I’ve been meaning to make this film for ages. It’s a simple time-lapse of a day in my classroom. My camera was mounted on a tripod and I used a fisheye lens to capture the whole room. The 700 photos were batch resized in seconds using an Apple Automator script and the film was made instantly in Quick Time Pro. I added the music in iMovie.
a day in the life of my classroom from Noel Jenkins on Vimeo.
The day started with a free period, so I’m on the computer doing some SEN reviews. I taught a lesson on floods to my year 7, then it’s break. Afterwards it’s my GCSE class doing a case study of Darfur, followed by Year 8s looking at different volcanoes. Lunch time is spent with the camera club then it’s registration and a final year 7 lesson.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Looks like a lot of fun Noel. Can I come join your class?!
Noel,
its fine that you have your own classroom. In Austria teachers are chancing the classroom for each lesson and have to do their other work at places like mine: http://www.rg16.at/~ktrinko/?Arbeitsplatz or at home. at the moment their is a big teacher-bashing in Austria and probaly we will have to work 10% more for free
Greetings
Kurt
Great stuff- really fascinating.
Nice video, Noel. I like the migrating desk, front of screen. Very geographical!
Fascinating and after a day ‘in the office’, I have withdrawal symptoms!
Thanks for the comments everyone. The day started with a free period, so I’m on the computer doing some SEN reviews. I taught a lesson on floods to my year 7, then it’s break.

Noel, saw a tweet about your video from @dajbelshaw and was amazed. Who needs to be evaluated when you can self-evaluate yourself seeing the groupings, the strategies, the movement of you and students througout a regular day! Did you do this with your camera/lens/etc or does it belong to your school? Hope to see you on Twitter.
