Robert Jones\’s Interactive Maths

I popped into Dunbar this morning - and had the good fortune to walk into Wendy’s birthday party.

We discussed the use of blogs in education, and despite my confusing explanation Mags has decided to start a learning blog with one of her classes. Douggie also expressed interest in doing so. I’m delighted about this - I’m sure the pupils will really benefit from it.

On the topic of whiteboards, the Dunbar folk showed me a few new tricks, but I’m sworn to secrecy, as they are going to be revealing them at the in-service session on Friday afternoon. It should be a good session. They also showed me the bounceback package, which works really well on a whiteboard. I think we may have this across the authority - I shall explore this tomorrow.
I managed to help out with a couple of technical issues: using the maths tools and the camera, but as ever I received more good advice than I gave out.

During my demonstration of the exc-el blogging tools, we hit a glitch:  the system won’t allow the uploading of flipcharts!  I’ve figured out how to fix this, and David should have this sorted in a day or two.
