Being the kind, generous sort, the guys at Do-Be have produced a full Teach-It lesson resource focusing on the terrible events in Japan over the last 2 weeks.

The lesson uses Google Earth to visually explore the impact of the Earthquake, Tsunami and subsequent nuclear threat at Fukushima 1.

Click the Teach-It logo above to download the resource and add it to your Teach-It pack, or print it out and use it – then get in touch if you want to resource our great range of lesson ideas in Teach-It 1 and Teach-It 2.

Do-Be Positively Impacting Teacher Training

Thursday, March 10th, 2011



We were sent this lovely commendation and evaluation from a recent Scottish Borders training session carried out by our very own Stephen. Interested or thinking about working with us? – read on…

Hi Stephen,

Thank you very much for your excellent input at our Do Be It Training for our primary probationers at Langlee CPD Centre last week. The probationers really enjoyed the day and gained so much from it. They were all buzzing about it and I know they will be using what they learned back in their schools. A lot are keen to share back with their colleagues in school.

I have attached the evaluations from the day. I hope you find them useful. You will see they are extremely positive!

We would like to book a similar session for next year with next year’s probationers. We may have fewer numbers of probationers so depending on numbers we might even try to have primary and secondary together if that would be possible?

Thanks again.

You are doing a great job!!

Fiona

When Will Santa Get Here?

My youngest son, Finn just asked me ‘when will santa get here?’…..and he sat in utter amazement as I showed him.  Most people know about the Norad Santa Tracker Site – but for those of you that don’t check it out – it provides up-to-the-minute information on Santa’s journey.  Finn loved the videos and being able to track him on Google Earth – it was a great way to talk about the different countries he had already visited.  You might also want to follow Norad Santa on Twitter.

Merry Christmas everyone :-D
