Interesting day at university today - everyone was very tired and the energy levels were pretty depleted. I went to four sessions. The first was about different learning styles - really good session and a big theme for me as I try to understand how to spot and then cater for different learning styles. The second was about teaching able, gifted and talented kids. Another thought provoking hour or so, only slightly distracted by the fact that Ted and Ellen are both considered able....proud Dad but are they being stretched enough?
The afternoon was very very long. The first session was ICT and was very good as we worked with the interactive whiteboard and multimedia. There is so much I can do with the interactive white board and haven't got round to yet. The last hour on data was less useful and I was happy to depart for home.
It's funny that everyone was grumbling about a day of meetings that lasted from 9.30 to 4.15pm. Then I remember the average 8am to 6pm Diageo meeting with a working lunch.....
