MFLSAT+ Cramilington Learning Village

WOW!
I have got so many ideas from this session.  Not really quite sure where to start.

Simon Cloughlin showed how to use this fantastic App to record pupils and post to a website.  Very personlised and nice to have feedback for parents.  Need to download app on phone from website and it's ready to go.  The recording is availble on the web pretty instantly. 


Newcastle University have lots of resources on their website to support learning. 
linguacast - podcasting materials
teacherstoolkit - a range of PowerPoint and Word files

Terri Dunne reminded us of all the different ways to use Blockbusters.  The grid format could be used for individual words and for sentences starters.  Really useful for getting pupils to extend their sentences, especially adding opinions and could be used to add different tenses. 

Dominic McGregor - 10 ideas in less than 10 minutes.  This was a whistle stop tour of some fantastic websites that can be used in a variety of ways.  I particularly like FakeBook & Twister from http://www.classtools.net/.  Others included http://clea.nr/ to clear out the advertising on Youtube.

MFLSAT+

I am really looking forward to meeting all the lovely people I have emailing and talking to on twitter.   I am doing a very short session on small curriculum changes to motivate at KS3.  This has been in the most part chosen by the pupils in my classes.  I do make changes every year, based on their evaluations. 

I am also taking with me a lesson idea that can be easily adapted to any year group on any topic.  All you need is a text and a few questions.

More ideas from MFLSAT later

I have just sorted through all my favourites on twitter and am trying to word out how to put some of the links on here.  I am just preparing some revision work with Y10 Spanish and have decided to use some resources from @ZJonesSpanish of Dali vs Gaga.  Here's the link http://zachary-jones.com/zambombazo/lady-gaga-vs-salvador-dali-comparaciones/. 

I will let you know how it goes

This blog is hopefully going to contain useful information for anyone interested in learning languages.
