Good Luck with your exams and everything you plan to do in the future.

The blog project (2nd half of your ICT Key Skills will start on Tuesday following a final session for the Jun group to log in the first project (see calendar).
The groups for this project are as shown below. Do not be surprised to find yourself with people from a different group or people you do not normally work with — part of the purpose of the project is to develop team working skills and in a real work environment you would need to be able to collaborate with a variety of people. However, if anyone has any especial concerns please see one of the tutors.
The first session will be a general look at blogs and blogging, and you will have from now until next Tuesday to select your topic. Don’t forget it needs to be something you can all agree on and contribute to!
If you are stuck there are some ideas on the Moodle.

Those wishing to continue with numeracy while Leia is away this week can refer to the Moodle course below:
Tackling Word Problems. It contains the handouts we’v already done, the questions you wrote for each other last week and some extension activites and links to “how to” documents.
Those you are leaving this week or next and need to resist their assessments should see a tutor to go through the questions they got wrong last time – the same as you have been doing for your other exams.
Could those who are leaving this month also please complete the Basic Skills Evaluation questions here. Let us know what was good, what wasn’t so good and anything we could do to improve!
Hi Everyone

Could all trainees please remember that you are not the only classess to use the training rooms. In order that other people can use the room after you have left, please make sure at the end of the day that all:
Also please remember that only bottled drinks are permitted in the rooms. Cups of water and coffee next to PCs in a crowded lab are a recipe for disaster!
We have now completed the percentages section and had a look at Word Problems.
