Classroom 2.0 08/15/2016

  • The question of what learning matters most to our students is one that I return to regularly. A fascinating range of models are available each with similar elements but presented in a slightly different manner. Most could be summarised by the ‘Four C’s’ model outlined in ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ by Tony Wagner and Ted Dintersmith. Critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity are vital and each plays an important role in allowing us to manage the complexity of modern day life. Beyond being relevant to success in the classroom the Four C’s are the foundations of life-long learning but I question if alone they are enough. I believe we must include a fifth; compassion.

  • "In an ever demanding world the need to balance school and home life has never been greater. Recently I explored and shared with staff the 80/20 principle."

  • "A fun site for learning html/CSS coding which uses emojis to help learners remember the syntax. You can run the code within the site to test it and you can switch between emoji and text based code at the click of a button. There are also lessons to follow to help users become a coding pro."

  • A remarkable Android/iOS app where you can record short videos and transform into pieces of art using filters powered by artificial intelligence. Choose from a range of filters.
