  1. A bookmarklet to help teachers using netbooks in their classes see what a web-page will look like: http://mathsclass.net/s/1724 #DERNSW.
  2. Frustrated that things aren't working.
  3. @benbeilharz definitely not. It contains fruit.
  4. Movember Day 7, the mo' is starting to get annoying. Donate: http://bit.ly/sojomo http://flic.kr/p/7dBJSR
  5. @Pixeltoy I still think it's a fault, have emailed web filtering team.
  6. @stuhasic thanks for the link to Dynamic Paper, added here: http://mathskit.net
  7. @jmun31 there's a tension between staying at a tough school to contribute and making teaching a little more enjoyable.
  8. @jmun31 not really looking forward to relieving again, means that two teacher's classes have casuals = lots of issues.
  9. @SimonBorgert True. We've been working with our feeder primary schools this year on that very issue.
  10. @Lofts1964 for a start, a couple of our faculties are <50% permanent staff. But, I can't point score "tough".
  11. @davidgawthorne you need a television.
  12. @Lofts1964 huge potential in the hands of a HT, but our regular HT is just fantastic. Working in a tough environment at the moment though.
  13. Last day of acting Head Teacher of Maths tomorrow, only done it for a week and have had enough.
  14. @SimonBorgert yeah, until NAPLAN, we were only introducing calcs part the way through Yr 8.
  15. @SimonBorgert well, half the Y7/9 tests allow calc.
  16. @SimonBorgert calculating a percentage in your head, to me, is a valuable skill. Why get rid of non-calc, apart from it being hard?
  17. @alivicwil policing the calc use is easy, because there's a short gap between papers - pick up Calc for 2nd part.
  18. @alivicwil ah... we spend sooo much time preparing for that, still get woeful marks.
  19. Great Google Doodle today... Me want cookie! Om Nom nom nom
  20. @SimonBorgert sorry, misunderstood, you said "wish you would remove non-calculator section though" did you mean "include"?
