= = =ESF early closure days 2009-10.=

All secondary school in the ESF will be closing early for 4 days in the academic year 2009-10. The aim of these days is that curriculum groups can get together to develop collaboratively. The DT Curriculum Group opted for a workshop model; the opportunity to spend more time with colleagues developing the ideas shared at the INSET day on October 5th. This was the overwhelming request by staff so we have tried to accommodate it to some extent in these early closure days.

The dates are:


 * Friday December 11th
 * Friday February 5th
 * Friday May 7th
 * Friday June 11th

There are a number of workshops available as follows:


 * Sha Tin College: Google Sketchup (contact Richard Atkinson), Wikispaces (contact Tim Ford), Moodle (contact Jutka Czirok).
 * Island School: Digital Portfolios (contact Matthew Smith).
 * South Island School: Moodle (contact Matt Weaver)
 * King George Vth: Google Sites (contact Mel Walton or Jane Ford)

The format is simple:


 * Start time is at 2:00.
 * Duration between 1 to 2 hours depending on need and availability.
 * There will be a workshop leader present who will coach you.
 * You need to attend with a task or project in mind.
 * You can can attend different workshops as you wish.

All HKDT staff are welcome to come along. All you need to do is contact the workshop leader or Head of Deparment concerned. You may just want to pop in to have a look around or perhaps see how other classroms have been set up and equipped. You can discuss this with the relevant person. The contact details are all here or use the link on the left.

ESF staff can register attendance using the Gateway.

If you are planning any form of staff development in your own school or independently, please do consider inviting the HKDT group, we all benefit in the long term!

Many thanks.
