With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility

I just wanted to quote from Spiderman!

Activote continues to delight me. But I should mention something that David Gilmour commented about: Activote can be misused dreadfully. One could put up on screen the results of every pupil with their names after every vote. One could display lesson summaries of each pupil's lesson percentage success rate for everyone to see. These would be BAD THINGS TO DO! Formative assessment is the key here, not summative.

Idiots Guide

Good to read your blog Robert.
One of our teachers has produced an idiot's guide to Promethian's tool bar menu (not that I'm implying that you're one!) and its resources such as these that should be shared across the county. If you or anyone else wants a copy get in touch.
Have a good summer.

Activote

Robert, I am really enjoying your blog. It's great to see how the whiteboards and voting tools are motivating and making a real difference to lessons in the maths departments. I love the handy hints emails being sent round too!
