Various!

What to do:

Inspired by this Cancer Research UK Tv Advert… I began to think what can I do… (As I am Muslim, I do not drink Alcohol.)


So I challenge you educators to TRY-ATHLON.

In September you must try the following things…12 in total! 4 School weeks in September- 3 a week. 

You can do them in any order you want!

If/when you complete your try-athlon, then maybe write a blog post/send a tweet and copy this post into it? Use the hashtag #TryathlonED

  1. Sign up a colleague to Twitter/Start your own blog/Join in on a Twitter chat
  2. Do what you been meaning to for such a long time- gym? club? cinema?
  3. Run a ‘Penless’ classroom for a day
  4. Go to a TeachMeet/Present at a TeachMeet/Organise a TeachMeet
  5. Skype/Google Hangout/Facetime an educator in a different location to you
  6. Do not use Tech/Internet for a whole day
  7. Try to use an activity/resource/app from this toolkit that you wouldn’t normally
  8. Make 5 positive phone calls home a day for a week
  9. Network with your local school colleagues- swap resources/stories/ideas
  10. Set an extended homework project like this–
  11. Make that display you been meaning to!
  12. Let your student(s) take your lessons for you!
Let me know how you get on!!
