Pontydysgu - Bridge to Learning Pontydysgu.org

The Future of Content by Welsh edu-punk Martin Weller. And if you click though to the uTube version you can watch with annotations.

My Avatar Me - a great animation created by Steven Warburton. Soundtrack: Winds of Change by Jap Jap.

Great video by Tom Lehrer on New Math. If you are a teacher it will give you a complete new perspective on your practice.

Jen writes “Graham - I think your blog should have a space for a ’sponsored vid of the week’. This is mine for next week.” For me, this song by the great Pete Seeger is the ultimate comment on our education systems - and wonderful slides to go with it.

I spent an evening last week with Jenny Hughes gathering together a selection of videos for the front page slot on this site for the next six or so weeks. And we have some great videos for you. If you have any ideas of a video we should feature please email me or leave a comment. But please do watch this one. As Jenny says”If Berners Lee invented the enabling technology, this was the guy who invented the idea!”

We had a long search for a suitable May Day greetings video. Jen and me did not finally agree. Anyway this is her choice. I will post my choice on the Wales Wide Web tomorrow. May Day greetings to you all.
Great music from Tom Robinson and brilliant graphics from RedClydeside.

Pontydysgu is proud to support the brilliant Earthday initiative.

Key for me about understanding the changing ways in which we are teaching and learning is the deep seated changes going on in our societies. I talked about this in a presentation in Pesaro in Italy. And Jens Vermeersch captured my ramblings on a digital camera. Thanks Jens for this short video clip.

YouTube is becoming a great resource for tecahing and learning. Over the next few months I’m going to feature some of my favourites in this spot. This video was made by bjnesbitt who says “This project was created to inspire teachers to use technology in engaging ways to help students develop higher level thinking skills. Equally important, it serves to motivate district level leaders to provide teachers with the tools and training to do so.”

First in a new series of short vidcasts (is that the right word?). In this one I talk about the idea of ‘rich surveys’. Puzzled? What to know more? Just watch the video. It is about 5 minutes long.
