Go Figure: Prezi
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2009/09/prezi.html
Thursday, 3 September 2009. UPDATE: Prezi have changed the way you can embed a slide show.* *. There is an awesome, (and free), alternative to Powerpoint available called Prezi. Despite the name, it has nothing to do with Christmas. Using Prezi, one can create a dynamic slide show which moves about a canvas, zooms in and out, or even spins around. It is quite simple and intuitive to use, and is very effective - and best of all, different! And a comprehensive manual. Posted by Sam Downe. Tales from a Newl...

Go Figure: January 2010
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 19 January 2010. Is a great resource from Triptico. Which I've used a few times in Maths. I want to start building a library of resources for it, so I've created a Google Word Doc. To store my activities for later use, and to share with the department. Anyone can edit this, so please feel free to add your own. (I do have a backup! I like the way it doesn't show right or wrong, but gives a total number correct. This has prompted some vigorous debate about which "branch" needs to be moved. I smile...

Go Figure: Maths Jokes
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010/08/maths-jokes.html
Saturday, 7 August 2010. One thing I really enjoy is having a laugh in my classroom - but I try to make my jokes mathematically based. I've enjoyed following #mathjokes. On Twitter, and have contributed a couple of my own, but I thought it would be nice to record them here too. I'm not claiming complete originality, but I did think these up on my own. Enjoy, and use with care. What do you call a man trapped in a Toblerone? What did the Italian say when the witch removed her six-sided curse? Medical Educa...

Go Figure: February 2010
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 February 2010. Mondrian Art and Maths. On thing I have been very interested in recently is linking Maths to other subjects. I have organised a trip to Bletchley Park. With the History department, and liased with a number of other subjects on how they are using Maths in their classes. However, the one that I have enjoyed the most is two recent projects with the Art department. This then led to a discussion about Mondrian's. Posted by Sam Downe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Go Figure: December 2008
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 13 December 2008. Using Flickr with the School Webpage. Recently, I was offered the option of taking over the school website. I accepted, (eventually), and started thinking about what I was going to do with it. The old one is still live and you can see it HERE. One of the things I wanted to improve was how pictures were displayed on the site. The pictures on the old site were out of date, and difficult to change, so I signed up for Flickr. This is not automatically updated, but using Picasa.

Go Figure: November 2008
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, 1 November 2008. What's Up, Google Docs? I've been using Google Docs. For quite a while now, but since I've been using Google Sites for my Maths website. I've found myself using them more and more for embedding documents and slide shows. My latest experiment is with forms - getting visitors to the website to input data, and then have it stored online in a spreadsheet. They are embeddable in other blogs and websites too:. For lots more ideas on how to use Google Forms, follow the link HERE.

Go Figure: Hash Tag: Maths Movies and PGCEtips
http://mathsict.blogspot.com/2010/08/hash-tag-maths-movies-and-pgcetips.html
Saturday, 21 August 2010. Hash Tag: Maths Movies and PGCEtips. I wouldn't admit to being an extensive Tweeter, but I do follow lots of inspirational and resourceful teachers, educators and those associated with my chosen career. However, if I wanted a reminder of how powerful Twitter can be, it came this week from two contrasting experiments. So I started #mathsmovies on Twitter with the gem:. And then nothing happened. For about a week. 2 x 10 4 Leagues Under The Sea. I know what Euclid last summer.
