#mathsTLP


Maths Twitter Planning is hosted on Sunday evenings by @mathsjem and @solvemymaths and is a mechanism by which anyone with something to teach asks others for ideas. Using a hashtag lets you join conversations with a common theme. Another good hashtag to search is #mathschat and regular conversations are held on a weekly basis with a differing theme.


In terms of CPD and subject development, Twitter is second to none for maths. Teachers are time poor and colleges cash poor so the ability to get out of college onto a course is no longer a possibility for many teachers. Twitter is the answer.


Students also engage well with Twitter. It’s the Martini Effect; anytime, anyplace, anywhere learning. A lot of schools use it as a revision tool with many departments setting questions or sending links for their own students. @corbettmaths and @ReviseJustMaths are just two tweeps who set regular GCSE revision questions for students.

Edmodo


This web-based environment can be used to develop independent learning, to communicate with students out of class time and can create an excellent work ethic. It’s simple to use - take a look at the Case Study from Southend Adult Community - students love it and it is secure. You can post videos, set assignments and deal with questions from students within a range of different virtual classrooms. Often in college there is not enough delivery time - Edmodo is a mechanism by which your students can do extra in their own time - homework or pre-work can be easily set.
