Hi Maureen,
I second Aylin's thought thanking you for your dilligences in updating teachers with Conference content.
Nice work! Enjoy your role throughout this Conference, and all it entails.
Greetings from Portugal

Thanks for the write-up - I like the Wordle!
Differentiated Learning Supported by Technology - Amanda Wilson, Callie Wilkinson, Mike Harrison and Phil Bird.
Friday 15th April 2011, 11.30 - 12.25
These four teachers gave a very well coordinated and energetic presentation on differentiation supported by technology.
They used an interested metaphor to represent ESOL learners with spiky profiles - the London Underground map and travellers using the underground.
There were many other analogies to ESOL learners and they pointed out that occasionally there can be breakdowns in the network/system.
The four teachers told us about a number of exciting projects they had carried out with their learners using a range of technologies. I particularly liked the 'Word Clouds' and their link to the last talk and using the British National Corpus.
I will attempt to create a 'word cloud' and put it on this site - watch this space! The link is: www.wordle.net.
See my word cloud below - unfortunately it's not the right way up. Better luck next time!
