The Web 2.0 Optimist: September 2012
http://web2optimist.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
The Web 2.0 Optimist. Sunday, September 16, 2012. Upskilling, workloads and trolls. Despite all the good intentions in my last post I've not updated this blog since the end of February. Other things have continually taken priority in what has been the busiest period in my teaching career. However today I am so incensed that the exam data analysis and the creation of GCSE Computing resources have been put on one side while I get a few things off my chest. This year we had already decided to start teaching...

The Web 2.0 Optimist: January 2012
http://web2optimist.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Web 2.0 Optimist. Saturday, January 7, 2012. New Year, New Enthusiasm. Reading back through the majority of my posts last year you could be forgiven for wondering why I've called this blog The Web 2.0 Optimist. With strikes, gripes and despair over ICT qualifications I've sounded anything but optimistic. The ever present shadow of OFSTED which is a fact of life when you work in a school under notice to improve doesn't give you must incentive for enthusiasm and optimistic thinking. After mentioning Cl...

http://web2optimist.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
The Web 2.0 Optimist. Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Once again I started by mapping out the different topics. There were six, each lasting approximately a term:-. Web-sleuth ( research/ reliability / bias ). Rafi-ki - online communication. Presenting info - tied in with producing a leaflet for Bristol zoo which the students had visited that term. Impact of IT - social media / digital divide. Web creation - google apps / research project. This mapped out as follows:-. And also this one from the same source:-.

The Web 2.0 Optimist: June 2011
http://web2optimist.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
The Web 2.0 Optimist. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. I usually use this blog to reflect on my teaching practice and document my progress as I strive to become a better teacher. However tonight on the eve of tomorrow's strike I feel I need to explain why I feel so strongly about the issues involved that I am striking for only the second time in my life. In general though the usual agreement in the private sector is larger salaries but lower pensions. In contrast the public sector generally offers lower salarie...

The Web 2.0 Optimist: Reviewing Year 7
http://web2optimist.blogspot.com/2011/08/reviewing-year-7.html
The Web 2.0 Optimist. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. This is my SOW for year 7 (changing quite a bit at the moment). I started by reviewing the current year 7 SOW for ICT. The SOW had been written piecemeal last year and I needed to have a look at the big picture and see what had worked / not worked and where the gaps were. I had 6 topics which were broadly a half term each:-. Getting Started - logging on, networks, e-safety, presenting info e.g. e-safety poster, Wordle, editing images. I feel the strongest e...
