April 17th, 2009 Simon I met the salesman for the Vosa iBoard at the CESI conference and I ended up speaking with him for about 45 minutes. This guy was really really passionate about his IWB and he spent most of this time trying to convince me that his product was the greatest IWB in the world. He believed his software was better than any other software available in the world. In short, MRP, a Dublin-based company, are very proud of their board.

Objectives-without them, you are in the dark! Part 1
April 5th, 2009 rozz This week I am busy tutoring student teachers in the teaching methodologies-English. I remeber when I sat in my first lecture in University of Wales and realised there was such a thing as learning objectives! I had spent 2 years teaching as an unqualified teacher and obviously had never heard about any of these basic requirements of planning, teaching and learning.
