Tefltecher Interlude
As I seem to be looking at a rather grueling next couple of months, I have decided to take a brief interlude from blogging. In the timeless tradition of Fred(a) (Blue Peter’s trans-gender tortoise) and providing there are sufficient air-holes in my cardboard box, I should be coming out of hibernation sometime in the spring.

Think, Thank, Thunk!

You can’t be my teacher! After watching this video … … these were my reactions. My first reaction What a cheeky little boy! I’m not sure I would want this child in my class. I’m 45 years of age. Why am I being shouted at by a nine-year old? My second reaction “That’s your job! […]
Don’t Fear the Reaper!
February 15, 2010
Edtech Death : Don’t Fear the Reaper! I was a 14 year-old skateboarding punk when I saw one for the first time. I think it was a Thursday morning in the late 70’s and my monthly copy of Skateboard magazine had just dropped onto the doormat. On the front cover was written the grim slogan […]
