ALL London branch   

 

	To Nick Byrne from the LSE for arranging such a great venue (and to Mike for making sure the IT worked!)
To the committee who worked behind the scenes
	To Leigh McClelland, Joe Dale and Rachel Hawkes for being absolutely inspirational speakers (and all-round entertainers!)   Click here to see Joe's lovely account of the morning and his 'after care' service in the form of notes and audio files.  Thanks so much Joe!
To David Wilson, ALL's President, for supporting the event and giving us some wise words at the close.

 

The Webmistress decided to be the class swot, and has put into action IMMEDIATELY one of Joe Dale's '10 Whizzo Tricks'.  You can see her first ever published 'Photo Story' capturing stills from the Event and demonstrating some of the features of this freely-downloadable programme e.g. adding text, varying transitions, and adding music.  She's too shy to add narration (!!).	Click on the clapper board to open the file, which is a wmv file. (3 minutes 4 seconds!)
Click on Nick to see the event come to life! (Should open with Quick Time - about 2 minutes' worth - click 'back' to avoid seeing it again and again and again, and contact Webmistress if you can tell her why this happens ...!!) Some video clips were captured by Nick Mair & Helen.  Nick's videos are on their way, meanwhile, look at a few clips from Helen's digital camera.  (It's the first cut - not fancy, but Helen's very proud of learning how to combine Quicktime movies .. so no reduction in original quality.)
Click on this link to see 2 more videos courtesy of Nick. clip 1 - Helen enthusing about Joe clip 2 - David Wilson outlining the role of ALL at a representational level. (sorry - Helen didn't time this well so some people had to leave)	www.dulwich.org.uk/ALL

Here are some positive comments and observations from the day taken from some emails sent to us ... it's nice to get feedback!

Thank you for all the hard work you and the executive committee put into yesterday’s meeting to make it exciting. Rachel and Leigh were completely inspirational and Joe was, as always motivational. .......

..... I would really encourage you to join up to your local branch of ALL and get along to their meetings, you will go away with new things to teach your very ordinary (ie not exceptionally well behaved, well motivated classes!) on Monday morning..... Jen S

I really enjoyed the event. It was great to see so many teachers on a Saturday morning. Joe D

First, thanks for organising such a wonderful event today. I was really inspired by both speakers to improve my own practice, and that of my colleagues. I’ve got loads of good ideas to give them. It was well worth giving up my very precious Saturday morning for! .....I’m looking forward to the next ALL event!   Gill V

a great day Nick M
