Come and work at Woldingham!
Due to a combination of unusual circumstances we are currently looking for a full-time teacher of French and/or German to start in September at Woldingham School in Surrey. Woldingham is an independent girls' school for ages 11-18 and a fantastic place to teach. There is the possibility of appointing a suitably experienced and qualified applicant as Head of German.
You'll be able to work with motivated students in beautiful surroundings, and (most importantly of all!) have ample opportunity to develop your IT skills by working with us on blogging, podcasting and other exciting innovations. Languages staff each have their own teaching room equipped with IWB, and we have easy access to large ICT suites. Please contact me through this blog, or Liz Gillies, the Head's PA, on 01883 654205 for more details.

Woldingham School ICT Day
On Thursday 4th September staff had a great day at Woldingham, discovering more about the potential of ICT in students' lives. To kick off our Head of ICT, Joanna Winstanley, gave a presentation on basic skills covered by all our students in years 7-9. It is a great help to see what students' skills already are when we use ICT in our subject teaching, and also to see how we can reinforce the ICT Department's messages about how to use core programs.
We then welcomed Ellen Coen from Childnet International, an internet safety charity, who led a session on internet safety. She covered the main new technologies students may be using out of school hours, as well as showing us a a really effective video to use with students on cyberbullying. Childnet's approach involves informing of the potential dangers of the net environment, whilst encouraging us to model good usage of it by using these technologies with our students.
In the afternoon we spilt into workshop groups to spend some time "hands on". Music, Maths and Science worked on their own software, whilst other staff looked at blogging, podcasting, intranet and IWB. For Woldingham staff, you can take a look at what John and Kelly produced using Promethean interactive whiteboard software on our T drive in the IWB Training folder. Look for the files entitled Sutton Hoo and Skeleton, and click on the N at the top of the page for an explanation of how to use them. I'm just waiting for more links to the baby blogs created on the day to add them to the blogroll - but you can already check out the French and Japanese Departments' offerings. Let's hope there will be plenty more activity on these fronts over the next few months. Hopefully taking a group of staff to the TES and BETT shows will give us added impetus.
