Blog feedProbationer teacher shares GBL experience
April 1st, 2009A few weeks back I was up at Fraserburgh South Park PS because of visit from the BBC Newsround team who were interested in doing an article about the Dr Kawashima work that we did. I met a propbationer teacher called Jo Barcas Buchan and got to see what she had been doing with Nintendogs in her P.2 class.
It was great to see that Jo has written about her experience with this games based learning approach on the GTCS probationerscotland.org.uk site.
Great to see you sharing your experience Jo and hopefully other probationers may learn from what you have done.
I was an avid listener in the audience when you were out in Melbourne last year for the VITTA conference. Though it’s not toally related I thought you might like to check out a blog from one of the students at Bellaire PS in Geelong. His “Passion Project” blog is about Nintendo and can be found at http://bordanbpspp.globalstudent.org.au/. If you’re interested in the concept behind the “Passion Projects” then you can find more info at http://projectingpassionately.pbworks.com/
