Return of the Binge Blogger
I have been spurred into action again by two events recently. Firstly we have begun to work on putting together a team of students, staff and parents to run our school website. If I can show those who think they need to be able to write in “techie stuff” how easy the software is to use, we should be in business.
Secondly I spent a day at the Scottish Learning Festival. My colleague, school librarian at Preston Lodge High School, and I caught the ELC bus from Haddington at 7.00 am on Wednesday 19th September - definitley the most relaxing way to get to the SECC. Thanks to whoever decided to organise transport. I was signed up for two sessions on information literacy, which were as informative and relevant as I had hoped. I also manged to get into another session which I hadn’t signed up for. It was called Books 4 All and was an update on research by the CALL Centre of the University of Edinburgh on ways of assisting students with additional support needs. I came away armed with information about free or inexpensive solutions to make life easier for people. I intend to post my notes from the day on the blog soon.
