Lifewide vs lifelong learning Image representing learning from all aspects of life. Generated using Adobe Firefly Lifelong Learning Chances are everyone has heard of lifelong learning. Its a good concept. Acknowledging that you will be learning your whole life, not just within the school setting,…

I try to share things out as much as I can. You can find it on my portfolio: stephentaylor.myportfolio.com

A3: Be yourself. Don't worry about small errors or pacing issues. It'll never be perfect. Embrace the imperfections as this allows your students to embrace theirs.

A1: I use so many different things. In my teacher training back in 2010 I got y8 students exploring the schools ecosystem. They took pictures round the grounds, created PowerPoints, then recorded a news show infromt of a big green screen that I edited to put their presentations on afterwards.

Sadly my #boardgame night ended up being cancelled this month as no one could make it through the bad weather and floods. Oh well, at least I can enjoy playing some with my daughter! #gamesnight #disappointed #fun
