i see tea

My class did this today whilst we were disussing something and I had left the remote control software on the board. Clearly the three culprits were off task a little while (my bad) but I loved their ingenuity to use the tools to talk to me.

An interesting concept in a lesson – each pupil contributes to the display but to see their work in context they must look at the board. Compelling. Food for thought.

Students working in Y12 Physics lesson I am covering. 9 out of 13 are listening to music. One of those is not using an iPod of some sort. Is this a good thing? (obviously this scenario would please Apple) Can concentration levels be maintained? Improved?

This is all the fridge stuff a man in a van delivered this morning. We used Tesco for two years before they totally let us down in a farce whereupon our shopping was ultimately two weeks late. Their substitutions were always quite random and frequent anyway. Now we use Ocado for six years or so. They are excellent. You do have to pay for delivery but a lot of items have Tesco price match on them. Quality always good. And, even when they get things wrong, you have a sense they are trying to satisfy their customers. As far as I’m concerned, they do.
