Some videos
- While my guitar gently weeps / while I rock out on the ukulele
- That’s not a writing tuition centre, it’s a supply store for the working buccaneer – excellent TED video.
- I’m too busy to have a stroke, but I’ll use it to help with my neuro-anatomy research – another TED excellent video.
Some simple but excellent web grooviness (which I think need you to be able to download things onto your web host)
- Sortable tables
- Lots of tools for drag and drop (like Flickr), effects
Singapore maths is or isn’t too hard to teach (depending on whether you home educate or not?).
i really rate the singapore maths series we use. SB enjoys it, and it does encourage the doer to find the technique, as it were
I use Singapore MPH, and think they’re great. The pupil books go seamlessly from full-on explanations, through examples, examples with blanks to fill in, examples with more blanks to fill in, to actual questions. Very easy to teach from, if that’s what you were going to do. I like the way they actually make the children think – Violet’s on 6A and has had questions that make her think more than any GCSE question I’ve seen. Not that they’re difficult, just that they successfully avoid the boring learn-how-not-why route.
