Choose a student or small group of students will a specific challenge or difficulty that we can target planning and teaching for during this day. Bringing some assessment information to talk to may be appropriate (depending on the challenge).

Sharing our Literacy case studies ** Exploring the concept of identifying particular need of student and then pick on one or two to work on at a time.

Each person will share their case studies and gather ideas which they may be able to work with to target student need. We will discuss how ICT could support your work.

(eg teach it, pass it on etc) - What connections are there for the student? (people-place-relevence-application)

[|English/ Literacy, ESOL Online] || 11:00 ** ||  || Intro to resources, including processes like audio recording, examples of what teachers do and how to manage it in the classroom. How can we keep it simple and not make extra work? Can include things like sorting tech issues, updating browsers. What can my e-Learning acivity take the place of - what do we drop?) Can e-learning extend or enrich something that you are already doing?
 * Targeting specific needs with specific ICT experiences**

Some Examples of targeting resources to group and individual needs see right. What tools/strategies can teachers or students use? eg chart or graph or reflection or visual response - do I need to collect any data?
 * Connecting learning from the computer to learning outcomes**

Making the connection of what you are doing with the student(s) parent(s) eg txt sms blog private message Reading note books, reflection books, reflection on blog (have a guest blogger- student each day from the class).

//**Resources which can be modified for students**// Using e-learning resource, eg Spell City or blogging for a specific purpose rather than just getting students to use it. For example students have a goal that they are trying to achieve with Spell City. (Target time- long or short term) || People with similar case studies or similar interests in new learning may work together or you can work on your own to spend time with facilitator and colleague support to learn any new skills or to have some thinking time. Or you can explore one of the tools below.
