My teacher fellow project has two strands, using analogies
to convey complex scientific information and secondly using technologies such
as the apple ipad and twitter in a learning environment.
I was recently awarded a Royal Society Partnership grant and
a DMU internal grant to work with primary school colleagues to learn best practice
around simple analogies.
I have held workshops around using the iPad as a lecture
tool to various staff at DMU, and recently undertook a project with CELT.
Student and external examiner feedback, as well as tweets from
round the world, have been extremely positive.
I am keen to capture and this disseminate this knowledge,
and publish in peer reviewed journals of pedagogy.
