For a while now, the paradigm of ‘flipping’ the classroom and reversing the way teachers and lecturers traditionally approach developing students knowledge has been gaining quite a lot of credence

This is just a quick update to say that I have now uploaded all 12 of the tasks to teach yourself to use technology with your students on the Issuu platform.

Hi All

Please find here the first ten tasks in a series of Teach Yourself to Teach with Tech tasks that I'm writing.

The word PLN seems to have become very popular recently, so I thought we could have a look at what it is and how it works.

What's a PLN?

At the end of 2010 I published the first 5 tasks in a series to help teacher learn how to use technology with their students. Now I would like to add 3 more tasks to that collection. The first few tasks are all quite simple to lay the ground work and get teachers started. As the series progresses I hope to get on to more adventurous tasks. Please feel free to use these tasks yourself or to share or use them for teacher training.

With the holiday season coming for many of us, we can actually find some time to concentrate on developing our own skills, so that's what I have been doing.

I’ve found that in class most students enjoy lessons based around songs or music.

Over the last few weeks I have been busy delivering training presentations and workshops to help teachers use various free web based tools in their teaching.

Well it's been quite a while since I last posted to my blog here, but I have been keeping very busy, mainly looking at new web based tools that we can use with our students and new ways we can use them, or sometimes old ways that work well too. I decided to put information about a few of these tools together and publish them in a free manual.
