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

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!

sharing ideas/resources with colleagues, you don't deserve to be

called an educator!
