Should be interesting to go through the CT scheme as an Outdoor Education Teacher.I’m not sure if anyone has actually done that yet?

Like the canoe pic.

Firstly, congratulations! Both on the CTeach and the job.

I think you’re comments required moderation/approval because you had included code - quite often a sign of spamming. I think the thread kind of makes sense now that I’ve approved them!!

Cheers for sorting that out the embedding for me. Will try that out next time - although, I think the text size when embedded might cause problems.

Thanks again,
Fearghal

I’ll repeat it here to avoid any more confusion

Congratulations on successfully completing module 1. Scribd is a great idea — thanks!

To embed your essay in to edubuzz you can use the code below - you need to put it inside [ ] for it to show up.

It worked for me at

I’ll go and have a look at your essay now before I cause any more confusion - hope you do continue to blog about your CT journey. I wish I’d blogged all the way through rather than just at the last hurdle

With nothing better to do on a wet afternoon, I played about and discovered that the code below will let you include your essay in edubuzz. You’ll need to put it inside [ ] for it to show up.

It worked for me in an edubuzz blog I kept previously at

I hope you do blog about your CT journey. I wish I’d started earlier … it certainly kept me focussed during the dissertation stage and the comments I received were extremely helpful … and were included in the writing up stage, too.

I’m off to read your essay now

Is there, however, a distinction between teaching as a profession ruling out the status quo and a politician/government doing this for us? How empowering is this as a first step to change?

And also, thanks for reading it!!!!

PS - Do you know of a way to embed scribd in edubuzz?

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to me, though, for the status quo to be ruled out at the start of the consultation process. Given the huge social, technological and political changes over recent years to the external environment, and the well-known dissatisfaction of many students and other stakeholders with the existing system, there would be no votes in proposing the status quo as an acceptable outcome.
