Using Diigo

I was lucky at the IoW Conference to be introduced to Diigo by Isabelle Jones who raved about how brilliant it is during the Show and Tell. This weekend, whilst preparing for my SSAT Lead Practice Seminar, I joined Diigo and created a group for colleagues in my area and delegates at today's event. I think it really helps to think of Diigo as a way of 'carrying around' your Favourites from Internet Explorer and being able to add tags to categorise your favourite sites is great! Today during the session it was clear that so many colleagues had websites and videos they would like to share - so let's do it! The Diigo group I set up is here!Thanks Isabelle for inspiring me and thanks Joe as ever for organising the fabulous conference.

With Good Candidates Success is Easy...but how do we get them there?

Final preparations are underway for my Lead Practice Seminar 'With Good Candidates Success is Easy - but how do we get them there?'

I am really looking forward to what I hope will be a really inspiring day of good practice, with great sessions from Eva Lamb, SSAT Lead Practitioner and Language College Director at King George VII School in Sheffield and Bernard Clark, Language College Director at Durham Johnston School.

There are still some spaces available and you can book online at www.ssatrust.org.uk/lpseminars

I hope this agenda gives you more food for thought..Download with_good_candidates_success_is_easy_agenda.doc
