Use more blended learning opportunities in the classroom...

This chap put out a rather refreshing video of how he engages those he teaches in the classroom so I shared it with my A-level Business class to inspire them to encourage their teachers to use more of it in the future.

How many Digital Leaders will take up the challenge over the next 12 months. I know of one young lady who will and is keen to use this as her EPQ topic.

Enjoy the video

Good morning 11S

well what could be more relevant to you than such a question right here and now.

• The BBC have created a 20 minute test which you attempt four times.

• Your competing to carry out the same activity but the computer program has been programmed to model your ability.

• You need to beat your time so your competing really against yourself.

• Michael Johnson will coach you half way with strategies in the hope it will have a positive and instant impact on your performance.

Make sure that you all do it before the bank holiday weekend coming up and let me know how you get on! What have you got to loose?

Good luck and enjoy
