Italy Update
I’ve updated a few things on the previously moribund Italy page. I’m going to be adding things as I teach them this year. There’s also a podcast (almost all written – I’m 10 years off unification!) and class website at … Continue reading

ICT with the interns at OUDE
This session on homework and ICT is going to start us thinking about how we can get around restrictions on the use of ICT in schools (mainly a shortage of available computer suites for history classes) and still enable our … Continue reading
Pencast!
This is really a sort of proof of concept. We do a lot of revision sessions, and I wanted to see if we could ask one teacher in particular to use a livescribe pen to do a pencast of one … Continue reading
The 'e-baldie' roadshow continues…
Tomorrow I’m speaking to Learning Plus conference at Easthampstead Park Conference Centre, Entitled “Working Towards Success at 16-19 and Beyond”, and as always my schtick will be ‘ICT for Learning’. I’ll be using the attached powerpoint, but also the online … Continue reading

Films for Learning
About 5 years ago I was working with a friend, Dan Raven-Ellison, on using video in the classroom using mobile phones. The whole thing was quite hard really, and if I’m honest, we didn’t really get our heads around how … Continue reading
Warwick PGCIE finished!
Been a bit busy lately. So, I got an extension from lovely people who run the Warwick PGCIE for my second assignemnt. In the end I had to take my laptop and printer on holiday with me to Guernsey, but I got it done (thanks to the patience and hard work of Sarah and my parents-in-law).

Seek and you shall find.
So. I’m increasingly thinking about search. Search (as in using google, yahoo etc) is increasingly what students do when asked to do homework. I’m having small victories. I’ve been asking my students to do several things recently when doing project based activities (partially because I’ve had to leave so many classes to cover because of my new role in school as temporary HOD for ICT).
