Bristol UK, Tuesday 1st November

Are you a history teacher keen to learn more about using the very latest ICT developments to enhance teaching and learning?
Would you like to spend the day developing your skills and producing some cutting-edge materials with a full-time classroom practitioner and author of ActiveHistory and Classtools?
I will be running a one-day, hands-on course giving practical advice at ComputerWorld Training Center, Bristol on how to integrate ICT effectively and easily into the history curriculum. I will share some of the very best tips, tricks and resources that are currently available.
Each delegate will not only receive their own computer for the day with full internet access, but also a wealth of resources on a 2GB USB Memory Stick to take away. In addition, a two-course lunch is provided. The course will cover:
• Web 2.0: How it can lighten our workload
• Words and Image Based Software
• "Cloud Applications" such as Google Apps
• Digital Video and Audio in the history classroom
• Podcasting, Blogging, Wikis, QR Codes
• Social Networking Tools (Facebook, Twitter) in the History Classroom

• Wikis: Benefits for assessment, monitoring and collaboration
• Tools for developing essay-writing skills
• 30 Tools in 30 Minutes
In the past five years I have trained over 350 history teachers all over the UK, the vast majority of whom have rated the courses as "excellent". |
