Faulkes Telescope (http://www.faulkes-telescope.com/)

This is a third telescope resource. Not entirely sure if it is free but as this type of work in class is so useful I am adding to this page.

Feedback

Maggie provided relevant and up to date materials. The course was very relaxed with flexibility built into the day so that we could plan and swap resources."
Ella, New ICT Coordinator
The knowledge and experience Maggie demonstrated was outstanding and I found the course very useful. It helped me to re-define my role as the ICT coordinator
David, ICT Coordinator
An outstanding course leader who provided good insight and practical teaching strategies, she also provided lots of cross-curricular ideas too."
Newly Qualified Teacher, Primary Academy
Went to Technology To Teach's course on developing self-confidence not knowing what to expect at all. I was very impressed! She turned a roomful of awkward young people (myself DEFINITELY included!) into a group of warm acquaintances, laughing and joking, sharing experiences and ideas. It was quite an innovative form of teaching, compared to what I've previously experienced - focusing on IT communication solutions, visual aids and good old fashioned discussion. After every session I went home with a spring in my step, and a smile on my face. Also, I've since successfully done a presentation to thirty business people and government executives! If you have the opportunity to work with Maggie, take it up - so, so worthwhile.

I am currently not attached to a classroom but from my previous experience with Investigative Science, it showed me that it is a process which enables all students to see Science as an area of learning, which they are able to participate in, as it involves observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena which they are often naturally inquisitive about. I was challenged to redefine my approach when teaching Science. I gained understanding of how Investigative Science lends itself to all aspects of the Science curriculum and the need to take small steps in order to achieve the desired learning outcomes . I also understood how Investigative Science was able to differentiate and involve all students in the classroom thus enabling all students to become thinkers and involved in the scientific process. I would highly recommend this PD to other schools who are grappling with Investigative Science or would like to introduce this concept of learning to all teachers, whether experienced or not. The presenter was well spoken, engaged her audience with practical activities and listened to all the questions asked, responding with answers which clearly displayed her knowledge and understanding. A very passionate and motivated speaker.
