Highland Modern Languages Subject Support

What a privilege to meet up with ML teachers from our neighbouring Authority at Elgin Academy!  There were two sessions organised for ML teachers, each aiming to increase the use of ICT in languages classrooms: one session was led by a couple of people from Promethean who showed some of the applications of interactive whiteboards for language learning; the other session was by myself on using digital content as a motivator, blogging and podcasting.

Thanks to the enthusiastic staff who welcomed me and got invloved in the sessions I did.  My only regret was the lack of time - we could have had a whole day on each of the three areas I was looking at!!

For a very minor taste of what we did, here is a wee podcast we created in no more than about 2 minutes!  Click on the icon below to listen.
