About sdvaughan

After managing an MFL department for 10 years in London, I now share my teaching and learning knowledge as a trainer and (I'd like to think) motivator of MFL teachers. Always on the look out for new ways to bring learning to life. I consult for a number of clients including ALL, TES, MYLO, Teachit, CCCU and Netwroik for Languages SE.

ALL Network meeting Tues 10th March

Here is the presentation from last night regarding supporting SEN and extending more able kids.  It’s very brief and most of the materials are web based.  Links should all be within the PPT.

Ideas for supporting and extending in MFL

We also had a play around with the Ipads and Kahoot! which is a great online tool for instant feedback.

https://getkahoot.com – have a play around with it here.

Thanks to all those who attended for their contributions.
