Teaching

After starting the PGCE a couple of weeks later than everyone else have managed to catch up, with assignment1 handed in and the micro session went really well.
Am loving the teaching side of it as usual and finding different ways of getting a lesson across. next week will involve different coloured thigh high socks and cut out people. Single camera production i'm specialising in Storyboarding which again i'm loving with the aim of improving students drawing skills at the same time as explaining the nuances of types of shots, camera movements, focusing, mise en scene etc.
Next week have PGCE teaching assessment and the following week Estyn inspection just hope everything goes according to plan. As Kolb would say planning is the key to good teaching.
Have also been refreshing myself over half term on the wonderful program Toonboom as we will shortly be using this aswell as AfterEffects at the college.
Right back to lesson plans............

My website

At last I finally get my website up and running after spending a good few weeks and some this year working myself round the nuances of Flash have done my own website which you can find at

www.spikeyhexer.co.uk

The look of the actual site is good but think the front end is in need of a revamp already, am also thinking of adding a link to this blog which would be a sound investment, this may well be put on hold till Xmas, as the homework is thick and fast at the moment.
