but you must have something worth sharing. :-) #ukedchat

LearningSpy 20:01

#ukedchat I'll kick off - I started English GCSE course with a schme

focussing on PLTS, mindsets and dispositions. It was fantastic

#ukedchat then subsequently I read some stuff going on in primary

schools around critical skills which they call 'loops of learning'

dughall 20:05

@chrisleach78 I love the sound of that, Chris. What do you think

made it successful? #ukedchat

john_at_muuua 20:06What I learnt this year: #ukedchat has taught me that primaryteachers are much more sharing than secondary! (me)

of it all though

CliveSir 20:06 @MrsPrentice11 #ukedchat topic: reviewing the academic year.

CreativeEdu 20:06This year I've learnt what a huge amount you can learn from youPLN! #ukedchat

chrisleach78 20:06

@dughall kids were given what they thought were genuine bands,

so designed for client. Publishing on blog gave them real audience

Meeting and sharing new ideas and resources in Twitter has helped

me grow immensely in my career #ukedchat

misshbond 20:06

I've learnt that parents love having chn email them from a class

account and chn love sharing what they've learnt. Both sides win

better for CPD than I could ever have imagined. #ukedchat

#ukedchat Something I've found tricky is getting some people to

take responsibility for their own ICT/use of tech. It's been slow

process

gsussex 20:08

#ukedchat a minus, when people assure you they are doing

something they may not be . . . Evidence is always the safest route

MrsPrentice11 20:08

the blog for my English set, gave them huge confidence in their

writing & great research for my MA #ukedchat

dughall 20:08 @Natty08 Compared to what? Infants? Or Secondary? #ukedchat

Met some fantastic teachers on twitter who are inspiring and share

ideas resources. #ukedchat

john_at_muuua 20:08

the 'controlled assessment' idea is a farce. It works only in that it

means that teachers have little say #ukedchat


I have learnt the most important word out there and that is SHARE

we must make it more practical oriented like letting Ss to venture

@LearningSpy Link? Re Genius hours. Do staff feed back? Share the

learning? Blog about their learning? #ukedchat


#ukedchat Whole school blogging; school on Twitter; literacy &

numeracy separated into skills & application; more trips and

visitors!
