Access Network - June update
In recent weeks, Flashmeetings have taken place covering resources such as Honeycomb (from Softease) and the Books for All database of accessible print resources (CALL Scotland/LTS). Both sessions have been recorded; replays of which are available on request.
Learning and Teaching Scotland have been in discussions about suitable times for sessions on 'A Curriculum for Excellence' (ACfE) and Glow Learn. The ACfE session will take place mid-September/early October, with the Glow Learn meeting on from 4-5pm on Thursday, 4th September. The event introducing Twitter will be rescheduled for October. Suggestions for Autumn/Winter 2008 sessions are welcome.
The final Flashmeeting of the school year is for Access Science on Thursday, 19th June (4-5pm). Following this, CPD certificates will be emailed to all Spring/Summer term participants, listing sessions attended.
The face-to-face shared Development Meeting (SQA in attendance) which takes place at Hillside School, Aberdour after the summer (Friday, 5th September - now confirmed) will allow attendees to discuss centre-produced Access 1 and 2 materials with two SQA Access experts (20-30 minute slots). Access 3 materials and NABs can be discussed among Network members. There are still a couple of places available; email David at noble_d@hillsideschool.co.uk to join in. As this is a shared event, the cost will be minimal.
Finally, if you have not taken part in any Access Network activities this school year but are on the contact list, please click on 'COMMENTS' below and indicate one change in circumstances (within the Network's control) which would enable you to take part during the next session.

This looks fascinating but there doesn't appear to be any way to 'access' what you're doing.
Let me in!!!! Please??
Hi Alan
Please email me at noble_d@hillsideschool.co.uk with what you would like to join in with.
I am not sure what I need to do or which web address I should use to take part in the discussions. I am interested in taking part in discussions regarding Mordern Languages.
Hi J Liddle
Great to hear that you would like to take part in an Access MfL meeting. We haven't run one yet, so that could be one for the Autumn term. To register to participate, please email me at noble_d@hillsideschool.co.uk with your name, school, and subjects taught.
