We have suggested that, as well as the bubble comments, a Mark Form is used (part of the Rubric function) to fill in feedback associated with particular criteria. So far it has been used to mark students’…[Read more]

It seems to me, also, that children are learning in order to be able to pass A-levels. I used to think that this was an awful approach but by watching my daughter who currently repeats exam papers over and over in prep for her A-level e…[Read more]

Technology should not be the primary driver of educational activity; it should support it.

It’s been a busy week and I am still wading through posts to collect those gems of information and experiences.
New experiences – So far I have tried WordPress (obviously – duh), Scoop.it, Twitter (but my phone isn’t allowing me to log in only by PC – kind of defeats the object somehow!), Google + – again failed to find a forum here – is there one? I’ll pass on Minecraft in case I get as addicted as my 14 year old son and there’s no cure yet. There’s still time for experimentation.

I did ‘scoop’ the whole oCTEL site into my Scoop.it but it would be better to be able to focus on specific threads which I want to keep. One thing to consider if we are keeping these for reference later – what happens if the scooped site disappears? Presumably all is lost unless you have copied the text…[Read more]

Not sure how you collect selected posts though as I have only used this to collect web pages so far. If you find out let me know!
