#NGFL–The most amazing audience ever…
Thanks to those who took part in the presentations today… As I wrote this blog post live during the presentation to demonstrate livewriter I had to write that you were an amazing audience, but saying that you were really great so thank you and hope some of these tools below can help you.
To get access to the amazing FREE Microsoft stuff I showed then sign up to the partners in learning network which is free for teachers. It is an online community where you can get free resources or collaborate and join forums with other teachers. There are teachers on there from all over the world. It is on this community that you can download Songsmith & Autocollage for free: http://uk.partnersinlearningnetwork.com/Pages/default.aspx

Have you used any of these tools yet? If you attended the talk have you tried any yet too?
Today’s conference has been really overwhelming but also inspiring. Thank you for a great talk with lots of helpful suggestions and for opening my mind to creative ways I can approach using ICT. I shall be trying these tools out next week in school – can’t wait!
You were amazing! Loved the tools and chickenman chat and to think you are a deputy head to boot. Will try all the things you showed us. – Thank you.
