Thu, 21 Oct 2010 21:30:53 -0700 Storyjumper http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/10/21/storyjumper http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/10/21/storyjumper Spent the day using Storyjumper as part of our RE Day. Retelling the story of  'How Sikhism Began'. The kids were using it for the first time, but soon found it easy to use. I was amazed by their ingenuity to create some excellent scenes.

Wed, 05 May 2010 14:58:42 -0700 Robin Hood Primary School http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/05/05/robin-hood-primary-school http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/05/05/robin-hood-primary-school Yesterday I had the great privilege of visiting RHPS in Birmingham - a very impressive place. The use of technology to enhance learning was completely embedded everywhere, and an excellent funding stream allowed the school to be at the cutting edge. Have a look at their website . I took away so many exciting ideas I intend to build into my teaching. Many of which I will add to this blog when I have thought about them a bit more.

Wed, 05 May 2010 14:43:43 -0700 School News quiz http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/05/05/school-news-quiz http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/05/05/school-news-quiz I find it incredibly disappointing that in a school with a reputation for using ICT effectively I can't inspire pupils to contribute to a news quiz.  Numbers reading and posting replies to the quiz have been dwindling recently, to the extent that nobody replied this week at all. I suppose that if I stop adding a question a week  I can start looking for more effective ways to engage pupils in using technology to further their learning. Rant over.

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 08:23:36 -0700 Auditorium http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/04/30/auditorium http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/04/30/auditorium I am not much of a computer games player, but this is by far my favourite. A fantastic piece of work called Auditorium. It is also available on the ipod and iphone as a free app. If you want to go further with it there is a small cost, but it is such a beautiful thing.

Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:06:09 -0700 Wordle http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/04/28/wordle http://udl54k.posterous.com/2010/04/28/wordle I love using Wordle. It makes pretty images with words. I first learnt about it when the BBC created a Wordle of Barack Obama's inaugural speech. It is an excellent tool for starting a topic or point of discussion. Kids love playing with it.  Give it a go.

It looks great fun and a useful learning tool. I have added a link to the Year 7 homepage in the hope our yr7s will add to it what they have learnt about Medieval England.

There's a lot of great stuff on his website, including lots of stuff about Howard Gardner's theories on Multiple Intelligence.
