating. Students sharing their learning and opinions openly and freely. YES!
I was privileged enough today to observe a music session with some Intermediate students. I call it a ‘session’ because it felt more like a session than a lesson, with students recording tracks, dubbing, mixing, jamming and rehearsing and not necessarily in this order.
The end product apparently is still 2 weeks away. They will be recording their own version of ‘Hotel California’ or some such.
The teacher was clearly a talented musician, but then so were many in his class- Vocalists, bass players, guitars, drums to name a few.
I can’t believe he handpicked his class and pulled out all the ‘budding musicians’ from the year group. This is much more a powerful demonstration of the passion of a teacher impacting on and inspiring his students.
