Monday 9th March - Colin, Ben, Anthony

We met and decided that if we meet next week briefly on Monday 16th, then aim to collect all of our reviews which point towards Project Based Learning for the following Monday, 23rd March. This would allow us to collect information on this site by the following week, 30th March. We could invite along MAMI and others. We could also include suggestions for ways forward...Action research, Year Group Short Term Projects...

Bangkok Teachers' Network

Had a very thought provoking session today with Kathleen Baertschy from Concordia and came up with these ideas and questions:

• Importance of making memories
• make time for stories
• make connections
• As a learner, I like to know where I'm going
• Actively participating helps me to learn
• There is a crack in Everything, That's how light gets in (Leonard Cohen, Anthem)
• It's not your experience which is important, it is what you do with it.
• Teachers and children have to develop trust and you can do this through telling stories, including about yourself
  

Whiteboard

Stumbled onto this site via twitter and tweetdeck. Has lots of features which I didn't know about, some seem obvious after you have read them, like writing over text using white pen and then erasing when using the slide in class (tip 9).

This site also has some great primary whiteboard games and links.

Why should BPS try to use enquiry based learning?
