Online TEACHMEET


Tonight was another first for me...
David Noble organised the event: it was a live event ONLINE as part of the ACCESS NETWORK.
ASN is 'Additional Support Network'...
The speakers were as follows:

Angela Maiers - US Teacher, Literacy Consultant, Author, Speaker

Lisa Stevens - Primary MFL teacher, ADE, eTwinning Ambassador

Oscar Stringer - Expert in digital creativity

Iain Hallahan - Teacher at special school in East Renfrewshire
Bob Hill - Glow Mentor and ICT staff tutor in Dundee

Con Morris - The National CPD Team, Glasgow

Hilery Williams - Dyslexia Support Service, East Lothian

This is a possible way of supporting geography teachers by holding a live event and letting

 teachers log in and discuss things.

First session was on the Scottish Intranet called GLOW. This was very much part of the Scottish Learning Festival that I attended last October.

Con Morris talked about National CPD team's work

Hilery Williams discussed some work on dyslexia and helping learners with visual learning

Oscar Stringer talked about digital creativity and animation.

Some excellent images of animations.... and also SAM ANIMATION 

Iain Hallahan talked about Smart Notebook and its use, and provided a list of additional links, which I shall put here as they may be of use:

Thanks to David for organising the event.

I have now upgraded my account to a 'booker' account, so I will probably have a go at organising a Flashmeeting sometime soon...
