Mo, Jun 5, 2006My little weekend
If you want to see some sheep and some Morris dancers, then have a look at what me and the kids got up to in Church Stretton on Sunday.
Weekend in Prestatyn?
At a loose end this weekend? Fancy some seaside time? Why not quit early Friday and head to Prestatyn's Bodnant Infants' Summer Fair: "Our stalls include bathroom, toys, books, DVDs, cakes, outside games.
They have me intrigued with a bathroom stall :-)
Techo cherry
The great and very good Dr David Davies (the very first moblogger) joins a debate on my revolution idea. He's a governor at his kids' secondary school, where they're one of the 22 primaries, 5 secondaries and 3 colleges (out of 30,000) that are trying BECTA's Test Bed Project.
We argue that there are no good stats on technical literacy, confidence nor geekiness of teachers. Though, after speaking to several hundred schools thus far, I think my position that school teachers and certainly primary school teachers are chalky, not mousy is far more accurate.
My position remains, that a school blog (not a teaching blog) is a great way to engage, enthuse and motivate: staff, parents and kids. Again, mainly in primaries where there are more technical virgins than anywhere else. Once the cherry is popped and the love flowing we have wonder and possible addiction that may carry through the other software, which is mainly learnerly and duller or SISy and data collective.
Nothing else will draw in a reluctant community than the narrow gossip on a good school blog.
It's that old chestnut, markets are conversations. (I hear that learning too is conversation. But teaching/learning isn't my area of expertise.)
