I'm so looking forward to catching up on this!
Tens of thousands watched last weekend's brilliant speakers live, from all around the world. Now you can catch-up on any you missed, entirely free of charge. languageshowlive.co.uk/talks…
Love this, I only just started using one note myself. I can see the potential of using one note for classrooms, if your school has enough tech devices and wifi capability / computer rooms. Amazing! 🤩
Live marking taken to the next level using @OneNoteEDU ✍️. I mark Pupils work on the laptop with the stylus, and it appears simultaneously with their screen. I can then question them about why they think their answer is right/wrong in real time 🤩 #MaidaValeSchool #MFLchat

this is the guy who should have his own statue in Bristol: Paul Stephenson, who in 1963 led the Bristol bus boycott

This is fab. Will definitely make some resources with this. Just spent far too much time listening to Occitan and Corse. What fantastic languages!

I did a short course in Black British History at @GoldsmithsUoL and what I learnt, reflected on and thought about sharpened my world view and deepened my understanding of my Black British culture. ✊🏾
Goldsmiths is launching the first MA in Black British History: explore 500 years of people, events and ideas from the black Tudors, abolitionists and Victorians to Windrush gold.ac.uk/news/ma-black-bri…

looks useful
Here's my current big idea for encouraging extended spontaneous speaking - after structured practice, get pupils to answer Qs in pairs with an added target structure 'challenge' decided at random. Differentiate by allowing pupils to take on more/fewer 'challenges' for each Q.
Love these, discovered them last year.
