End of term – where did it go? Oh that’s right, reports.

So, I am a bit embarassed that I didn’t blog for over a month. But things just got crazy there for a while. This term seemed to be all about reports. I hate reports. I don’t mind writing comments – I spend time on them and do my best to make them individual and specific.Continue reading “End of term – where did it go? Oh that’s right, reports.”

I had a ‘meeting/presentation’ from Arnika Brown who is working with office 365. It was a good looksy at what the software can manage, and I think for a school likeContinue reading “Lots of ideas….”

Down the rabbit hole

this is my first post as I try and walk the walk and post my journey in a new school helping to design and then implement BYOD policy. So – this is my first prezi – trying to sum up where I am at, my hopes and fears, and unaswered questions. And I really likedContinue reading “Down the rabbit hole”
