The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Tuesday, October 27, 2009. In the process of moving! I've decided it's time for a change with the blog and have started the process of moving over to wordpress, the change will be happening in the next few weeks. I will be attending this tomorrow so here's hoping for a good day to travel (This time last year I had to get to Dingwall for an Internet Safety course and went of the road in the snow!

AndyMcSwan.com: 1 Year Gone
http://andymc001.blogspot.com/2009/06/1-year-gone.html
The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Tuesday, June 09, 2009. This is a quick blog post in an effort to get me blogging again. I'm starting a project with the S1 pupils to do some video editing and so they've chosen some songs they'd like to make videos from and it's quite interesting what they've chosen. For those of you with Spotify you can check out the list here:. Http:/ open.spotify.com/user/ghscomp/playlist/0iK4S9AYqK2j8TXAzEETSe.

The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Thursday, October 23, 2008. I hadn't planned on making a post during the holidays but as it seems I'm having a quiet day in watching cartoons with my cousin (so far Over the Hedge, Cars and Ice Age 2) I've been able to do some reading from the BBC website. They've posted a news article called Girls geek out over dinner. It got me thinking about an after-school program called. Posted by Andy McSwan. The Hero of Ti...

AndyMcSwan.com: ICT in my classroom
http://andymc001.blogspot.com/2009/01/ict-in-my-classroom.html
The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Monday, January 19, 2009. ICT in my classroom. I started this weekend in a strange way, I didn't bolt down the A9, didn't turn on the TV or games console but instead I participated in the flash meet and watched Teachmeet09 @BETT and since then my head has been spinning. I am where possible going to use this to enable my pupils to work and discuss topics that have come up during lessons in and out of the classroom.

The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Thursday, September 11, 2008. Well it's proving to be a bit difficult to catch a breath up here, so many things going on and I'm still getting used to the new way of working but so far I'm really enjoying working in the school. I'm slowly but surely getting the department all sorted out and am certainly enjoying working with the smaller classes at standard grade level. Computer Games of course. Posted by Mr McSwan.

AndyMcSwan.com: End of term fun
http://andymc001.blogspot.com/2008/12/end-of-term-fun.html
The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Wednesday, December 17, 2008. End of term fun. Well it's nearing the end of another year and term, August doesn't seem so long ago. First thing in the morning The Wii and projector was set up in the school's main hall for the first session before moving up to the HE room. We had 48 pupils take part during the course of the day but the best response came from the first and second years. Posted by Andy McSwan.

http://andymc001.blogspot.com/2009/02/teachmeetxi.html
The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. I attended my first Teachmeet (in person) on Friday night and I also gave a 2 minute nano presentation looking at my classroom cool wall which seems to have been well recieved. I'm now trying to figure out what to send the rest of my department budget on, Scratch boards are an option as well as Flip Minos. Anyone got any advice? Posted by Andy McSwan. Was great to see you Andy! I think...

The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Thursday, September 18, 2008. Desks of the future. One of the biggest tasks I've had since I started in the new school was getting the computers in the department up to speed. At the moment I have a very big mix of Mac computers. From the old colourful iMacs (Tray loading and slot loading) to the newer eMacs and I have been slowly getting them upgarded to OSX but when I saw this article. Posted by Mr McSwan.

http://andymc001.blogspot.com/2008/10/back-online.html
The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Tuesday, October 07, 2008. It's so nice to be able to type this from the comfort of my own room. You see I've been without my own internet access for the last 4 months and so now courtesy of BT I have uber fast broadband, one of the benefits of being 0 miles from the exchange! These may not seem linked together however in order for the pupils to use many of the resources on the internet such as comicbrush. This s...

AndyMcSwan.com: ICT Cool Wall
http://andymc001.blogspot.com/2009/01/ict-cool-wall.html
The best is yet to come - An account of the life of a (now not so.) Newly Qualified Teacher. Thursday, January 29, 2009. I thought I would post a picture of the Cool Wall as it stands, I will post a list of all items that are on the wall soon. Unfortunately I've been off sick most of this week, got quite a few websites to play about with next week. At the start of the year I let the S1 play with vokies. Hopefully this one will work Faceyourmanga. Posted by Andy McSwan. Whats in the DB9 fridge then?
