Useful Software

Hi all - JS has found some free software for doing voiceovers from powerpoint / your computer screen - it's better than Jing as is totally free and has no time-limit - available for download here: http://atomisystems.com/activepresenter/free-edition/ for home computers, or let IT know if you'd like it on your school machine.

Teaching Thinking Skills - 'Thinking Hats'

All - the lesson here from LD aims to push student thinking by teaching de Bono's '6 Thinking Hats' approach. The idea is to make thinking processes more explicit and help develop skilful, controlled and purposeful thinking. There's a useful article here , or see Leanne if you want to discuss.

AFL presentation

All - here is a voiceover film of TB's presentation on Independent Learning from the staff meeting on 12/10/2011. It should work, but if you click on it, it might take about 45 seconds before it starts - don't know why!

Cherwell Online - YouTube Channel

Hi all,
This post represents a rather low-key launch for Cherwell's very own YouTube Channel, viewable at www.youtube.com/cherwellonline . It's rather sparsely populated at the moment, although Sociology and Business Studies have got the ball rolling with some excellent examples of revision videos - thanks to KB and colleagues on her work here!
If you would like to get involved in producing similar resources, please see TB or PS.
Thanks
TB

Independent Learning through Group and Pair Work

Here are short films overviewing the training on Co-operative Learning as delivered in September 2011. The film seems to take about 45 seconds after clicking on it before it starts - apologies for this, but it will get there in the end!

Independence through elearning - blogging

All,

http://www.learnbeyondclass.blogspot.com/

LC is running a blog to support colleagues in setting up and using blogs with their classes. She used this in the INSET session at the start of term, and it's available here: http://learnbeyondclass.blogspot.com/

The videos on the blog do work, but they seem to take about 45 seconds before they get going, so be prepared for a bit of a wait. Also, when clicking on a video, you may get the message 'Embedding Disabled by Request' - if this happens, click on the link below, which will say 'Watch on YouTube'.

Welcome

Welcome to the first post on the Cherwell Learning blog! This blog is designed to be a place where we can store, share and celebrate success, creativity and innovation in the field of learning and teaching at our school.

In particular, we are interested in storing training, sharing best practice, research etc, with the aim of building up a transparent and easily accessible library of resources and ideas.

If you would like to contribute to the blog, please get in touch with TB. Also, please feel free to comment on other posts if you have something to add or to question.
