The Access Network - participants prepare...

Going into the final couple of days before the first (trial-run) FlashMeeting for The Access Network, I have, this week, been emailing those who have registered to either: provide them with technical information for themselves and IT Support; provide a free webcam and headset for the 21st June 'meet up' (15 colleagues so far have indicated that they will attend); check that everything is OK with the 15 colleagues who are 'attending' the 14th June conference; and giving others a brief update ie that I'll be back in touch at the end of August with the topics and curriculum areas lined up to be covered in the Autumn term FlashMeetings (of which should be at least 4, very varied).

The vast majority of respondents have indicated that they wish to try an online conference. So far 5 have stated that in-room meetings would also be helpful. I will keep a check on this.

As we stand at Monday lunchtime, 91 teachers from around Scotland have indicated an interest in this project.
