    Colin Smith commented on the post, The #PedagooAwards 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Yes, I think making it clear that it is not necessarily for active Pedagoo members would be a positive step.

    On my mind though were earlier comments by members along the lines that Pedagoo had given them the […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, The #PedagooAwards 5 months, 3 weeks ago

    Share concerns about idea of ‘best practice’ – tend to think of ‘appropriate practice for context and goals’. Therefore wonder if “Pedagoo Award” is the best term. What about “Pedagoo Mark of Recognition”?? Not […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Social Equality in the Classroom 7 months, 2 weeks ago

    Great. Having language and conceptual tools to think with works for us all. One aspect of professional learning for teachers is finding conceptual tools to help them to to reflect on and see new possibilities for […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Social Equality in the Classroom 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    There are issues with people not being able to write professional or academic texts, including reports – an issue to which even teachers are not immune, as I have found when being asked to preview pieces they have […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, pedagoo.book 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    If not a book or a Wikki, first issue of Pedagoo Journal – a special issue on literacy. Could be followed by others for other topics, stages of education, etc. An option if less material offered. Journal can be […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Social Equality in the Classroom 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    So, perhaps it does exist in classwork, the lack of catching up in literacy having a knock-on effect through all subjects and curricular areas. I suppose that might be where the intensive support has to be put – […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Social Equality in the Classroom 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    The book, ‘Outliers: The Story of Success’ by Malcolm Gladwell (Penguin Books) deals with this issue (may have been a source used in the CPD even). You will probably find it in the popular science section in […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Pedagoo in my annual review. 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    Just add to all of this above the time you spend thinking in bed, the bath, the car, the train, the bus, while sunbathing (can happen sometimes!) and so on. For anyone committed to their work, measuring […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Blogging with Freire 1 year ago

    Hmmm. Didn’t realise that. Perhaps,, should have. Still, one model of where we can go. Not the only type of article though. Your recent screen cast could be also. Covered not only what worked but also problems. […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Blogging with Freire 1 year ago

    Actually, this blog could have been developed into an article.

    Colin Smith commented on the post, Blogging with Freire 1 year ago

    Agree with all of this. Hope the journal idea takes this further still so that there is an even stronger, shared knowledge building occurring. As always though, time and effort are the issues people will raise. […]

    Colin Smith commented on the post, What about a #PedagooJournal? 1 year ago

    Thanks. Look forward to your ideas. For this to work as visualised, teachers like yourself need to run it. If, I have a role, it would be consultative. Also have a colleague with more experiience of the reviewing […]

    ThumbnailWhat could a pedagoo journal add to blogs?
    Following the discussion on Twitter about the possibility of pedagoo running its own online journal, the following sets out for debate the possible aims and scope for […]

    Mark Priestley wrote a perceptive piece about the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) in the Scotsman (link) that rightly attracted some attention among the followers of Pedagoo. He points out that the CfE might not […]

    The recent post by aileenkelly and response raise, I was going to say, several trains of thought. However, perhaps a better metaphor is that it prompts a walk in a jungle with only several partial views to […]
