Teaching tips in 30 seconds

January 1, 2011 in learning, lesson ideas, Resources in the classroom, thoughts, tools

I’ve set up a new Posterous blog today, ‘In 30 Seconds’ which I will use to post a 30 second video tip for teachers every day for the next 365 days. It’s my #365 project and one which I not only intend to use to aid and help other teachers but also as a method of reflection of my own teaching and the learning that happens in my classroom.
It should be great fun to do and I am really looking forward to it growing. By the end of 2011 it should contain just over 3 hours of 30 second teaching tips. If you have any ideas for tips or things that you think I could film as part of the 30 second video then let me know in the comments.

You can follow the tips by visiting ‘In 30 seconds‘.

Something for Christmas #movemeon e-book

December 21, 2009 in learning, lesson ideas, Resources in the classroom, thoughts

Back on the 19th November Doug Belshaw (who has many brilliant ideas) had a particularly brilliant idea -

I’d like to propose a new hashtag to help new and existing teachers share and pick up tips.

Using the #movemeon hashtag so that the posts could be collected on Twitter, the idea took off and hundreds of posts were made and gathered together. Doug and Stuart Ridout put the tweets together into an e-book which is available for download (free) from here. But if, like me, you are keen to have in your possession a book of suggestions to help you in teaching, a book that is filled with inspiration and creativity, a book of helpful hints and practical guides then you would prefer a physical copy to put in the staff room and encourage even more teachers to join in the discussion.
