After just a four day turn around, I've finished editing the audio from my presentation ICT - engage your MFL students with the tools THEY’re passionate about from Sunday afternoon at The Language Show 2007 in Olympia. Almost a carbon copy of my session at The SSAT Annual Languages Conference in Oxford last month, my PowerPoint does include a couple of new slides plus some more embedded audio for you to listen to.
Fortunately, the quality of the recording is much better this time due to a lack of a noisy fan in the background. I was also pleased that my laptop didn't go into hibernation as it did during the middle of my session at The Language Show 2006. Ooops!
The second downloadable mp3 file is an off-air recording which was originally broadcast on IOW Radio the day before The Isle of Wight Conference 2007 which I've included here as it fits in with the overall theme of the presentation. Hope you like it.
