On Friday 20th June I attended the SSAT Lead Practitioner Conference where I learnt more about my new role as Lead Practitioner. I am an Option 1 Lead Practitioner which means among other things I will be running a seminar around November time at a cost of £69 per delegate.
I will post more information on the seminar at a later date but the general theme will be looking at the Control strand of the ICT curriculum in which I will explore (with practical activities) Lego Mindstorms NXT and Scratch games programming, finishing by giving out some useful teaching resources.
In addition to the seminar I will also be networking with other ICT teachers virtually through this blog, my website and a social network I have set up on ning.com. If you’d like more information post a response this this post.
Hi Nicki,
Would be interested in attending this conference on Control, as it is something I have yet to teach but will be at my new school. Co-incidentally, I am currently at Sandwich Tech, but moving to Chatham House, and believe our schools share practice in some areas – I would be very interested to share examples of excellent practice and forge a good working relationship with you, as I believe its in the best interests of all students!
Hi Ben
Great to hear from you! I was beginning to wonder whether anybody actually read my blog! I have an online network set up for teachers of ICT in the South East where you will see updates on the seminar I will be holding.
If you give me your email address I will send you an invitation to join.
Thanks!
🙂 Yeah my school email is [email protected] although this will obviously change quite soon. My personal email is [email protected]
Keep up the good work on the blog!
