The MathsMeet unconference was held on Thursday night at the CLC and was a great success. Organised by and for maths teachers throughout the region, it was streamed live from the TV Studio to the world.
MathsMeet was an event much in the vein of the popular TeachMeet sessions; around 30 teachers from Sheffield, Lincolnshire and Doncaster signed up at a collaborative web site agreeing to prepare a 5 minute presentation. A further 10 viewers watched live from the Isle of man to the United States, linking socially to the event using Twitter.
Watch this space for interviews of individuals involved in presenting their tips, tools and ideas. Also, we will edit the live footage into bitesized chunks – all to be available on the MathsMeet web site: http://mathsmeet.yolasite.com.
The CLC is proud to support and facilitate these events and look forward to the next challenge!
Here is one micro-interview of teacher Oliver Offord, from Balby Carr
Bessacarr Primary staff attended a CPD day here at the CLC on 7th May with the first part of the day focused on using AverMedia Visualisers in the classroom. The attention being not just the technology, but integrating with Assessment for Learning and classroom use. Very much a ‘hands-on’ session, activities involved all teachers from Foundation to Y6. Next came an EasySpeak podcasting session with integration of Audacity software for recorded radio again suitable for all years. Teachers took part in a pre-production storyboard exercise for an instructional video then used Flip video cameras and MovieMaker to make and edit their own short films. Finally, using Digital Blue cameras with ZU3D software to make the easiest 23 minute stop-motion movies ever! A fruitful and enjoyable day; as you can see and hear from the testimonial above, also highly valued!
