Well in a couple of days I’m off to Hamburg to listen to many words of wisdom at the European Council of Internaional Schools (ECIS) conference. Welll I hope there will be words of wisdom spoken there. Having been to many conferences one sometimes does, but not always learn things that are actually useful (as opposed to “good idea but…” useful) at these types of events.

What I’m looking for are things that are practically possible at my particular school, both in the administrative and the teqching side of the school. Day to day one can get so involved with what is going on that great, simple, ideas can pass one by. Hopefully by spending time at such an event as this and focussing in on lots of areas that others have already experienced one can improve the learning experience at one’s own school. 

Given I’ve configured a Moodle site as a test (both of my ability, but also to try an be inventive/creative with what is being taught), I and the colleague who is going with me can discuss both the actual content and layout of the site.

And if an internet connection is available then perhaps I’ll even practice my twitter skills!!
