Kidsmeet – St John’s

This post is to showcase the great work from my children at the recent Kidsmeet event. From my point-of-view, they were incredible.

They presented on a range of different tools such as Google Sites, Popplet, Animoto and 2DIY. If you have never seen Popplet before (www.popplet.com) then Imi made an example to discuss how it could be used within the classroom. This Popplet can be found here and a how-to video is here.  A video explaining how Google Sites are created can be found here.

Throughout the afternoon there were many discussions about Digital Leaders, Google Apps, Twitter and many other things! It seems like there are lots of exciting things happening in schools acorss Hampshire and we thank everyone for attending. There will definitely be another event soon.

Here are some photos put together on Animoto by some of my Digital Leaders.

I came across these today and thought you might like to have a quick look through. They are online magazines created by Martin Burrett (@ictmagic) and contain a wealth of ideas, resources and tools to use in various areas of the classroom. There are some great ones that I’d heard of such as Isle of Tune, Sumo Paint and Audacity but also loads that I hadn’t seen before.

Do go and take a look.

A quick update

Categories:

We thought it was about time that we posted an update about some of the things we have planned for the Hampshire BLT this year.

Firstly, we want to share more. This will involve training events and also sharing good ideas from the classroom. So we’d like to hear from you, what sort of training events would be useful? The first one that is planned is a session on blogging that will showcase the power of blogging with pupils and explain how to get started with your own blogs. Could your school help to host a session after school one day? All we would need is a classroom with internet access and we will provide the rest. Please get in touch with Ian to offer your school as a venue.

Later in the year, hopefully around April, we will also be organising Hampshire’s first Kidsmeet. This follows in the vein of Teachmeet events and will involve children sharing their learning with other children, teachers and head teachers. We will post details of that very soon.

Also, tomorrow many schools across Hampshire will be lucky enough to see Tim Rylands talk at Brockenhurst School. Tim always provides excellent advice and ideas for schools so it will be interesting to see what he has to share with us. We will post some resources here in the next few days. Tim’s blog is here.

Tim Rylands coming to Hampshire?

Categories:

by

The excellent Tim Rylands is pencilled in to come and speak at a Hampshire school on January 3rd. Tim is a fabulous speaker and everyone will leave inspired and enthused. The session will be on Tuesday January 3rd and will be held at Brockenhurst School in the New Forest. The cost is £35 per person and this includes refreshments.

The plan for the day is for Tim to share some fantastic resources at the start before giving delegates a chance to have a play and get hands-on with the tools. Delegates will learn loads from the session and have a wealth of resources and ideas to take back to their school.

To find out more about Tim, visit his website: www.timrylands.com

Hampshire BLT Launch

Categories:

by

On 22nd September, we will officially launch the Hampshire BLT Network. Details can be found below:

 

So what is this all about? Well it is a network of teachers, head teachers and schools throughout Hampshire that want to share ideas, collaborate and communicate with others. We want to Network, share and empower our schools to use technology in exciting ways that benefit learning.

ICT practitioners, classteachers and leaders are invited to an exciting new free event in Hampshire to support the launch of the new Hampshire better learning through new technologies blogsite.

On the 22nd of September at Ashburton Hall in E11 Court in Winchester from 2.00pm we are holding an ICT Speed Learning event.

At 2.00pm there will be a Key Note delivered by a Headteacher from London who is affiliated to the SSAT.

At 2.45 we will hold an ICT Speed Learning Event and would ask for offers of sharing from classteachers who are using ICT to ensure better learning in their classrooms to share their ideas and practice

What is a speed learning event?

Speed learning is similar to speed dating! It is the opportunity to share and learn with other like minded colleagues in a short space of time. Knowing how precious everyone’s time is -the ‘speed learning’ events aim to provide an intensive but fun learning opportunity after school. Colleagues leave each event having picked up a series of top tips and short term strategies to use ICT as a tool to support learning as well as one or two longer term ideas and thoughts.

At 3.45 there will be an opportunity to purchase refreshments and network with colleagues. Refreshments will be available from the coffee shop at E11 Court.

To enroll, offer yourself to lead a session or for further details please contact:

Claire Lowe: Claire.lowe@blackfield.hants.sch.uk;  or Julie.broomfield@blackfield.hants.sch.uk   02380893132
