How Multiple Intelligence Theory Can Be Implemented in eLearning In this article, I will talk about the different ways in which Multiple Intelligence Theory can be implemented in eLearning to help the learner effectively acquire, retain, and utilize the information being provided within the eLearning course. Use Perfect Learning Objectives To Boost The Quality of your e-Learning The best way to create terrible e-Learning is to dump content in an authoring tool (as if it was PowerPoint) add some questions and call it a course.

ThePhysicalEducator.com | Physical Education Ideas, Resources, & Professional Development Securing that Leadership Position | PE Promotion As we approach the traditional recruitment season in education we may find ourselves taking a sneaky look in the TES for more than just its stimulating educational content. Currently there are 4,610 available jobs listed in the UK, but with less than 10% of those (387) listed as leadership positions. The very nature of leadership positions, the skill sets required and the lack of opportunities compared to main scale teaching posts means that the environment is extremely competitive. If you’ve been settled in your current position (like me) for a fairly long time, you may feel out of touch with interview experience – a bit like I imagine people feel after a long term relationship when they have to get back in the ‘dating game’. Having experienced and been successful at interview for a deputy head’s position very recently, I’d like to outline some key areas that may help you prepare for that all important opportunity.

10 tasks every iPad classroom should be able to do The Educational and Mobile Learning site highlighted a great step by step iPad task tutorial by the folks over at iSupport. They outline five tasks that “every modern teacher” should be able to do and use in their classrooms. It’s a great list: A PDFA presentationAn interactive bookA podcastA movie I really like how they put together an easy way to see how using iPad tools can lead kids through low level to high levels of thinking and doing. But the list isn’t comprehensive. So I’ve added five extra iPad basic skills that I think every teacher using iPads needs to have: Edit PhotosUsable photos are the basics of many different apps and tasks. What skill or task would you add to the list? Like this: Like Loading...
The P.E Geek | Bridging the gap between Physical Education & ICT...Yep I'm a P.E Geek bpollardPE: Practical and simple Teaching & Learning Ideas Teaching & Learning Ideas 1. Question Tokens Hand these or a form of these to a number of students as they enter the room. a) Every pupil with a token must ASK a question during lesson b) The pupil with the token must ANSWER a question, then pass on c) Pupils with tokens are only ones in their group who can ask teacher a question PE Example; Use a token or alternative during practical lessons where pupils secretly pass around as they take part in lesson (much like Liverpool FC's famous £1 game!) Whoever is holding the token at the end of the lesson must lead plenary/ ask 3 questions to rest of class based on learning etc. 2. Pupils are in small groups. group have correct answer, they give to teacher in exchange for card 2. Questions or tasks written on cones for groups to solve or complete before they can return to teacher for the next one. 3. I find this works most effectively when pupils are trying to develop key points & information. Works particularly well when framework in exam answers.
Creating your own school iPad App I remember when I was a teenager. I know you might think that would be a difficult thing for me to do, what with it being so long ago and all that. It actually wasn’t all that long ago though. Ok, so maybe 25 years ago is a fair amount of time. Oh how I miss the days of introducing myself to coding with simple lines of basic …and the pummelling I used to give the “N” and “M” keys on Daley Thompson’s Decathalon [find out more here: I remember waiting with baited breath as the cassette (that’s right – cassette!!) So what’s this ramble all about then? As a general rule, I don’t tend to blog too much about what I get up to at School, that’s not really what my blog is about. So what do you need? The first thing that needed to happen was that the student needed to up-skill himself a bit in terms of his ability to code. The student wanted some guidance on what App to develop. About the Author
