Our first Twitdoc



This is our first ever live Twitter documentary using the excellent TwitCam service. We broadcast live to the Twitterverse from Delfina this morning as we made our sculpture inspired by the London skyline with artist Claire Burnett. It was really easy to set up and we even managed to attract the interest of four other tweeps. I'm writing this from the event about half an hour before the guests arrive. The space looks amazing, the dancers are ready, the primary school kids have arrived and our sculpture is almost ready. It's been a great day and the student members of the ARG have learned a lot about abstraction, working to a tight deadline and collaborating on a difficult brief. Here's another Twitdoc from later in the day:

New Creative Tallis website

In response to the Leadership Team's thoughts on promoting creative learning at Tallis, I have made a website called Creative Tallis. The idea is to pull together as much information about creative learning as possible, both in school and out, to create a one stop shop which can be used for staff training, sharing best practice with other schools and providing up to date information to all our stakeholders. The site is not complete yet (I suspect it may never be, such is the nature of rapid developments in school) but I thought you may like to take a look at what's there so far and give me some feedback. Please let me know if links don't work or you think things are in the wrong place. I'd also like to know if you think the information is useful and accurate. If you spot anything I've missed or forgotten about (or just not got round to including yet) please let me know and I can make a list. I thought it best to register our own domain names so we now have exclusive use of creativetallis.com and creativetallis.co.uk. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
