Comments Off on Resource Allocation
I recently took part in a resource allocation task which allowed me to reflect on my understanding of how some people have more of a struggle than others when working towards a goal, due to their different resources and opportunities. During this task, I was placed in a group and given an envelope full of […]

Comments Off on TDT – Racism
The understanding ourselves lecture based on Racism explained how racism is still an ongoing issue in today’s modern society. At the start of the lecture we are asked to write down our understanding of race, ethnicity and discrimination. My thoughts on these terms were: Race – A shared physical trait of a group Ethnicity – […]

Comments Off on Resource Allocation Input
After Derek’s input on Resource Allocation the theme became significantly clearer. We were put into 5 groups and each given an envelope filled with resources and asked to create a resource out of the material we were given for first year students to use – basically a survival kit for new students. My group created a […]

Comments Off on What would you do?
Everybody’s life’s are different, someone may look the same as you and feel the same as you but the worries and struggles we all face are different. We shouldn’t take what we have for granted when others are struggling. What would you do if you knew somebody was struggling with money, food, clothes, house, rent, […]

Comments Off on Wallace and Bruce…with a twist!
Although it has been a while since I last engaged with my ePortfolio, I have come back to it to write a new post that focuses on my own learning experiences at school. I believe that in order for successful learning to take place, the teaching must be fun and engaging. If this is achieved […]

Comments Off on The potential of visual data in research
I am currently mired in analysing the data, writing methodology and trying to pull everything together for the PhD. I set targets but continuously underestimate how long it will take me to do something. Consolation is found in the thought that I must be doing each activity thoroughly if it is taking so long and […]

Comments Off on Science or art, art and science
Bubble, Bulge and Bleb. Somewhat a rather interesting tittle, have a little look. When you visit a gallery, you expect to see art work, but it is very unusual and rather creative for me to see such modern art in a science format. But at Dundee Life Sciences, Bubble, Bulge and Bleb, Artists […]

Comments Off on A learning experience at school that was memorable
A learning experience that stands out for me is a topic on advertising I did in primary six. We were put into groups and had to come up with a type of perfume. Once we created our idea we then had create different ways to advertise it. We made leaflets and posters but the one […]

Comments Off on Symbiotic Relationship between mathematics and science
Symbiotic means interaction between two ‘things’, this interaction is normally to the advantage of both. It is a mutually favourable relationship that can happen between different groups or people. It could be said that mathematics and science have a symbiotic relationship and that adopting a cross curricular approach to teaching both subjects in primary school […]

Comments Off on Role Play in Mathematics
Role play can be described as range of activities that mirror real life under a controlled environment. It can be based around a ‘snapshot’ or reality or it could be taken from a ‘made up’ event. Role play can allow children to manipulate time and space, restricted only by children’s imagination. Role play has so […]

Comments Off on Fun in a Maths Class?
Maths is much more than boring equations full of numbers! Mathematics is bursting with shapes, patterns, science, history, art, the list is goes on. so why do we just assume that maths is challenging sums? Islamic art is a perfect example of how maths links with other subjects. As Eddie explained how angles and shapes […]

Comments Off on First Step in Discovering Maths….
….MATHS IS EVERYWHERE! I could honestly say i tried very hard to avoid maths as soon as I walked out of school two years ago. But, stepping back into a module of discovering maths, its brought my realisation that i physically cannot escape the “terrifying fears” that comes with mathematics. No, maths isn’t really that […]

Comments Off on Daunting Discovering Maths
Mathematics, one of the scariest words that can be said. I feel that I suffer from maths anxiety and so when deciding to choose the discovering maths elective I felt very nervous about what to expect. However I must say, so far so good. From my experience of maths at school I always believed, what […]

During our most recent values seminar, we were divided into five groups. We were then given resources, such as paper, coloured pens and paperclips, in which we had to use to complete a creative task. I was in group three and found that as soon as we were given our resources, we were aware that […]

Comments Off on What Kind of Teacher Do I Want To Be?
As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I hope to spend this year working on developing into my own kind of teacher, rather than simply imitating my ‘host’ teacher. That is not to say that I wont use the elements of good practice that I observe, or wont follow the advice and guidance of … Continue reading What Kind of Teacher Do I Want To Be? →

Comments Off on why?
Learning a new skill is sometimes daunting. Applying the skill gives you that wee bit more confidence then showing others gives a degree of confidence in the skill. This week I learnt how to upload a video from my iPhone to YouTube then to my eportfolio, in a somewhat seamless manner. Although I am not […]

Comments Off on Morals and Stories
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love stories! I’ve always got at least 2 books sitting on my bedside table, and when I’m working in nursery, story time is among my favourite times of day. It’s a chance to calm down, relax, and lose yourself in another world. During this … Continue reading Morals and Stories →
