We, Sep 6, 2006Just one college?
Students given free MP3 players: "A college is to hand out free iPods to 250 of its students so they can listen to missed lectures."
Wish it was all colleges. All schools. All primaries. All lectures. All lessons.
25 years ago I may have got a better A' level maths grade :-(
Too much

Maybe I'm going too far :-) That's the trouble with a good joke—you can take it too far.
Writing for different audiences
Perfect! 
I've been wondering how to illustrate my Scheme of Work: Writing for Different Audiences. It's so dull and dry to look at, at the moment.
These Paris rip offs will be just the job. They give the right sort of feel for the revolution that happens when teachers and children can use the web to their advantage.
Hand crafted, immediate, non-computery.
And of course, revolutionary.

Revolution in the classroom
Maybe 
I'm changing history, but I hope it gets the message across.
The revolution is here and is coming, to you. Like it or not.
I love these powerful Paris 1968 posters.

Televising the revolution
John up in Sandaig Primary, somewhere in Scotland, is surprised 
by the apathy and disinterest some teachers have in blogging and using computers in teaching. Can't say I blame him. I meet so many Heads and teachers who've only just started to use a computer to buy from eBay, to check the news. Getting kids into the ICT is just too much hassle, it's nerves and too much effort that stops them. Just as Gordon's Ramblings says they leave the screen saver churning at the back of the room. All that power, fun and 21st century laying to waste.
My view is push what you can push. Yourself and yours. Look after your own. Do not stop. Get support off other geeky teachers.
Forget the luddites. They are the enemy:

YouTube for teachers?
Ideas and Thoughts has added a K12 (primary) group to youTube, as a way of collecting videos for primary teachers. Not a lot there at the moment, just 4 videos, but it's some where to look from time to time.

It's a shame there's no RSS feed for this from youTube. I'd expect this to change soon.
