Colin

My name is Colin and I am a second year teacher at Rochester secondary College. I currently teach Year 12 Business Management and Year 12 Legal Studies, along with Year 8, 9 & 10 Geography. I am interested in being able to utilise ICT within the curriculum to better engage students. This course should help me gain the skills and tools to do this a lot better.

After today, the first day, What has been the most interesting idea? Using thinking tools to engage and challenge students. You might like to explore the teaching of thinking a little more at this link Colin- Anne []

What has been the most challenging thing you have thought about? Pulling the whole project together

How do you feel? Excited about the possibilities, even if a little overwhelmed.

Anything else? Very practical applications



Some good time spent understanding how the tools can be used. However, the Unit of Work is a slow process at this stage. A bit short, but need to get going.
