I have been asked by Jane CD to start a blog with respect to my Gypsy/Travellers evening class. A short precis of the story so far.... we started with a 10 week course doing a different elements of the acredited CLAIT course (some more than others - at their own speed). One class of men and another class of women. The men did very well but unfortunately had to leave for work committments. The class of ladies continued and ran over into a new 20 week course, so that they could complete the CLAIT modules and start a more exciting project using other elements of IT and interactive learning. My ladies preferred gaining a qualification for future CV useage rather than doing a "project".
I now have a mixture of experience in the class now, one complete beginner, one enthusiastic first time claiter and one student who has completed the whole CLAIT qual.
For the rest of the term we are going to "have a go at...." MS-Publisher to enable the creation of advertising posters (always useful) leaflets, flyers and possibly a newsletter. We are also going to have a visit from a local Museum that has resources giving some gypsy local history and (yes there is going to be more!) have a go at making short videos via Movie Maker. So any tips out there very welcome! not having used movie maker before myself. I will keep you posted!!

Fascinating stuff, Jane! Thanks for sharing the story of your class.
Movie maker is good fun and quite straightforward to use - jump in and see where the thing takes you! (Oh, and don't forget to share your Oscar-winning film with us, will you?)
Of course, we're all here to help if need be - even though we are hardly experts ourselves.
