Education on Fire goes to LA for Podcast Movement 17
I am so excited to say this week I will be attending Podcast Movement 17 in Anaheim, California.
I am going to meet the best podcasters in the world and learn as much as I can to make the Education on Fire podcast as inspiring as it possibly can be. I have taken a sharp learning curve in creating this podcast so far and if you want to improve then surrounding yourself with the best is great advice. That is exactly what I am doing.
I will let you know all the insights when I return and point you in the direction of some awesome content by the podcasters that I meet.

Edutech Show 6-7 October 2017 London Olympia
Edutech Show 2017
Curriculum centred exhibition launched for UK Teachers at Olympia, London.
NAPE are pleased to support this upcoming conference and the Education on Fire podcast will be there getting all the behind the scenes information for its Life Long Learning listeners.
Edutech show is set to launch this autumn at Olympia, London on 6-7 October.
Organised by Events Ltd and supported by the Primary School Association, NAPE and media partners Education Technology, Independent Education Today, and Academy Today magazines.
Edutech is designed for UK teachers and educational practitioners and aims to bridge the gap between technology and the curriculum by demonstrating how technology can support them and drive engagement in the classroom.
Event organiser Joanna Burke MD at VAB Events said: “ The Ed-tech event sector has become extremely fragmented for UK Teachers who are always searching for practical tips and ideas on how to use technology more effectively in the classroom. Edutech Show aims to demystify technology and make it more accessible by providing an expert range of speakers and commentators who can ‘pull back the curtain’ and provide practical tips and ideas that can be used in any educational setting. “
The free-to-attend event will showcase the latest products and services whilst delivering over 40 insightful seminars, master classes and demo sessions covering topical themes such as the Curriculum, E-Safety, Reality of the modern classroom, Learning models, and Big data.
Suppliers will demonstrate the latest technology and services to support practitioners across all subjects from Arts to Science and develop working partnerships.
Visitors will also be able to relax in the Networking Lounge or Café or catch up with colleagues.
Pre-event registration is available now – seminar registration will open by the end of May 17. To guarantee entry to popular seminar sessions visit: http://www.edutechshow.co.uk

What do the children think? – Get involved with season 3
You can be involved with season 3 by talking to the children in your class about the 10 questions listed below.
If you teach children aged 5-13 anywhere in the world this is for you!
Listen here to my pre-season 3 podcast episode, as I explain how to get involved and inspire your students.
- I’m looking for children and teachers to be on the podcast. Let me know if that’s you and we can record your answers for the show!
- Write down your own answers, send them to me and I’ll include them on the Education on Fire blog!
- Write your own blog or record a video for your school and send me the link. I will then share it with other teachers.
Let’s get to know what our students think about their school life.
- If you could design your own classroom what would it look like? Eg Large open plan loft style, small rooms, sit in rows or groups? Anything goes be creative!
- How would you create your day and spend your time? Eg How much time inside/outside, how much studying, exercise, time on your own/with others, playing, games, projects. Anything goes be creative!
-
How do you assess your progress? What do you do everyday to move forward towards your goals and dreams?
-
How often do you discuss and think about – what you eat, exercise, breathing, sleeping, mindfulness, gratitude, volunteering?
-
How often do you discuss and think about life? Babies being born or people dying.
-
How often do you discuss money, budgets, savings, financial planning?
-
Do you work with a mentor? Do you know what a mentor is?
-
How often do you lead a team of people?
-
Do you like working on real projects that are relevant to you? Eg Fundraising, events for the local community, school productions, concerts, sports events?
-
Of the things you enjoy most – do they happen in school time or are they after school clubs?
Have fun and explore you imaginations. Remember nothing is impossible just think about what you would like your school to be!
