I have created an area in the Teachers Voice Moodle area for Primary ICT Co-ordinators to share ideas and information. It will also be used to provide access to materials.

Please email me julia.kossowska@birmingham.gov.uk if you want to join this area.  I need your first name, last name and email address and please let me know that you would like to join the Primary ICT Co-ordinators moodle area. 

You can log in as a guest user to see what this looks like - http://moodle.myvle.org/lpsg/course/view.php?id=38  there is an enrolment key "ict" without the quotation marks - but you will not be able to use the forums unless you log in personally.

I will add people from the Primary ICT Coordinators myclasses area and will email you to say that this is done.

Primary ICT Network Meetings - and scroll down for Science Network Meetings as well!

There are 2 Primary Network Meetings for ICT Subject Leaders, and others interested in increasing their use of ICT in the classroom would also be welcome to attend. These meetings will both run from 1pm to 4pm and will be hosted in schools. There is a draft agenda in each, but with space for contributions to be offered by schools. Although there will be some differences it is envisaged that there will be much in common and that people will choose to come to which is more convenient to get to. 7th March 2011- Meeting at Four Oaks Primary school Welcome and Introductions Using Moodle in school - Mark Benton Google Apps/ Google Docs – Steve Philp Useful websites and applications for History/Geography/RE – Julia Kossowska Sharing of useful resources/ideas - networking Further school contributions/ requests for input 14th March 2011 - Meeting at Paganel Primary School Welcome and Introductions - Steve Philp and Julia Kossowska Using Moodle in school - Mark Benton Google Apps / Google Docs - Zoe Ross The Cloud - Mark Allen Scholastic - Chris Ratcliffe Rising stars - Andrea Carr INCERTs - Ian Billups Camtasia - Steve Philp Espresso - Sam White Anithings - StripeySteve Discussion This meeting will then be followed by Teachmeet Brum If you would like to attend one of these meetings please complete this online form https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDZ1d1NMTlFKaTNBX19VWlN2ang5VWc6MQ to say which one and also let me know if you have something you would like to share on the day or email me julia.kossowska@birmingham.gov.uk     Invitation to the Primary Science Network Meeting @ Centre of the Earth   Primary Science Network Meeting - 4pm - 10th March 2011  This meeting will be held at the  Centre of the Earth, 42 Norman Street, Winson Green, Birmingham, B18 7EP We will meet Claire Treverton the centre's Education Officer who will talk to us about how the wildlife environment can be used to support the science curriculum, show us how the centre has to offer, and give us some ideas that can be used in your own schools as well.
