Hi Helena, I have to admit I've been very slack about keeping in touch with people in the region via this Ning. I keep in touch with a lot of them via Twitter. It doesn't seem to be used by non-Tweeters unfortunately :o(

Shall we continue with this Ning?

I ask this question, as I don't know if you are aware, but Ning are abandonning their "free" nings on the 20th July. I had hoped that there would be a "free" education version available but it seems that this option is only available in the USA. I have applied for a free ning but that was well over a week ago now so I'm guessing that they haven't granted us one (I could of course be wrong!).So it seems the options are as follows:The new pricing structure is varied and for about £15 a year we…See More

Welcome to Durham Tees Valley MFL Ning

Hi everyone and welcome.
This Ning has been created for anyone who is involved in MFL teaching in the Northeast of England.
Don't forget to visit and join the Durham Tees Valley MFL Diigo Group for links to useful websites.

I've also created a DTV Wiki for sharing and uploading more materials. I have to admit it looks quite full, but on further inspection you'll find most pages are empty (at the moment). Please feel free to add material and any pages you feel could be missing.

Stockton LA CPD Day

If you teach in Stockton, what did you do on the LA wide CPD day on the 5th March? Me, Fiona and Elaine (for some reason I can't link to their pages on here!), along with many other non-linguists went to Teessided CLC to take part in an Apple creativity day. Whilst it would have been nice to have had a play on all of the iMac's fantastic features, we did enjoy our day creating a video in iMovies. As there were 3 linguists in our group of 4, we "persuaded" our 4th…

The scope of audacity

If I had to name my top resources of all time, Audacity would have to be somewhere near the top.

For the uninitiated Audacity is free, open source software for recording and editing sound.

I have been aware of Audacity for a couple of years since I sent a colleague to a course run by Bernard Clark, the language college director at Durham Johnston School on how to…
