Did you 'myst' being part of Myst? You still have chance to attend a training day with Tim and also watch him deliver 3 lessons with classes of children.
Tim Rylands, who recently spent two weeks in West Kent, will be visiting St. Teresa’s Catholic Primary School on Thursday 5th March and Friday 6th March. The format for his visit will be much the same as it was in West Kent. See http://www.kented.org.uk/myst/
The two days are free to all schools in ARC or ASOne and there could also be a few places for teachers in other partnerships too.
Thursday 5 March
Three demo sessions giving teachers a glimpse of how to use Myst in the classroom as an aid to inspire writing. These lessons are aimed at class teachers and teachng assistants.
A comment from one of the teachers who attended a demo session in West Kent:
"I particularly enjoyed Mr Rylands' use of a great personality to enthuse a mixed group of writers. Lovely to see how ICT can be used unobtrusively to support writing!" Caroline
Friday 6 March
Whole Day Workshop for Literacy coordinators or any interested teacher.
This day will gve teachers a more in depth view of how Myst and other visual literacy tools can meet the needs of the 21 century learner. There will be an opportunity for delegates to explore the game of Myst 3 Exile. Copies of the game may be purchased on the day for £5.
A comment from one of the teachers who attended the workshop day in West Kent:
"What a totally amazing and inspiring day, so many ideas, activities, tips, clues and resources that my mind is racing with knowing where to start ! Thank you Tim, Sarah and the Kent team for such a motivating and energizing day, which I know will get not only my Year 5 class but the whole school buzzing with excitement and creativity.
Thank you." Marc
