Product reviews for Oops!

'Oops!' - one of the easiest educational books to read, it had me intrigued from the start. Simply put, this book is a must for any teacher who gives a damn about the engagement of their pupils. It encourages the reader to find the hooks and the links to make learning fun and perhaps happen unnoticed. The ideas and techniques are simple yet effective and although they need a bit of planning and forethought, they are not rocket science.

This book inspires the reader to be a Dolphin and ditch the Sleeping Bear syndrome. This is the way to teach, no doubt about it. It's like disguising medicine in a sweetie - makes it easier and more pleasant to swallow. All the examples given are linked with questioning the learner and the use of high, open and fat questions. It provides ideas that can be adapted to suit any and all subjects, projects or ideas in classes.

I would recommend that all new teachers read this book to get a flavour of what will make them great, and all established teachers read it to get their innovative and creative juices flowing again. A perfect summer read.
