I’m enjoyed the blog not least because it’s quite difficult to keep on top of changes when you are no longer attached to an institution. Sudden changes can readily throw you off kilter.

Yes I do say something about the term Anglo-Saxon, but that’s what the curriculum says and they are only eight-year-olds! But I will read some more about what you’re saying before I venture in to get them excited about Sutton Hoo

submitted 5 days ago • 0 comments

 It’s due to arrive today! Every year at the local primary school where I volunteer I go&talk about the Sutton Hoo ship burial about which I’m a bit obsessive when year4 are doing the Anglo-Saxons. I was just thinking I ought to brush up on Anglo-Saxon words for my session so this will help a lot!

Q1. Do you use analogue games for learning, or have you experienced these as a learner? Share your examples #LTHEChat

submitted 8 days ago • 5 comments

#lthechat i’m here:I used to love creating board games: an old projects years ago @kaysambell.bsky.social and colleagues created a wonderful snakes&ladders game when they ran the CETL on assessment4learning. Nowadays my board game is mostly dominoes that I convene for the pensioners in my street.

This is a great blog about analogue games-based learning and some of the language, opportunities and challenges around this. It's well worth a read and suggests it will be another interesting #LTHEchat tomorrow, 8-9pm

This is exactly the example I cited of discrimination against caregivers when I was doing my masters degree decades ago: getting us to hand in an assignment at the end of half term because many of us were teachers, forgetting many of us were parents!
