It is always excitiing to start a new project with learners. More so this time as I have not been working with AdEd learners for a little while. Our challenge is to create a community textile for the village of Littledean. It will hang in the United Reform Chapel which is buzzing with community activities. In our first session a series of simple but effective textile techniques were learnt. Students now plan to teach these techniques to others that attend community events so that everyone will be able to contribute a little to the textile. It is said that that the best way to learn is to teach someone else! We plan to put pictures of each session on flickr (aded site and my own site). In our first session we shared design ideas, learnt some simple techniques and took photos of landmark buildings in the village. We welcome you to share our progress on flickr.

Hi Sara
Look forward to watching the progress of this textile.
I find Flickr such a useful way of recording progress. Last term at Poets Corner, Podsmead when I had a particularly small session because a couple of learners were away, the rest of us looked at Flickr on the office computer. They were thrilled to see photos of their work on the internet and a couple of comments people had made.
Do you think you'll have that opportunity Sara? I know we're restricted because of working iin Community Halls where there's rarely any internet access.
I look forward to seeing how the work develops.

We now have a Mobile Broadband connection which you could use to show the Flickr site to your learners. Let me know if you want to borrow it for a session.
I would love to use the mobile internet connection for the session - especially as we are also hoping the learners will try other courses after the textile course. Using this technology could tempt them to learn more about the internet. This happened when we created the GL14 textile. At the end of the course, in the IAG session, learners requested opportunities to develop IT skills more than requesting more textiles!
