The C21 Teaching Review: Mid-Semester One Break

The last two weeks have been a time when educators are working from home more so than from their classroom or have perhaps been taking the time recharge and refresh mentally and physically for term two. I have met with an enthusiastic librarian who wanted the opportunity to spend some time with me without any interruptions. I also spent some time with an IT Manager who wanted to have a chat about flipped learning and 360 videos.

I also spent some time with my own family and had the opportunity meet my colleague from Adelaide, had my motorbike stolen and then found by the Police a few days later (significant damage – am waiting on the insurance assessor report), have had a sick wife and daughter.

Here then, are the articles that I have published over the mid-semester break.

• FTPL – Adding Sections and Pages to a Class Notebook
  • In this Flipped Teacher Professional Learning video, I show you how to add new sections and pages to your OneNote notebook using Office365.
• Honours Dissertation Chapter One – Literature Review

  • The Methodology chapter of my Honours dissertation along with reflection on the examiners’ feedback.
• Friday Freebie – An Introduction to Flipped Learning

The C21 Teaching Review Week 11

We made it! The end of term one has arrived, finally, from the perspective of many teachers and with it, the chance to relax, unwind, and recharge the batteries, physically and mentally, ready to go for term two. Whatever you have planned, stay safe, particularly if you are traveling.

This past week was a quiet one from a writing perspective; I only published two articles. This was due to a webinar on flipped learning that I was asked to run for a school in Spain. The preparation for that, given that it was the first exposure for the majority of staff, was significant as I wanted to make sure that I provided enough information for them to have a good understanding of the principles behind flipped learning without overwhelming them. The recording of the webinar is available here and includes a link to the slide deck. I would appreciate any feedback people care to offer.

Here are the articles published during week 11 of Term 1.

• FTPL – Manage Class Notebook settings, adding/removing students/teachers within OneNote

• In this Flipped Teacher Professional Learning video I show you how to add or remove students and teachers to your Class Notebook, as well as how to manage the settings for your Class Notebook. For the full list of FTPL videos, please click here.

• Reflections on visiting different schools
  • Musings about what I have observed through visiting a variety of schools so far in my role with ClickView
