@JamesClear's newsletter is probably the best content that I have ever read in my inbox. Priceless.
- David Fernández (@davidef_7) September 12, 2019

My mind when reading @JamesClear's weekly newsletter:

Oh wow. That's really good.
Whoa - I should tweet that.
Oh, no - I should tweet that instead.
Nope - just need to link to the entire thing.
How on earth does he create this good of content every week?

So good.

Kahoot quizzes are easy to build, visual and interactive. Loved by my adult learners. In particular the life scoreboard and the poduim et the end.
Accessible on a variety of digital devices. Free basic account for teachers.

Buy some lollipop sticks on Amazon and have a pot for each class. Write each student’s name on a stick and have the pot to hand.
Remove a stick each time you have a positive interaction with each student. As time goes by, the pot slowly empties and you will probably notice a small number of students left and you will be prompted by this.

This is a good soundtrack I put on in the background (loud enough to hear but quiet enough talk easily without having to raise your voice) when my learners are doing an art activity. I noticed it helps with focus and creating a calm relaxed atmosphere. I It's on a loop so can go on for ages and out of the many I have tried this is one of the best for not getting annoying after 2 minutes!

I have found this a very useful, free website for ESOL learners of all levels

It's an excellent application for learning words and phrases in a fund and interactive way( that includes terminology etc) You can create study sets or find someone else's study sets, and share them with your learners. Learners can also create their own study sets if they want to. The application works well both on a computer and on a smartphone. One issue is that learners also need an account to use it, but it's quite easy to sign up - just sign up for the free basic account only and ignore all "premium", "plus" etc offers.

Session 1:  Learners explored haiku poems with tutor.  Using tutor images, learners composed a "class" haiku.  They were then asked to use one of the class images/find their own image and compose their own haiku for sharing the following week.  Some learners were able to upload both their  image and poem the following week and share it with the class.

Following on from Joc's idea of revealing something in a bag. I have used an app which reveals a picture when you click on tiles. I wondered if you could do the same in Google Slides.

Writer David Chapman on how to improve your thinking:

"Learn from fields very different from your own. They each have ways of thinking that can be useful at surprising times. Just learning to think like an anthropologist, a psychologist, and a philosopher will beneficially stretch your mind."

On Repeat 2

On Repeat 2

Question time!

Why is the man having the same dreams again and again?

What do you think he means when he says it feels like his life is 'on repeat'?

How is the man going to change this cycle that he's in?

Why do you think there are birds and trees without leaves in his dream?

Why does it always rain on him in his dream?

Look at the surroundings. Where do you think his dream takes place?

How will the man make this dream disappear from his life?

Do you think the birds in his dream are also dreaming themselves?

Have you ever had a dream that you think might have a meaning?

Perfect picture!

Can you draw a picture of what your perfect dream would look like?

Story starter!

Every night he had the same dream. Every night he was stuck in the same cycle, doing the same thing, night after night.

In his dream he kept on walking. Round and round in circles he would go, trudging along the same, never-ending pavement again, and again, and again. It was like he was stuck on an enormous hamster wheel!

When he awoke each morning, startled by the feeling of being trapped that he experienced night after night, he would ask himself 'why do I keep having the same dream again and again?', but then it would dawn on him: his dreams were on repeat because it felt like his life was on repeat. Something had to change...

Sentence challenge!

Can you use a series of questions in your writing? Remember to use a question mark!

E.g. Why was he having these dreams? Did something in his life have to change? What could he do to break to cycle?

Sick sentences!

These sentences are 'sick' and need help to get better. Can you help? Could you add an adverb?

The man walked on the pavement. A flock of birds went past him. It was raining.

During these extraordinary times, our homes have never been more important.

We want to document how our home lives have changed during the coronavirus pandemic in the UK.

This new national collecting project will form part of the Museum of the Home's extensive Documenting Homes archive.

What does home mean to you right now?

How are you using your home? Does your living room now have multiple uses as a work place, school or gym? If you have any outdoor space what are you using it for?

Are you leaving home to carry out your role as a key worker? Separated from your family or loved ones? Spending considerably more time with your flatmates or family?

Our homes have never been more important.

How to take part in Stay Home

We want to hear from you. To take part we would like you to:

Answer 7 questions about you and your home

These are open questions about how you feel about your home during this time. Your contribution can be written or recorded.

Share up to 5 photos of your home

These can be of one room, several rooms or an outdoor space. We'd like you to tell us how you are using these spaces at this time.

Ideally include people in the photos. And don't tidy up!

Take landscape format

Take candid rather than staged shots

Use natural light

Avoid zooming in

Upload as large a file as possible

Provide some personal demographic information

There are some questions about you. Some of it is a little personal, but it is really useful to us.

The questions align with the way the UK Government will collect Census data in 2021. This allows us to compare the profile of participants with the general population. By answering these questions you will help us to know how we are representing our communities.

Share your diary entries (optional)

We would love to collect diary entries that span one month. Entries can be daily, every other day or weekly. Please email these separately to stayhome@museumofthehome.org.uk with your full name.

Permissions and copyright

Your contribution will become part of our Documenting Homes collection.

This is a constantly expanding archive with nearly 8,000 items. It represents homes from the 1900s up to the present day.

We plan to share the photos and experiences we collect on our website, social media channels and in the press, and showcase them in our galleries at the Museum of the Home. The collection will also be used for research purposes and be publicly accessible.

We will not publish full names or addresses. If you wish to protect the identity of yourself or others please ensure your photos don't show faces.

You will need to agree to the Archive agreement (pdf). This includes giving permission to publish your story and photos and gives the Museum of the Home copyright of your photographs.

If you are under 18 please ask for permission from your parent or guardian and ask them to complete the demographic information on your behalf.

How do you use online tools to:

offer a clear learning objective for each section - what will people be able to do after the lesson that they couldn't prior to it?

provide at least two ways for people to engage with the content - auditory, visuals, reading,  writing, an exercise?

provide prompts/  questions?

provide targeted examples for your audience's level?

clarify meaning?

provide ways for people to know if they grasped the main points

assess progress?

include a discovery element - what about this topic might be unexpected or new, what is a new way to think about this topic?

make the content emotionally and intellectually inspiring to increase learner engagement?

make connections to how this content applies to people's current world?

provide information about where to go if people want to learn more?

make learning accessible?
