This week I am giving a workshop at the SSAT National ICT Conference. The focus of my presentation is how to combine the need to give the curriculum a global dimension with finding ways to give ICT tasks a real sense of audience and purpose.

For a food loving person like myself a web tool called del.cio.us was too good an opportunity to miss!

How to set up Flashmeeting
Flashmeeting is a very basic video conference application. It does not require any specialised software except flash (version 7 or above). You can communicate using a microphone. You can use a webcam as well

I'm an ICT teacher, AST and SSAT Lead Practitioner. This means that I borrow ideas from anyone I meet and try them out on my long suffering students! If any of them work, I then share them with as many other teachers as I can.

ICT is still only a baby subject, but it is growing rapidly. The majority of ICT teachers still don't have any qualifications in this core subject (me included). Meanwhile, our students are rapidly becoming more advanced in using ICT effectively than we are.
