Gave Ayesha some support on her PPoint presentation for an observed lesson - suggested ways in which the materials might be presented in an accessible way and also reminded her of how the colour tool can be used to highlight word stress.

Working on sorting the existing IT pages/handouts on the ESOL homepage - task proving to be most time-consuming!

Met Nikos and discussed ways in which he could blend ICT into a 16-19 class. Suggested and showed him the NLN materials on the homepage.
also suggested useful websites for EFL sts and we discussed how to present these to the class on the projector - following up with a w/sheet that sts could use at a later date.

Organised a training session on the new Student Portal with Penny Langford and on tablet use with Wendy Peskett. 19 of ESOL team attended.

Penny demonstrated the new Portal, showed us how to set up the new discussion board facility and explained about how to get materials uploaded to the MLE. Members of the team expressed interest in this - so will try and arrange a training on it for those 'keenies'; before we are obliged to do it.
Wendy then went on to do her Tablet training - exploiting the tablet for classroom use which she had previuosly delivered when we received our tablets in June.

It all went very well and I received very positive feedback from the team!

Feedback from Ayesha:
Hi Liz,

Successful first attempt!

Thank you,
ayesha.

Met again with Ayesha - we devloped a lesson using ICT in the classroom.

She is goign to have a practice with the projector in tonight's evening class. (1hr)

Ayesha and I met again (briefly) to discuss an IT worksheet she has produced. Have scheduled another session next week to help her with planning a lesson incorporating the projector and tablet in a normal classroom lesson.

ESOL Homepage – one link to worksheets (ESOL IT/IT) regigging of mats – Liz to do. We discussed the idea of a generic homepage for all ESOL sites (with ILPs / proformas etc) to be discussed at Standard. meeting. When this is completed – advertise to teachers.

Diversity on SLW – Should we place work on the recent projects on the portal? Liz wonders if it will be used? Liz to mention in 16-19 meeting and get feedback.
Find Archive – Passages of Asylum/What it means to be British/First Impressions of GB then create some Q sheets for sts to navigate to

Identified members of the team who might like to trial ILT in classes and emailed them offering my support. Had meeting with Ayesha to discuss what she's working on at the moment - Worksheets to go with the Reward program in c184 to make them more productive and definitive. Sts can measure what they are doing against others rather than just surfing around a unit. Ayesha is going to continue with this.
Suggested ways in which she could blend ICT into normal classes - showed her some of my examples. We have arranged to meet again and discuss what she'd like to try. Aim to provide her with projector training.
