For some reason this year I&#8217;m coming to feel that the &#8216;student voice&#8217; has been really missing in my practice this year, especially around the iPad [&#8230;]]]></description>

I had a Small Panic that this was &#8216;cheating&#8217;. I had a timely call from a fabulous colleague who Set Me Straight. I&#8217;ve thought about a lot of different possible tasks [&#8230;]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a potent reminder about what I love about my job. Memorable Moment #1 Watching the City &#38; Guilds EV watching the video from the [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the way that I attend conferences is changing. Tutors on my Tech for Learning Delivery course were laughing last week at just how many conferences I&#8217;ve attended &#8211; and I suppose as an FE tutor, it probably is quite rare to have such opportunities. Recently, I attended the RSC-YH e-learning conference in Leeds. [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The term &#8216;evidenced-based practice&#8217; is something that I&#8217;ve been coming across more and more recently. Of course, I&#8217;m aware of Geoff Petty&#8217;s work in this area, although I can&#8217;t admit to have read his whole book. I reflected on the opening speech last year, where the guest speaker talked about Hattie&#8217;s research (this was the [&#8230;]]]></description>
