  1. Safeguarding Digital Course Evidence with ‘Dropbox’
    → CDTlog | Fri Sep 03 00:02:25 +0100 2010

    On average, at least two pupils a year, studying Advanced Higher Graphics here at The Royal High School, lose significant amounts of course work because it hasn’t been backed up somewhere. This year, I’ll be encouraging pupils to use http://dropbox.com.  Dropbox provides 2 GB of free storage on its servers (and up to 100 GB, for [...]

  2. Primary 4/5 Viking Maths
    → Ednam Primary School | Thu Sep 02 21:01:29 +0100 2010

    Primary 4/5 have started work on their topic, the Vikings.? They discovered that they knew a little bit about the Vikings, but not much, so are now doing some research.

    One of the things that they discovered was that a Viking Longship was about 30 metres long and about 6 metres wide.? They decided to see how big their ship really was, and went out into the playground with trundle wheels and chalk.

    First of all everyone tried to estimate how long 30 metres was on the playground.? Each person marked where they thought it was with their name.? Then they measured how long their guess was., using the trundle wheel.? They discovered that all the estimates were around 20 metres to 27 metres.

    Next the exact length of the Longship was marked out on the ground, then everyone estimated the width of six metres.? After measuring it, Kyle was exactly right, with a few others very close.

    The class next formed a line down the side of the ship, and they drew the shape of the ship on the ground.? When the outline of the ship was drawn, everyone got their chairs and set them out in pairs like Vikings seated and rowing their ship.? There were only 15 in class and using this number and the space available on the ship, they then estimated that about 70 Vikings might have travelled in the great Longships.

  4. Blogshelf: the RSS Reader for the iPad
    → John Connell: the blog | Thu Sep 02 19:34:42 +0100 2010

    My RSS Reader of choice on the Mac has been Netvibes for a number of years. I prefer its ‘widgets view’ to the standard ‘reader view’ used by, for instance, Google Reader (although Netvibes does offer the reader view as an alternative for those who prefer it). Netvibes via Safari on the iPad disappointed me, [...]

    One of the most important areas of teacher development must surely be working out how to save time, create more time, drop some of the less meaningful activity in our days to create more, higher energy time to engage with students or improve our own professional learning? 9 times out of 10 the main barrier to teachers doing what they...
