Ultimate Journals for the Coming Year
As the end of the year draws to a close, with each New Year’s resolution made, promises for a better life, a new you, anything from goals to hopes and dreams and wishes, there are few things that are able to match the promise and potential of a new year as a new journal.
The Core of All Learning: An Interview with Diana Laufenberg
The Core of all Learning – it isn’t about what you know, but what you can create from what you know – An Interview with Diana Laufenberg
How to Reference
When I taught in Tertiary Education, one of the biggest challenges, I and many of my colleagues faced was plagiarism by students across all years of their Undergraduate studies.
OECD’s 2012 PISA Results: The Truth About Academic Successes in the Far East
Every three years, come December time, I get ready for a good chuckling at the ridiculous blame game, and the seemingly, desperately important name and shame game of the OECD’s PISA Results.
Visit to Versailles
In our book, no visit to Paris is complete without a trip to Versailles. In hopes that we may actually entice you to extend your visit to Paris simply to spend one whole day, steeped in and absorbing the amazing architecture and stories behind this grand palace.
Top 5 Things to See and Do in Paris
Our recent visit to Paris was a lot more relaxed especially as we had seen and done most things touristy the first time round. It did however allow us the luxury of re-visiting the places that we felt were the ‘must see’ spots.
The Great European Road Trip 2
So we are finally here in France! Amazing! The journey to the ferry was relatively smooth, although there were some tense moments when we debated whether or not we would be allowed to board the ferry as the sat-nav predicted that we would be there at 12.35 for the 1.15 ferry, and it clearly stated […]
Beating the Queues at the Eiffel Tower
For many the sole purpose of visiting Paris is to get as close to the Eiffel Tower as possible. For the majority the spectacular view of the bronze steel structure against the romantic River Seine and breath-taking architecture that surrounds, is not enough. The trip to the very top of the Eiffel Tower is almost […]
Visiting Paris
Accommodation Once we decided that we were going to spend the first week of the European Road Trip in Paris before heading off on the rest of the Great Adventure, we had to start looking at accommodation options. We debated staying on the outskirts of Paris and taking the metro in every day or staying […]
The Great European Road Trip I
Preparing For the European Trip Tomorrow we set off on our great adventure – A Europe Road Trip! Interestingly the build-up to the road trip and the research in to how to prepare for a road trip was surprisingly limited. So we thought that we would share all that we had learnt in one easy […]

Misconceptions of Teaching with Technology
We all know at least one person who refuses to be drawn to technology. ‘It’s too difficult’, ‘I’m too old’, ‘It’s not for me’….the excuses are vast and reasoning fairly simple to understand for technology is at once scary and exciting. For a multitude of people who have not yet experienced the draw of technology, […]
Telling the Time – iPad App Review
Telling the Time is no easy task to learn. The combination of having to correctly identify the short hand for hours and the long hand for minutes, and then having to associate each with different numbering values. We have published a round-up on teaching time resources for schools, but what about learning at home? Apart from […]
Spotlight On: MercierMagic
A couple of weeks ago, we came across MercierMagic, a blog an entire website run by a clearly, very dedicated teacher, Tracy Mercier. It has snippets of information for a variety of audiences, from the children in the classroom, to fellow teachers, to parents and a host of useful interesting links. The thing that particularly attracted us to […]
Introverts in the Classroom: Susan Cain’s The Quiet Revolution
I recently listened to Susan Cain’s TedTalk on The Power of Introverts and found it really interesting. While it seemed quite clear (at least to me), that she was uncomfortable on the stage, a little hesitant, even timid, I thought that, in essence, helped so much with her message – Quiet: The Power of Introverts. […]
OECD PISA: What the Results Fail to Tell You
Whenever I think of how the developed countries, particularly the UK and the USA got their ‘knickers in a twist’ over the last PISA results, with the drop in placings and so-called poor-performance of the 15-year olds in their respective countries, I also wonder how much reflective searching these ‘poor performers’ have done within their […]
Tutoring Good or Bad…
Tutoring Good or Bad… Possibly depends on where you are in the world As I read this BBC article (Meet the ‘tutor kings and queens’) yesterday, I was not really surprised at the success of these ‘Tutors’ in the East. After all, having been born and bred in Malaysia, where private tutoring has always had […]
Where the Learning Revolution Takes Place – Facilitating Knowledge
So much has been said about embedding technology in to education, about how technology will revolutionise teaching. The truth is technology on its own does little.
