Well, so far this term we've all been busy planning for new events, creating new materials, generating new ideas, and of course, teaching. Some of the exciting developments for the Subject Networks this term have included:
Working with the BBC's new learning tools which I hope will be available for all soon. They are really great in that they are instantly accessible and can be adapted for various purposes in the classroom. I used one of the tools to help structure an essay but by using the tools this became much more engaging for the students. The students also used one of the mind mapping tools to help them to independently plan ideas and revise topics.
There is a meeting scheduled with HMi to discuss Adult Literacy this week, and a seminar on Curriculum for Excellence in 2 week's time. Both of these events should be extremely informative and any developments will be posted on Practitioners Plus.
Events in December are already shaping up with a great conference focusing on HN Best Practice. I will be helping out at a workshop and I'm really looking forward to hearing some of your ideas.
By January the English, Communications and Media Focus Group will be meeting to share ideas, particularly focusing on Core Skills and to discuss plans for a subject specific event held at Scotland’s Colleges. Of course, any ideas would be greatly appreciated and any new members for the Focus Group would be very welcome.
As ever, keep in touch.
Best wishes, Claire
