Thoughts on the technology and pedagogy, the difficulty of using the PC’s and iPaqs, working with excluded teenagers, thinking about the organisation of the site
Particularly about how difficult it is to use the equipment, learning everything from scratch on the PCs, try to get enough all the pieces together to do the mediascape working with multiple platforms on the Mac but also the relevance of how media staple fit in with cross curricular working with geography and other subjects and may be putting in the letters that I have written to management in relation to the way that my job might go and the relevance to the work that I am doing here

Thinking about how I organise the essay and thinking that I should have a bit of the front which lists all the visits that I have been to started with the media scape thing and possibly adds Bedales in there as well thinking about alternative possibilities of the way teaching happens talking particularly about team teaching and multidisciplinary cross curricular teaching I was also just thinking that in the introduction I should be very clear about what I’m doing

This isn’t necessarily a new recording this is just ideas to get in quick in the introduction talk about the year of creativity and the fact that ICT going through the schools and being used in every subject and how we work from the children and they know the ICT possibly better than us all those factors should be in the introduction and introduction should be talking about me working this out working out my position with it perhaps are particularly about how we go about getting digital technology into the school what their relevance is what the future might hold and the Knowle West media Centre and other ICT projects that I might have been involved in and I would be very strongly the introduction to the piece to show the pedagogy behind what I’m doing working with my students working with excluded teenagers not going towards any grand idea of changing society not even but yes changing individuals
