'Worry hat' is an excellent tutor time activity: Eachstudent writes worries on paper for only tutor to see.Summary is shared. #ukedchat

Always nice to have guidance from school. Teachersshouldnt be expected to fend for themselves duing tutortime... #ukedchat

20:02:06 nmckain

I see my form for 20minutes in the morning. Notices andregister can take up a lot of time! What about you guys?#ukedchat

20:02:31 Jivespin

Tutor time - 15 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes inthe afternoon within that we have two assemblies perweek #ukedchat

20:03:04 nmckain@SWGfLLaura What support do you get? Depends onthe guidance being good... #ukedchat

20:07:47 WithoutMotive

@nmckain Im IT support and sit between two formrooms. I hear the register, notices and thats all. Its

wasted time. #ukedchat

20:08:06 Jivespin

If there is an interesting news story then BBC Newswebsite playing a short clip is superb way of igniting adiscussion #ukedchat


For example (prev tweet) countries (week 1 cook a dishand share) (week 2 present about sport) (week 3 playmusic from) etc #ukedchat

20:08:16 nmckain@ukcreativeed Sounds good. Have you got anyexamples to share? #ukedchat

20:08:46 Jivespin @nmckain I wish! Took ages to put the quiz together.#ukedchat

20:09:31 kohlmand

#ukedchat I copied @askaroundjb - a thunk from littlebook of thunk by @ThatIanGilbert each morning- theyanswer register with opinion.
