Conspicuous work: do we compound the workload issue ourselves? July 30, 2015. Assistant to the general manager! Do you know what that means? He could be asking my advice on trades. Trades, Jerry! I’m a heart beat away! That’s a hell of an organisation they are running up there. I can’t understand why they haven’t won a pennant in 15 years. Between the two of them, they think I’m working an 18-hour day! Locking your keys in the car is the best career move you ever made. Seinfeld ‘The Caddy’. Seeing quite ...

Are these the best English subject textbooks you’ve ever seen? July 26, 2015. Textbooks have been in the news this past academic year. We’ve been told by Nick Gibb. To shed our “anti-textbook ethos”, whilst U.S. education advisor Richard Culatta has said. That British schools should scrap textbooks because they “are outdated, they are in a format that it’s not adaptable, and for students learning in other languages, they can’t press the word and get a definition.”. As well as David James. 8216; book (tar...

Knowledge is obsolete! Unburden yourself here… | Othmar's Trombone
https://othmarstrombone.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/knowledge-is-obsolete-unburden-yourself-here
Unburden yourself here…. June 13, 2015. I have been following the tweets. With interest. As always with education conferences, there are some really smart ideas tossed out and hashtagged for posterity. But every now and again one of these edu-summits spews out a thought that is a real game changer. I think this may be that very thought:. Knowledge is becoming obsolete. With @Alastair Arnott. 10;
Knowing how over knowing what! Mdash; Rachel Orr (@RachelOrr) June 13, 2015. Knowledge is becoming obsolete.

Activities: the devil will find work for idle hands to do | Othmar's Trombone

Activities: the devil will find work for idle hands to do. June 25, 2015. Some years ago, when I was still held firmly within the gravitational pull of my initial teacher training, I wrote a blog about. So praxis for Wilson was. He did things that he wanted to, and then he decided on the reasons for doing them afterwards. Some time after I wrote about praxis, I read (and rather enjoyed) Phil Beadle’s book. 8216;Dancing About Architecture’. Like Tony Wilson, Beadle advocated this post-rationalisation:.

You Can Do Anything! | Othmar's Trombone
https://othmarstrombone.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/you-can-do-anything
You Can Do Anything! June 7, 2015. I’ve just read this article. On TES, entitled ‘Why education needs more fuzzy thinking’. In the article, Ewan McIntosh proposes a “fuzzy world” of education where there are “activities that help students to learn for themselves, synthesise complex information, generate large numbers of ambitious ideas and build prototypes”. It is also an education where there is “almost no content”. How does he think historians think like historians? You can do anything! June 7, 2015 at...

JT Airlines – We’re a Great Way to Fall. August 13, 2015. Today is the day that successful people will tell you that they failed their A-levels and that, in spite of this, they have still become successful people. If your A level results arent great, be cheered by the fact that I got a C and two Us. And Im currently sitting in a villa in St Tropez. Mdash; Jeremy Clarkson (@JeremyClarkson) August 13, 2015.

June 28, 2015. 8220;So, you’re wanting to be a London cabbie, then? Hope you’re prepared to put in all the hard work it takes to do the job? 8221; asked the slightly gruff, porcine man. 8220;Er, yes. I’ve just got the Blue Book, and I’ve started trying to learn the roads and runs and that…” replied the enthusiastic young man. Oh, yeh, you won’t be needing that. The Blue Book, I mean. We don’t really use that anymore for studying to be a cabbie.”. But it’s got all the runs and routes in it? 8220;Okay....

The Final Comedown: Nothing prepares me for the end of term. July 23, 2015. I’ve looted and I’ve begged. On the tubes of the Bec and Broadway. I’ve been run over by cars. And to prove it here’s the scars. I’ve been cut. I’ve been stitched. I’ve been buggered, bewitched and abandoned. But nothing in Heaven or Earth. Prepared me for this. It’s a victory worth sharing. We should celebrate I think. With the bloodiest of Marys. But I’m too * * ed to drink. But why do I need solace? A break. I couldn’...
