No seriously though, this is probably going to be a bit difficult for most A level students to grapple with. It’s also a bit political. But sociology is a political subject?  Anyway, I just thought it’s another resource which the teachers might like to have the option of dipping into occasionally.  Try it, urban culture TEACHING SOCIOLOGY 2010-03-15T20:24:00-06:00 http://www.tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/sociology/comments/teaching-in-the-information-age/ http://www.tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/sociology/comments/teaching-in-the-information-age/#When:17:18:00Z This posting is primarily for the teachers.  Check out this link to Becta, for which I have to thank my friend Warren Kidd.  The Becta pdf on C21 Teaching Skills provides a few checklists to test out whether you are a C21 teacher and a few tips and links to help you if you want to start making more use of ICT.  TEACHING SOCIOLOGY 2010-03-01T17:18:00-06:00 http://www.tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/sociology/comments/research-methods-resource/ http://www.tutor2u.net/blog/index.php/sociology/comments/research-methods-resource/#When:18:06:00Z Here’s a little resource that I’ve made which I hope will be useful. Thanks to my colleague Lord Sutch on Business Studies T2U for the idea. We teachers are noted for our ability to pillage. Teachers - there are a number of deliberate mistakes in this resource.  Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give this to your students and guide them through it.  From my recent exam marking experience, many students get confused about quantitative and qualitative methods, and validity and reliability.  The idea of this resource is to get it ‘hard-wired’ into their brains. Hope it works. Next week I will be away in the US on family business.  I will however try to do a few blogs for your delectation and delight.

I’m feeling a bit cheeky, so here’s something which is a bit difficult - but hey, it’s good to think. It’s from Marshall Berman’s book - All that Is Solid Melts Into Air.
