BBC - The politics Show II

As I said on Thursday, the BBC were over filming on Friday for today's Politics Show.

I am just home from lunch with my in-laws (They are visiting from Newcastle and I couldn't change nor want too change the arrangements)

Several people have stopped me and said the 5 min piece came across very well.

It should be available on the Politics Show (Scotland) web site later today but I would be very interested in opinions (Negative as well as positive) or questions raised by the piece.

PS Just had this written article sent to me.

You and the students came across very well, and they managed to catch you giving some very soon advice on writing essays on or offline to one of them. Well done!

Congratulations Ian, this is a huge achievement for you and everyone at the school. I just read the story on BBC News. Well done! Great publicity for Islay :-)

Just watched it online (it starts at 1:15 and runs until 1:21 + a bit of discussion until 1:22). It came over very well, really showing the benefits while still making the students think.

I picked up the bit that Ewan mentioned as well, that was great.

And Glenn seemed to be jealous that he didn't have something like this when he went to Islay High ;-)

Do you have a link to where you watched it.
I still haven't seen it

Ian,

yes, watched it on the Politics Show Scotland site, click on the "Latest Programme" link (under Glenn's picture).

You should be able to "fast forward" by moving the slider and then wait for a few seconds for it to catch up, at least it worked for me.

Hope this helps.

Very interesting to hear about the exciting developments at your school! As someone who has been down the route of issuing laptops or tablet PCs to all our pupils (Ardnamurchan H.S.), I would love to have a chat sometime should our paths cross!

Well done, Ian. You've been busy, and it's paying off for your students. We here in Georgia, USA, are just a wee bit jealous, but we are excited about working together with you. I think we've much to learn.
