Lifewide vs lifelong learning
Image representing learning from all aspects of life. Generated using Adobe Firefly Lifelong Learning Chances are everyone has heard of lifelong learning. Its a good concept. Acknowledging that you will be learning your whole life, not just within the school setting, but throughout your career and possibly in your personal interests as well. The only problem with this is many see this lifelong learning as transactional.

A1: I use so many different things. In my teacher training back in 2010 I got y8 students exploring the schools ecosystem. They took pictures round the grounds, created PowerPoints, then recorded a news show infromt of a big green screen that I edited to put their presentations on afterwards.

Sadly my #boardgame night ended up being cancelled this month as no one could make it through the bad weather and floods.
Oh well, at least I can enjoy playing some with my daughter!
