I thought last Friday was one of the best days we’ve ever had, but this week is on a par. Doesn’t it just show how many great things are happening in our classrooms each week, all over the place? Makes my heart […]

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between any of the PedagooFriday tweets as the best. They are all the best. Here, therefore, is a selection of the tweets to start off the new year. Have a great […]

Great post, Gretchen. I too struggle with this on a daily basis and have blogged regularly on the subject. I think it is all about developing a reading relationship with the kids in front of you. You seem to be […]

Thanks Kellie

As we approach Teachmeet Scottish Learning Fringe 2012, perhaps the biggest day in Pedagoo’s reasonably short history, it is a good time to take stock and reflect on how far we’ve all come. More importantly, […]

There was real feeling that before a change in practice must come a change in Mindsets of all involved. It was clear that this day showed that greater teacher collaboration is possible and the enthusiasm felt by […]
