CGEA Google Group Activity 2012

What’s been happening with the Google Group so far this year?

Message Board

There has been a lot of focus on the development of the Foundation Skills Training Package.  If you weren’t able to attend the Elluminate sessions, you can still listen to them or you can read the briefing documents

 

Google Docs

Due to issues with the new look Google Group, some ‘how to’ documents were written and circulated to help new and existing members negotiate their way around the Google Group and the Network Files site.  These are now saved in the ‘how to ‘ folder in ‘CGEA 2011-2012 files’

 

Resources were saved to Google Docs for the following units:-

 

VBQU146

VBQU150

VBQU140

VBQU152

VBQU119

 

Plus activities on making pancakes, shopping lists, quantities, ESL activities and an activity to design your own shoes!

Sadly our moderation folder is still empty.  If you do any moderation within your organisation (or between organisations), please try uploading a few examples for other members to view.

Teaching Strategies for LLN Teachers

There’s an excellent article written by Sue Ollerhead in the latest edition of the Literacy and Numeracy Studies journal, which will be very interesting for any teachers working with ESL students with low level literacy skills.  It looks at the results of traditional teacher-led classes compared to less structured classes, which develop more according to what’s going on in the classroom.

You have to register for the Literacy and Numeracy Studies journal, which takes a couple of minutes, but it’s well worth it.
