Not “that” kind of quickie. Mucky minds people! This is a quick blog post as it doesn’t really fit into any of the other three posts that I currently have word documents open for … expect a deluge later today. I’ve also had a nightmare with a memory stick that means I’ve lost a load of … Read more
… than you can shake a stick at! So another #mathsconf5 has been and gone and my twitter line is full of people buzzing from the weekend. As I brushed my teeth on Friday afternoon before leaving to catch my train I had a vision of a Star Trek convention and it felt all a … Read more
Anyone that knows me will know how much of a “twitter” advocate I am in terms of the benefits to my teaching. I use it professionally and rarely use it for personal stuff (that’s what Facebook is all about for me but I don’t really “do Facebook anymore”) – ultimately it’s nice to know that … Read more
In 2 weeks’ time I will have been blogging and tweeting for 2 years (does that mean I can start with the “terrible twos” and start having tantrums?) My very first post was ummmmm … let’s just say … very short and looking back at one that came shortly after (Making a difference) the memories of the … Read more

If someone said to me 12 months ago, that I would be on Twitter, … Read more

Its tough when there is a long run until the next exam session – there seems to be no sense of urgency in some … Read more
To continue on the theme of #nurture1213, and in the same style as part 1 (in less than 120 characters) this is my list of hopes, some would say “pipe-dream” for the forthcoming year. On a personal level 2012 has been a tough year, so here’s hoping for a better 2013 and to all of … Read more
Consider this to be my end -of-year round robin – its my blog version of those programmes with the B-list celebs talk about the highs and lows of the year – minus the celebs, and hopefully not as cheesey.
