David Noble - who he?

I teach in a school for 'Looked After Pupils' with Social, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties in the East of Scotland. I trained as a Business Studies/Economics teacher and worked in mainstream for 4 years before moving sectors. My first degree is in Accounting. Lately, I've become interested in Multiple Intelligences theory (Howard Gardner) and how ICT/media can be used to bring it within the classroom. In January 2005, I put together a proposal for the Scottish Executive's FLaT fund, which was successful (see http://hillsideflat.blogspot.com). This work has had a massive influence on what takes place in my classroom, and the approaches that pupils take to their learning. Having met Ewan McIntosh at SETT 2005, I became interested in blogging and podcasting as a teaching tool. I took this further by getting some funding from Microsoft/SQA (www.partnersinlearning.org.uk). The reason that I'm writing this blog and doing some podcasting (hands-free, on my drive home from work, maybe?) is to share my experience (as a non-computing expert), and to hopefully show colleagues that it can be done and is an effective classroom tool. I also hope that readers can help me with 'brick walls' along the way!
