Session Information and presenter:
ALL London organises webinars for the MFL community and this webinar, held in a Zoom room and also viewable on an unlisted YouTube stream, is open to all MFL teachers. We hope that you will like us and want to join!
We thank Joe Dale for co-ordinating the TiLT (Technology in Language Teaching) series of webinars, bringing together teachers who are interested in developing their use of technology in their teaching. As well as enhancing our skills, we also get to meet other ‘keenies’ from across the globe, and can get to know each other informally by chatting before, during and after the webinar.
We also thank the presenters, who give freely of their time and expertise. Where possible, most sessions are recorded and available for viewing later.
SESSION INFORMATION
This TiLT webinar is a review of @invacadmfl department’s learning journey over the past 12 months in and out of lockdown; learning, choosing and adapting shared practice from Twitter as appropriate to our context and the challenges we’ve faced as a department. I will cover the various tools and approaches we’ve used this year during the presentation, modelling how to create simple and effective activities using learningapps.org, flippity.net and MS quiz questions amongst other ideas.
WELCOME TO OUR PRESENTER
I have been Principal Teacher of Modern Languages at Inverclyde Academy since 2013. Having studied French and Italian at the University of Bath, I dabbled with accountancy for a year before returning to what I knew was right for me all along and undertook my PGCE in Manchester. My first post as an NQT was at a tiny school in Special Measures in the Midlands but then, in 2005, whilst on a maternity break from teaching, we relocated to just north of Glasgow. When I returned to teaching, I worked in a range of schools in and around the Glasgow area whilst also studying for the CCEd in Spanish at the University of Strathclyde.
I am enthusiastic about learning and love to share ideas and good practice, whether that is from my own experience or by facilitating others to do so. I love a ‘Teachmeet’ and instigated the inaugural cross-sector authority #TMInverclyde in 2017, followed by a second event in 2019 in addition to organising and leading numerous CPD events at my school. The online teaching community through Twitter has been a huge professional development resource for me in recent years, the #MFLtwitterati of course but also the wider teaching community.

01:04:33 Fatima Khaled: Is there a template of these forms for pupil voice ? Thank you.
01:04:34 Joe Dale: I am so pleased Sarah has agreed to present for us. Great tips
01:05:01 ALL London: @Fatima – I am sure we can ask Sarah if she can share template
