Janshs blog: been posting on mainly school ideas
http://h809-jm.blogspot.com/2009/07/been-posting-on-mainly-school-ideas.html
Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Been posting on mainly school ideas. Last two posts have been on the related blog 'mainly school ideas'. About using wikis in class and also different and manageable formative assessment of students. I guess both might be of interest to other levels of education. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I think I may have just reached this point: Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Neal Donald Walsch. These are my personal views. A celebration speech by Sir John Rowling.

Janshs blog: Thinking out loud
http://h809-jm.blogspot.com/2011/10/thinking-out-loud.html
Friday, October 21, 2011. As usual, something sparks my day dreaming about education and here we go again. This time it was Steve Joyce on Undercover Boss USA. Well I work in an organisation of only about 1000 or so people and everyone knows me so I could not go 'undercover' but I wonder how I would fare as any one of the following (even for an hour let alone a day):. Or even . a classroom teacher with a full teaching load! Makes you think doesn't it? Do they know they are valued? Food for thought again .

Janshs blog: never thought of this before
http://h809-jm.blogspot.com/2012/02/never-thought-of-this-before.html
Monday, February 20, 2012. Never thought of this before. A little idea prompted by #mathchat on Twitter (thanks #mathchatters); I'm not sure it's what any of them meant but it gave me a thought . I often start a new topic by asking students to do spider diagram (concept map) of what they already know about it We share these together and add to them and then refer back to them during the topic and often at the 'end', perhaps before an assessment activity. Has anyone else done this sort of thing? Surprises...

Friday, October 28, 2011. I recently went to a workshop on sustainable leadership run by Prof Brent Davies. I hope he will not mind my brief bit of thinking out loud which came out of my personal reflection following that day. I begin with a couple of points made by Prof Davies on the day, the following numbered points are my 'version'. Please remember that I have used his ideas here but have not necessarily repeated verbatim. Some key ideas for moving from Good to Outstanding ……. 1 Identify where interv...

Janshs blog: November 2011

Monday, November 14, 2011. Replacing my road signs with flowers. I then went to day one of a two day conference/CPD on leadership challenges in schools (based largely on state maintained UK schools) facilitated by Prof John West-Burnham (JWB) (day 2 in January 2012). One thing I learned was that there is a road in London where they took away all the road signs and reduced traffic jams and other incidents. I wonder how that contrasts (or otherwise) with the 'no excuses' approach? About management and lead...

Well, I never...: Autumn walks
http://abgreenteacher.blogspot.com/2012/11/autumn-walks.html
Well, I never. Wednesday, 21 November 2012. Walking pole in hand. Clump of boots and tick of stick. Striding out along the path. Buzzards wheeling above the trees. Rooks cawing in protest. Along the footpath,. The mud reveals the. Night time visitors to this field. Deer, badger and fox. Trod where I now tread. Golden leaves hang and shake. As gold coins on a dancing belt. Here, I see the fieldfares. Feasting on nature's berry bounty,. Hips, haws, blackberry and rowan,. Trip, trap over the bridge.

Well, I never. Sunday, 27 May 2012. Stone wall with Lichen. I finished a piece of mixed media textile art today. As this is a mouthful, I am going to call my works Teeny Tiny Textile Art. This piece started from this macro picture:. Detail of felting and beads. Further detail of stitching. This piece has taken quite a long time to finish as it has quite a few elements in it. It has been a satisfying experience however. I would really appreciate some comments on this piece. Sunday, May 27, 2012. Diamonds ...

Well, I never. Monday, 9 January 2012. 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups Week #26. This week we have 105 words and must include all these words:. Aghast Aquamarine Aeroplane Acted After. At the sight of the tiny aeroplane. Tumbling like a falling toy, towards the aquamarine. Fast, running to the telephone, and alerting the authorities. The shock had receded, she reflected on the chances of those on board the aircraft. Monday, January 09, 2012. Saturday, 7 January 2012. Had my first Ever massage today.
