Training ICT

I have been in Bucharest this last weekend to the Annual European eTwinning Conference. (www.eTwinning.net) I was running workshops on using ‘Flashmeeting’ (http://flashmeeting.e2bn.net)  the webcam video conferencing tool, promoting its use for European school collaboration. This session also included a presentation on a collaborative on line magazine production tool (magazine factory) Thomas Maier from European Schoolsnet demontrated the use of Blogs, wikis and podcasting. Lots of interesting sessions over the weekend and time to meet and network with colleagues. It was great to meet colleagues with such exciting ideas for using ICT tools in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning. Particular reference to Joe Dale, whom it was great to meet up with him again. He’s an inspirational blogger and podcaster with lots of ideas for using ICT in MFL teaching. I can recommend his blog. http://http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_// Well worth a look.
