Todays guest lecture for What is Ed?
Today we had another guest lecturer for What is Education lecture instead of Andy, the guest lecturers name was Russell Grigg.
He talked about the role that Estyn has in education in Wales. What Estyn does, where it does it and why. For example: the role with the government, schools, governors, teachers, parents and of course the pupils.
Again, this was an interesting lecture as i didnt know that much aboutn estyn. But the lecture did drag a bit.

Flip camera movies of the uni
In last weeks lesson we were put into groups, then we were given a title, ours was 'The place'. So we decided to film around the university using our route to each class and lecture. Once we finished filming, we uploaded the video to windows movie maker, sped up the video times 3 and then added a song from Benny Hill theme tune to the background.
We then saved the video to the computer, and then once every group has done this, all the videos will be added together to make a short movie.
I really enjoyed this task, it was fun going around the uni in our group filming with the flip camera. It was also fun editing the video and adding the music.
Toodles!

last weeks guest lecturer for what is ed?
Last week we had a guest lecturer called Ken Jones for our What is Ed? instead of Andy.
He talked about local authorities role in education, and the issue of size and capacity of local authorities.
He talked about the 2006 and 2010 PISA and their responses, and the improvements that needed to be made.
The lecture was very intreresting as we didnt know about some of the topics.

Last blog of 2011
Hey guys!
I really enjoyed last lesson with Mandy, basically we had to interpret our version of the nativity (In pairs, i was with Sian). So we decided to interpret it in Sign language (As i can speak it), we started off with me signing and Sian copying me, but she found that difficult, so we then decided for Sian to read it out then i interpreted that in sign. Mandy then videod us and we uploaded that to show the rest of the class. It was really fun :)
So, thats my last blog of 2011! Hope everybody has a fab christmas and an awesome new year! :D
Toodles!!!

Placement week
Hey everyone! Hope you've all had a fab placement week, i know i have!
I've had an amazing time in placement, learnt so much from it, definetly want that to be my career now after experiencing it. Teaching deaf children is so much more rewarding, its also so different to teaching a mainstream class, there's so many different aspects and ways of learning that is much more interesting.
Also my sign language has imporived so much, signing a christmas concert is a new accomplishment i can add to the list! haha
Well not long now till christmas!!! Can't wait to actually have lay-ins! woop woop!!
Well see you in a few days, toodles!
