Inservice+chat

Here you can give a brief outline of what you did on your inservice and whether you would recommend it to anyone else. Plus any 'whiz-bang' new stuff you MAY have came away with!

Hi everyone, Diana and I have been attending a grammar course during term 1. If you are interested in more information or some ideas in teaching Grammar in your modelled or guided reading/ writing lessons let us know. Kerry

Diana and I attended 2 all day courses on using the Interactive Whiteboard. The course gave us the mechanics on how to use the ActiveStudio program and already I have used it to create a few simple activities (including rainy day games). It was a great 2 days and well worth attending. I know I have benefitted as I have a whiteboard in my room and contrary to media hype, the course content is relevant no matter what program you are using. Am hoping to get the opportunity soon to see how other schools use the IWB in their day to day lessons. Bonnie
