Personal learning network fatigue
One complaint I’ve always had about the edupunk and connected learning movements is how much darn work they require, which seems bound to leave a lot of people out or behind. Fundamentally, these successes aren’t shareable (go ahead, try and share your personal learning network with me), and so resist the kind of remixable refinement and elaboration that seems to be the engine of the age.…
Administrators and Counsellors Partnering in Educational Leadership … Idea Inspired by ETMOOC

I will focus on what I learned so far, why I think I learned and how I think my learning could improve further.…

Once again George reflected on many amazing examples of how being connected to students, families and staff has improved their experiences all round.…
Magic 8 ball
To me Twitter is a little like a Magic 8 ball….I watch what it advises and act on it! It can point me to useful personal connections, interesting and often cutting edge articles, and even what to watch on the TV!…
Flip Cameras
This week we had a twilight session focussing on progress over time. One part of the session was dedicated to flip cameras, as school have just purchased some and will be distributing some of them to each department. We had a quick chat and came up with the following ideas between us:
- Debating (e.g.
