Nings for Geography
I have been using Nings since August 2007, when I set up a network for my 6th form Geographers as a way of collating resources and maintaining contact between lessons.
I spoke at the Royal Geographical Society in October 2007 about their value.
While preparing for the launch of new specifications, I set up the New Edexcel Geography Ning.
This now has over 400 members and a real sense of commun… Continue

I have 24 hours to collect answers to the question:
"Why use technologies with young learners?"

Wiki uses for professional development
* as a sandbox (to experiment and play around, to learn to wiki)
* to compìle book reviews
* as a virtual office (showcasing one's work, including ways to contact the owner/contributors, possibly with a chat box embedded?)
Mind you, I'm looking for wikis used for professional development, not
with language classes.
Can you help?
Thanks in advance,
Gladys

What makes a good teacher as far as technology is concerned?
I’m interested in exploring this question, which I have phrased very carefully. I think whether you’re a teacher of information and communications technology, or someone who teaches with educational technology, there are some common denominators of what makes the teaching good. My Foray into Blog TV
I’ve been messing around with a live webcasting service called BlogTV. Last night I went live for the first time. In this post I consider some of the advantages and disadvantages of using Blog TV.Cars Maths in Motion
Like many people, I left school without too much confidence in, or liking for, mathematics. It doesn't take a psychoanalyst to work out why. When, for example, one of my fellow pupils asked what the point of trigonometry was, the answer he received consisted of:
"Are you trying to be impudent, boy?",
followed by the imposition of a detention.
Another teacher had a novel approach to teaching: if you didn't understand the stuff in the lesson, you had a 90 minute detention in which to practise with test papers until you did -- all in utter silence while the 'teacher' (I use the term loosely) did his marking.
