This sketch from the always excellent Gaping Void got me thinking, are there some teachers you shouldn’t bother pushing even the best technology at?

Slumdog Pythagoras – Minimally Invasive Education
Inspired by Sugata Mitra at the SSAT National Conference I decided to try and ape his ‘minimally invasive education‘ within my own Maths classroom. In a really tough December week this two hours shone out as a great teaching and learning experience. Before going any further, please head over to my previous post to read about the inspiration…

#LWF11 – Lord David Puttnam of Queensgate
Lord David Puttnam, man of many hats, but perhaps pertinently Chairman of Futurelab: Joked that Stephen Heppel and he had have achieved so little in the last 20 years! Not yet a state where what’s best for the child is also what’s best for the child. Left film industry as it had ceased to be inspirational…

Facebook: Hard-Hitting Safety & Privacy Assembly
I’ve been giving an assembly to every House in our school this week, with a focus on Safety & Privacy in Facebook. It’s gone down incredibly well with staff and more importantly students, so I figured it worth sharing. I’ve hit on some top tips to get pupils to listen on a subject that it’s…
When I think about the schools I have taught in and especially my current school there are teachers that don’t respond as fervently as others towards technologies being brought into the classroom. Whether those tools are being used to gain a pupil’s interest, enhance our teaching or promote learning some teachers just prefer to stick with what they know that works, even if it might only be the blackboard and a stick of chalk.
Pushing technology into classrooms to benefit teaching and learning will only result in some people drawing back through nonchalance or skepticism. Those of us who are interested in it need also to show that it works , that it is effective and that it can help to raise standards.
I guess it’s the same as any ‘different’ way of teaching, if you can’t show that it works in your own teaching, you’re not going to get far!
