I'm sorry, I haven't got a clue

Blood Moon eclipse last night; Choriso asks for comments & gets a lot - clear sky = good view. Explains it nicely & sets class up to perform in front of all the grandparents in the hall.

Feedback yesterday = delivered, not discussed.

A) iOS limit to notes recording...


  • I do limit to my inactive times when totally uninvolved & teacher clearly not about to ask me to do anything. Be assured I'm usually finding ideas/apps/stories to match what they are doing/I think they'll be doing next - ie I'm always catching up & being caught on the hop with 'do you know this song?' or 'do you have something to illustrate this topic?' Would use iOS device with projector, but requires someone less tech savvy but 'in charge' to set up - assuming they're available at an instant's notice. My idea is to buy projector leads & my own speakers (Bluetooth & powerful). Insist wifi access for YouTube etc...


B) a.m. greeting & home time = "serious time"...

  • do not understand the problem. Any case, every day different by previous activity, time pressure on HR teacher, mood of the day, and the teacher herself. Some involve me lot (Minnie, iLeader used to, Choriso), some dump me in it (Allan), some use me when they can (Madge, Legs11), and Fski has no idea what to do with me/tries to pretend I'm not there. Pinch of salt required with this.



C) lunchtime "join in" ... 

  • This is #1 horrendous time for me, as is utterly unstructured. Solution I think = my table in a corner (1st table free?) & board games - their new stock eg alphabet squares, tummy ache...


Bumped into a Russian mum while we were wandering around a park nearby, apparently an English teacher.
