Transformation Teachers Programme

OkeyCokey,

I have to admit I have been lazy as you like with this blogging malarky, mainly because 

1. am not in the habit (is this an excuse?)

2. Don’t really feel I have that much to impart

3. am waiting till I ave something amazing to report – but that could take years!

So I have decided to throw caution to the wind and get in with it! So here I am. I have been using my mac more this term and have even managed to get the IT department to connect it to my projector which is most exciting. As a result I have started to make some resources – my first attempt at using crazy talk was last week which was ok…. kids found it ‘hilarious’ , ‘creepy’, ‘weird’ and ‘real’ ….. am having trouble though – how can I save it as a file other than a crazytalk file. It would be good to be able to save it to my memory pen as a file which is compatible with other computers in the school, which do not have crazy talk installed – is this possible?

I have also started using openmind with my 6th form – which has gone down well, as apparently it doesn’t feel as though they are doing work! which lets face it is always a winner! The comiclife sheets have also been a winner with the 6th form – livens up taking notes from the book and I have also used it with my SEN/EAL students…….. will keep you posted on how it all goes.

And excitingly I am doing a podcast project with my year9s in a couple of weeks about their migration histories – which should be interesting  – so i will keep you posted……

Here is one of the crazytalk videos – I hope it works!

old womanI will also put the comiclife stuff I have done on my blog too……

tata for now,

Amy
