If you are having trouble convincing colleagues about the need for technology in schools, this video entitled Mr Winkle Wakes might just change their minds… It would be a great way to begin a meeting or presentation on ICT in schools. (If you don’t have access to TeacherTube at school, consider accessing it at home and dropping it into Vodspot. It is well worth the effort.)
It is certainly food for thought and is true in many schools, despite the best efforts of many! Thank you to Sharon Brennan for sharing this one.
This is a great little discussion starter. It could be used with staff at the start of a PD day to get them thinking but I would love to have students watch it as well. They could then come up with ideas relating to how they think schools today should work and develope some ideas about how it might change.
