Great video. I’m also intrigued how this sort of metadata can create an intelligence we can tap into to understand the learning and heartbeat of a school.

I’m curious as to why the grades all used a single account rather than individual accounts that used a shared workbook? Budget, or something I’m missing?

Thanks for the post

Just incredible. At the forefront of teaching and learning, but then also so “of course, why hasn’t anyone else thought of this. This is what we should all be doing.” I hope you keep updating the blog with news of how this is coming along. I haven’t watched the next video, but I’d interested in seeing how this works with Key Stage One.

As the founder of the rapidly developing 100 Word Challenge, this reluctance to embrace social media and blogging in particular is very frustrating. The idea of the challenge is to provide an audience for the children’s work. I have a dedicated team to do this but we are constantly prevented form leaving constructive comments because of red tape and so many barriers that some give up.
We need schools to fully understand what is needed as far as internet safety is concerned and not assume that more is best. For children to develop and grow they have to be part of the social world but in the real world and on line.

Completely agree with this – if you can build a structure to support failures then you have a working environment which can both innovate and achieve. I know I learn best that way, and I think many people do :)

Brilliant thoughts here Neil, social-media is a dirty word for some in education, but we need to look at it with a clear perspective. There will always be excuses for some not to embrace innovation, but this is the big shift of our time and we need to get on board. Having this blog is a little like still having you as my Head, but in cyberspace :)
