Beat Bullying
Spent the day today helping out a group of Tallisites working with primary school kids from the area at Charlton Football ground. We helped the kids make anti cyber bullying Voki’s which can all be viewed here. The group Mr. Searle and I worked with were really good and a credit to the school :)

Enrichment Fail
Despite my best intentions and a sound idea, my enrichment activity has fallen at the first hurdle. Out of the nearly 200 year 12 students that are taking part in enrichment this term, 1 student opted to do my activity! What was slightly depressing was that each student gets 3 options, a first, second and a third, yet even if you factor in those that wanted to do my activity as their second and...
Year 12 Induction Day
Today is the day that the new Year 12’s get their first taste of Tallis Sixth Form life. I only have a very tiny role in this and that is to talk to those interested in my Enrichment activity, Enrichment Bloggers.
So currently I am sat in the sports hall waiting for prospective students to come and ask me what it’s all about. The students get to choose which Enrichment activities they...
And so it begins...
Well today is Friday, which marks the first “official” day back at school for the staff. I haven’t done a huge amount to the site or the blog this week as other things have gotten in the way unfortunately.
One thing that may prove quite fun though is that I have been asked to run an Enrichment activity this year. Originally I was asked to run a Warhammer / Wargaming activity,...
September...
Well it would appear that it is the 1st of September already. Scant days remain until school begins and work starts “properly” (that said this is already my third week back lol).
Since my maddness induced need to play with my page on Saturday morning, I have managed to restrain myself and wait until today to do anyhting to it. Today I have discovered that for reasons best known by...

Updateness
Not a huge amount to report. For some strange reason I am sat in bed working on my site on my laptop. It is Saturday morning. I have no explanation for this, but I am a little afraid…
Anyway… like I said not a huge amount to report. I have added some rambling waffle to a few of my pages. I added some links to my Links section (and will add more later). I have thought a bit more about...
I'm with stupid...
Ok well I may have just made myself sound a wee bit silly. As soon as I wrote my last post I went onto Weebly and thought to myself “I know, why don’t I check the Weebly help page?”. This may sound obvious, but I am one of those people who is very hands on. I like to play with things. I like to see how things work for myself. I like to try and turn my new Transformer from a car...
Mission...
Today I have decided to set myself a task. There is one thing that I find slightly frustrating about Weebly and that is the abitilty (or lack of) to have pages within pages. What I mean by that is that each page on the website has a seperate shortcut on the side bar (or top bar if that is how your page is organised.) What I would really like is to have the navigation bar to be more generalised....
Can of Worms...
Continuing my adventure of Website-ness, I have used the Forum function on Weebly to add a forum page. This in itself isn’t particuarly taxing to do (drag forum box onto page…) but I felt that I wanted to have some sort of place, a forum if you will, where people can discuss things applicable to the website. As I write this I have thus far only added a ”Welcome” post, which...
Commenting...
Earlier today i received an email from Mr. Hawes challenging me to add comments to my tumblr page. Up until this point I must confess that I hadn’t even noticed that there was not facility for commenting provided in tumblr, how very unobservant of me! I will admit that he did make life fairly simple by providing me with a link to a Youtube Video which made the whole process much simpler as I...
Avatar Day
Anyone that knows me knows that I am a geek. What’s great about being a geek is that we don’t have to pretend to not get excited about geeky things, like movies for example. One of the geekiest movie makers out there is James Cameron, he has dedicated his entire career to making films that he can geek over, to the point where he took a break from making Hollywood type movies for over a...
Todays Experiment...
Today I finally managed to email Mr. Hawes to give him links to my Tumblr and Weebly sites to put up onto the Tallis Lab site. He suggested to me that it might be cool to have a Flickr slide show on my images page. Always happy to rise to a challenge, especially when its using something web based that I haven’t before, I quickly created myself a Flickr page and uploaded some photos. As the...

I’ve been playing with free addon’s for websites. The objective of this was to find a hit counter for the bottom of my main page on my Weebly site. No really need for it, I just thought it would be nice to see how many people have a look! The counter at the bottom of the main page is linked to the site that I generated it from if you want to add one toy yours. There are loads of sites...

Another exciting day in the Learning Resources room! Today I am mostly working on a few projects as well as updating this and my Weebly site. On Weebly I am adding a photo gallery of my trip to Norway. Even though its not your normal sort of summer holiday destination, it was a really great place to visit. Lots of truly fantastic scenery and really interesting place to visit. I’ll probably...
Back to Work...
Tuesady 18th August 2009 - 1107am
Well it’s back to work for me already! Despite working in a school I’m not quite lucky enough to have the whole of the Summer hols off. Not that I mind though, it’s actually quite peacefull sat here on my own blogging :) (Well it would be peacefull if I wasnt listening to loud music…!)
Well being back gives me a chance to add some content...
