I have always been a goody two-shoes and the older I get the more I regret that. So I am so chuffed with the (albeit mild) problems I've caused. While talking to my top set year nines about numu (their starter activity today was to write a profile for numu which they're going to type in for homework) they complained that they couldn't use numu in the ICT rooms because it had been blocked by the school. They went on 'yeah miss, all the interesting sites have been blocked, bebo, youtube, msn, numu...'
numu has evidently 'arrived' at Sheffield Park!
So I will be making a trip to the ICT network guy's office on Monday.

Hi there
I'm a teacher at another school in Sheffield, and we're currently heavily pushing numu to the students - both in an out of lessons. It could be great to get a bit of inner-city rivalry going between our labels!
Sounds brill! What's your label called? What kind of school is it?
I'm thinking of hosting a numu workshop soon, perhaps you'd like to be involved? I was thinking of inviting teachers from other schools.....
www.numu.org.uk/highstorrs is our label - it's mostly just lesson-based stuff at the moment (pages for different classes in 'projects') - but I've made a load of posters this week in an effort to encourage kids who are in bands to create profiles and upload tracks.
Email me at jamesrcross(removethisbit)@gmail.com if you like - it would be great to encourage more teachers in Sheffield to get involved in numu - setting up a workshop would be a great idea! I'm showing some trainee teachers at Huddersfield uni the site tomorrow, the word needs to be spread!
