Tuesday 20/1/09 - A maths (yr8) class have been having lessons on how to use http://www.blogger.com/www.mymaths.co.uk
Found it really interesting myself due to the fact that I'd seen students working on this site but not understood how it actually worked. I now know how it looks/works for both students and teachers. A good way of paperless homework (and sometimes class work too) and ideal for monitoring by teacher. Some pupils will come in with excuse that they couldn't get internet access no doubt, (but it won't hold!) We have homework club with computer access daily and there is always access in the library after school on most days! Besides, if they come to the teacher/TA asap we will find a way around it. Unlike paper homework, they can have numerous attempts (it records how many) but will remember the highest mark. It's quick and instant as the pupil can see their marks immediateley by clicking on "markit" ... and no "Sorry. I've left my book at home!"
There are some brilliant maths 'games' on this site too - so when pupils are allowed on "something sensible" .... this is one of those sites!!

As it suggests, a mixture of home and work life! General family life (standard issue of husband and 2 kids! ... and the dog!). Live in the South but originate elsewhere! Have a English/Polish background and a mixed religious background too - makes me interesting (sometimes)! Work isn't quite so standard. I work as a TA in a secondary school and have just begun a Foundation Degree as a mature student - not sure what I'm letting myself in for!! :)
