18. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am lucky once again to be speaking at the ICT and Languages Conference (or #ILILC3 as it is known on twitter) at the University of Southampton on 9th-10th February 2013 and I can't wait! The excitement on twitter is everywhere, I have already saved the hashtag #ILILC3 (and un-protected my tweets) in order to follow every tweeps and tweets about the conference.</span><br />
19. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">For those of you who don't know about #ILILC3, it is quite simply the highlight of my CPD calendar, a great place to meet lots of like-minded people, some already part of the #mfltwitterati and some who will soon become part of the best MFL staffroom in the world! </span><br />
20. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I received the <a href="https://www.languagessoutheast.ac.uk/events/ict-and-languages-conference-2013-ililc3" target="_blank">programme </a>a few days ago, wow! How do I divide myself in 2 or 3! So many great sessions at any one time!</span><br />

22. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;">The sessions include:</span></span><br />
23. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Mobile technologies  </strong>Using iOs android Apps for interactive learning, iTunes, Podcasts and other for personalised learning, designing an MFL App, ‘Animating’ grammar. peer and self assessment through mobile technology</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Social Media  </strong>Using Twitter and other social media tools such as Edmodo & Posterous, effective Blogging, WIKIs and using online tools to record & share learning</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Making the most of Web 2.0 Technologies  </strong>A range of workshops to showcase how to get the best learning from Web 2,0 tools such as exploring Google Apps, using Tarzia, Vocaroo, and Voicethread to name but a few </span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The Global classroom  </strong>Developing and using international links effectively, eTwinning, using authentic materials, developing ICU through online resources, setting up a WIKI to promote your department, using Edmodo, the changing face of CPD</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Developing Speaking</strong>   Explore ways to develop pupils speaking skills through social media, on line tools, A level debating ideas, recording methods and more</span></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Closing the gap  </strong>Way to support SEN students using technology, supporting speech and language development, promoting Solo taxonomy, developing Maths skills through MFL, understanding the learning process, subtitling for learning</span></span><br />

26. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
27. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Personally, I will run 2 sessions, the first called 'Web 2.what?' I remember, a few years ago asking myself the exact same question! Little did I know that 3 or 4 years later, web 2.0 would form an integral part of my teaching day-to-day routine.</span><br />
28. <span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The second session is about wiki creation, 'What, this is YOUR website miss?' will show you how to create a wiki for your students, for your colleagues, your school which will, no doubt help you raisde the profile of the MFL department.</span><br />

She is extremely approachable, she smiles a lot and definitively knows her stuff. The kind of nice, honest person you would actually, wait for it, want to sit at the back of your classroom!</span></span></div>

But now this is real, today is the 1st of February and &lt;a href=&quot;http://joedale.typepad.com/integrating_ict_into_the_/2011/10/ililc-2012-quality-cpd-on-a-budget.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;#ililc2&lt;/a&gt; is 24 days away! Yes, if you haven&#39;t signed up for THE CPD event of the year, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.languagessoutheast.ac.uk/events/ict-and-languages-conference-ililc-2012&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ICT and Languages conference &lt;/a&gt;will be held at the University of Southampton on the 25-26th February 2012. Last year&#39;s ILILC was probably one of the best CPD I had ever had and this year I feel very&amp;nbsp;privileged, me little me, to be presenting 2 sessions one on the use of web 2.0 in the classroom and one about wikis. If you are on twitter and follow the &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/#!/joedale/mfl-twitterers&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;#mfltwitteratti&lt;/a&gt; you will have seen so many tweets about #ililc2 because we just can&#39;t wait! Last year, the CPD was great but it was also amazing to meet so many tweeps in really life and this year&#39;s conference is going to be bigger and better!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I joke about it with my classes and tell them that putting their hand up actually disables their listening skills! I thought, surely that just not me and after discussing it with my staff, you&#39;ve guessed it, it wasn&#39;t! So...we are launching C3B4ME, I heard &lt;a href=&quot;http://chrisharte.typepad.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Chris Harte&lt;/a&gt; reminding me about this last year at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webdoc.com/documents/C4E45CA6-1250-0001-D374-DD67D87013DF&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;#ililc&lt;/a&gt; and I know it&#39;s a great idea. After searching high and low, I have finally found a car template font and created our own car registration C3B4ME template. The idea is that pupils are becoming more independent by using 3 other sources before asking their teacher, (similar to the 4 Bs - Book, Buddy, Brain, Boss). DM me on &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/#!/nessalovesshoes&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Twitter &lt;/a&gt;for more details.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I used to organise lots of meetings like this one (though not as big!) in my previous life as an AST in Bradford so I had been looking forward to it for weeks!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The event was organised by Jo-Rhys Jones (Hampshire LEA adviser) and Greg Horton (MFL AST at Wildern). I am very lucky to have Jo Biddle working in my team at school and she was one of the AST presenting the French session I attended. Ben Shaw, another AST was sharing his knowledge too.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;I didn’t know what to expect when I arrived at Wildern, but the room where we were having refreshments was packed.

I was really impressed by the turn-out on this cold Thursday afternoon, but I guess that an offer of free CPD delivered by ASTs is an offer that cannot be refused. Jo-Rhys Jones was keen for other schools to volunteer to organise a Show and Tell and I think I will take on the challenge, probably towards the end of the school year.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: windowtext; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 1pt; border-image: initial; border-left-color: windowtext; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 1pt; border-right-color: windowtext; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 1pt; border-top-color: windowtext; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 1pt; line-height: 115%; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-top: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Anyway, back to this afternoon Show and Tell!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-color: windowtext; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 1pt; border-image: initial; border-left-color: windowtext; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 1pt; border-right-color: windowtext; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 1pt; border-top-color: windowtext; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 1pt; line-height: 115%; padding-bottom: 0cm; padding-left: 0cm; padding-right: 0cm; padding-top: 0cm;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;It was the first time I was seeing el Señor Horton in action and I was extremely impressed by his introduction!
