This looks interesting and the kind of thing Peter McCann often talks about with his inverted pyramid, with teachers and students being the most important. We just have a weird thing about ‘tiers’ but why not have it the other way round?

Thanks I also liked what Julie Hughes said at the conference, and I will definitely be taking that ‘quote’ back to my Tech For Learning course. I didn’t take so many notes during her session, so I need to go back through the tweets at the time to remember what I particularly found interesting.

This post was part inspired by Julie’s presentation, and part by a tutor talking about a ‘how to blog’ advice site she’d read and how it just over-awed her. When Julie talked about how her students had become kind of ‘natural reflectors’ through blogging I want to open that opportunities to my students, so I need to think about how to break down the barriers to it.

That’s very inspiring. I’ve often collected ideas intending to post a blog but they tend, almost always, not to go anywhere.

I liked something that Julie Hughes said about blogging at the Huddersfield PCET Conference: it’s “thinking through your fingers” and “thinking out loud”, which ties to the importance of articulation. I understand that; I just need to *do* it.
