Trafford 26th June 2007

Teachers, ICT co-ordinators and LA staff gathered to have a hands-on session focused on the New Framework for Literacy and Mathematics. Y5 Unit 5 'Narrative' started the session with attendees getting to grips with how to transfer slides from a video into a presentation package to make a multi modal presentation. We used Textease Presenter for that. Then onto multimodality where animation became the focus to make talking, moving books starting from controlled vocabulary and writing for a specific audience. The key here was that the ICT should not get in the way of the quality of the literacy!
The mathematics framework was dipped into using the Textease Draw tools to measure the angles of plain shapes and then on to using Textease Spreadsheet for graphical representation ... showing its dynamic updating.

Colleagues were finally shown where all of the resources sit to support all of this work.
