I haven’t been very active on my blog recently, nor on Twitter, as I have frantically been preparing for my AST assessment which was yesterday. I’m pleased to report that I passed and am \u00a0now officially an Advanced Skills Teacher.<\/p>\n
Well that was my first piece of good news, the second is that it’s nearly that time of year again . . . . . on 24th November is the 8th Microsoft Partners in Learning Forum at the Microsoft Campus in Reading. This was a fantastic event last year and is also free! You can check out the video from last year here<\/a>.<\/p>\n This year I am lucky enough to be delivering a workshop with the fantastic\u00a0Ray Chambers<\/a> from Lodge Park Technology College called “Kinect and Kodu, A Games Based Approach”. Ray will be highlighting the excellent work he has been doing with Kinect in his classroom and I will be talking about the use of Kodu to make games in different contexts.<\/p>\n Other workshops include:<\/p>\n You can read in-depth information about these workshops at the Partners in Learning Website<\/a>. From reading the descriptions of each of these workshops I’m sure the Forum will prove to be yet another outstanding event, I just wish I could attend all of the workshops myself!<\/p>\n You can sign up to the event directly here<\/a>. I look forward to meeting some of you there on 24th November!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
