Oh happy day…
iTube seems to be working again - quickly downloaded “Lauren’s new teacher”, when Catherine Tate’s school girl gets a new teacher in the shape of David Tennant and begins quoting Shakespeare, to share with my English colleagues.
Hanging on the telephone…
The end of March is a stressful time, folios need to be completed and uplifted, end of term reports written, speaking assessments done, but what’s been my most stressful experience this week? Spending money.
You would think the gift of money to spend should be a pleasureable experience, the excitement of buying new equipment - I seem to have spent hours on the phone trying to find a company who could supply iPods and invoice us within the next week.
Amazingly Apple themselves couldn’t do it, I’m still waiting for another company to return my calls and Argos couldn’t guarantee setting up an account and delivering the goods. Eventually PC World were the company able to do the order in time, but not before I had to explain what I wanted 4 times as I was passed around the company and left hanging on the telephone…
However it should be worth it in the end - next week we’ll have iPod videos and the excitement of exploring how we can use them in Gaelic and French.
Communicate.07 Notes
Links to the notes from the seminars at last week’s Communicate.07 conference at Stirling can be found on the SCILT website. I’m hoping that by the time I go to Paris in June with S3 we’ll be able to moblog some of our adventures (I feel a new phone calling out to me). I am still hoping that we’ll be able to blog live from Versailles, but sending something via the phone would be a good experience too.
