Subliminal Teaching

I found this an interesting piece, http://uk.news.yahoo.com/vdunet/20080630/ttc-capom-sets-out-to-brainwash-kids-6315470.html


Society has changed so teaching and learning must reflect it and after all , we all learn better if we are enjoying it!

Monopoly London

Inspired by Tim Moore's hugely amusing book Do Not Pass Go, I started my walk around the Monopoly streets of London. It was all a bit slapdash. I stumbled upon Bow Street by chance and I forgot what I was supposed to be doing during the walk from Covent Garden (which I mistakenly thought was on the board! Of course it's Coventry Street) to Leicester Square, so totally missed the street sign and found myself looking for pigeons in Trafalgar Square before I knew it! Whitehall also fell by the wayside, my mind on the search for an ice cream! Northumberland Avenue was a 'Oh look , that's one of 'em',thing. Still three's a good start. (Covent Garden is included until Coventry St is done!)
