If, like me, in the past, you've dabbled with Google Classroom, it's perhaps time to have another look. Although you may feel like the amateur or the pupil again, the payoff is well worth going through the learning curve pain, and as I've learnt today, the kids will really help you through it. Lessons are grouped together on the welcome screen. In addition if you're struggling, (like with so many things on Google;) , you can collaborate, meaning a willing teaching assistant, or another Teacher can share the workload and you can do everything together. While the layout of Classroom hasn't changed, some of the functionality has made it a powerful tool for any Teacher with additional benefits for the school. If you're unfamiliar with Clasroom, it's a portal that allows you to collate all of your school lesson plans, activities and resources, and now it indexes childrens work, provides detailed (albeit simple) reports showing who has 'Turned in...
I'm currently chatting with a good friend about their (new) phone options. They have an iPhone 7, but aren't happy with the picture quality of it. This means, there is something wrong. The first time photographers started taking smartphones seriously was around the time of the iPhone 4. Since then, cameras have only gotten better. So if your images aren't coming out the way you want, then perhaps the technique is wrong. So here are my top tips for getting much better images with your current handset. CLEAN YOUR CAMERA LENS. The first thing, with ANY smartphone, before you take a shot is to clean the lens. While the delicate optics will be behind a hardened glass cover, the glass will likely need a clean. This simple action in itself will produce sharper results, will cut down on glare or haze and allow the camera processor space to calculate the best exposure for the image. If you use a DSLR, then you will always want to ensure that the lens is immaculate, and your...
Clarity and preparedness If I have to travel anywhere new, I'll need plans. No one else's plan's, my own. In my old life, whenever we had meetings, a few members of our management team would always hook up with me. Marc, once told me, the reason he always jumped in with me was because I'd know exactly where the venue was, where the best places to park were likely to be, what time we would have to leave to arrive early, what the hotel was called, what the check in arrangements were and so on. He was right, I am wholly uncomfortable if I do not know any of this. Another colleague I work with now, Ken, has observed I'm very much a details guy. I have to know exactly what to do, I am pretty hopeless with any ambiguity, if it isn't totally clear, I flounder or stop dead in my tracks. Likewise, with the En suite we're having installed, I have to know exactly, what tiles we're having, what toilet, tap, shower, etc and until that's all decided and written...
