Caireen http://www.goddardpayne.com blog: '...this is what students having agency in their own learning looks like. This is what happens when you place great trust and responsibility in student's capacity to be thoughtful, respectful, sensitive and creative: they never, ever let you down. ...fully implemented, they [the entitlements] are capable of transforming a previously 'top-down' hierarchy, into a real, democratic learning environment, and creating a genuine learning commons out of a high-performing, but ultimately disengaging, learning enclosure. And, if you could do just one thing which would fundamentally change the learning relationships in your school, do this.']]> tag:www.goddardpayne.com,2011:/we-like//4.130 2011-02-08T16:54:01Z 2011-02-08T17:11:49Z

Caireen http://www.goddardpayne.com "I wasn’t always the best of students. But I joined the student commission and my perspective of learning changed. I can appreciate it, I can lead it and I can help others love learning like I do.” “Now I know there is surface learning and deep learning. Surface learning is accepting the answers whereas deep learning is going into the answers, finding out where they originate, how they work and what impact they have.”]]> tag:www.goddardpayne.com,2011:/we-like//4.128 2011-01-12T11:39:52Z 2011-01-12T11:59:07Z

Caireen http://www.goddardpayne.com I love that my little one (Lucas, 3) flicks about with my iPhone like he's a grown up, but this week I found out he'd clocked up sixty quid selling virtual cookies in a virtual bakery. That I love not so much. free bakery app the other day and I duly punched in my password for him to download it. But I didn't authorise a purchase. So, I contact apple to let them know and get the money refunded. I get a lovely response from Abhi who tells me she is very sorry that I am disappointed ("Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as exciting as possible") and she will look into the matter. Next day I get another email which says: "Caireen, I checked your account very carefully and found that you have accidentally downloaded some in apps of the app. An in app is a piece of content or service that can be purchased from within an application. This Add on enhances the Application with additional features. To learn more about in apps, please read the article below: iTunes Store: About In App Purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4009 If you'd like, you can disable in-app purchases, by following these steps: 1. Tap the Settings icon on your device. 2. Tap General. 3. Tap Restrictions. 4. Set in-app purchases to "off" However if you would like to get refund for this, please write back." So, it turns out that because I put my password in to download the app (which was free) that means using this in-app thing my son could happily clock up a whole load of purchases without the need for my authorisation at all. VERY VERY BAD and VERY CHEEKY. So, obviously I disabled the in-app thing (and on my seven year old's iPod Touch) and asked Apple for a refund - which they agreed to ("Nothing makes Apple happier than to hear that we have pleased our customers").]]> tag:www.goddardpayne.com,2010:/we-like//4.121 2010-08-03T19:38:44Z 2010-08-03T19:53:33Z

Caireen http://www.goddardpayne.com We have taken on a major new project. A 1930s house half a mile from the sea in the village of Ovingdean (where we live now). It is in a sorry state and we have made it our mission to revive it and create a fab home. Oh, and we have to move in at the end of September. Mmm.

Caireen http://www.goddardpayne.com View image We're so chuffed that Shelley Wilson, illustrator extraordinaire, has designed us another lovely Christmas card this year. In case you hadn't realised, depicting the Royal Pavillion and a rather lovely looking (large) family messing about in the gardens. Merry Christmas to you all from brilliant Brighton (currently covered in snow, quickly turning to slush). ]]> tag:www.goddardpayne.com,2009:/we-like//4.96 2009-11-05T12:05:16Z 2009-12-18T18:45:13Z

Caireen http://www.goddardpayne.com The launch of Learning about Learning @ NESTA on 21 October was fantastic (and definitely worth all the hard work). The room was crowded with lots of brilliant people, including 14 Student Commissioners from Harris. The best bit of the event by far was the panel session with four of the students. Watch it (and the rest of the contributions to the event) on the NESTA website.]]> tag:www.goddardpayne.com,2009:/we-like//4.93 2009-09-25T11:36:14Z 2009-09-25T11:43:19Z
