Presented by NAWE in partnership with Birmingham Book Festival, this day is aimed at writers with a track record of working in schools and other educational settings. 9 July 2008, 10-4pm, The Martineau Centre, Birmingham.
This seminar will be an opportunity to strengthen your skills as a writer
working in schools, particularly in the context of new technologies,
and will provide invaluable skills and experience sharing with other
writers in the field. Broken down into two sections, firstly it will
be a practical, hands-on session in which writers come together to
discuss common ground in their work together, and share tried and
tested ideas that they have used in their work in the classroom.
This
section will enable writers to take away a fresh set of workshop ideas
for various age ranges and purposes and have a chance to look at ways
in which they would like to take their career and professional
development further. The second half will be held in a state of the
art pc suite at the venue and consists of training led by ICT
consultant Paula Daniel on the effective and creative use of ICT (such
as interactive whiteboards) in the classroom to help writers make the
most of their time in schools.
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
There are 15 places available to NAWE members. Cost: £30
