Kent 4.0

Well !! What a fantastic four weeks in Kent working in 20 schools across the county on a vast variety of Textease curriculum contexts.

Firstly some thanks .... to Mandy Barrow for keeping me in line and coordinating the whole thing with James Watson of Softease; secondly to all of the schools who hosted events during the four weeks and who were so attentive and considerate to my needs; thirdly to the ranks of the Kent Advisory service who came along and supported the sessions and helped out with ideas and contexts; and lastly to the teachers for their enthusiasm and good nature as well as their over-riding professionalism which came through to me time and time again.

The sessions were meant to be fast-paced and exciting ( I do hope that they were) and to provide insights that 'got people going' and wanting for more. Now it is up to the excellent Kent 'Hands-On Support' team to help and nurture atendees over the next months.

The idea was that schools attending could opt to receive a full version of the Textease Studio CT free for the next six months so that, within each school context, teachers would be able to explore it within their own environment. Altogether I count that about sixty schools have taken up this offer and should soon receive the full software ( if they haven't already). If by some chance you were missed or you attended a session and would like to take part in this offer, please let me know.

Don't forget the vast amount of resources support you on the Kent Ngfl web site and those also available on the Softease site.

Finally, and again, my thanks to everyone who made my trips down into Kent so interesting and enjoyable ...
