Job Match

During a very interactive staff training session tutors gave feedback on resources we have tried. 

JOB MATCH
Used by learners during A level Applied Business.  Students liked the site, finding it easy to input information and were provided with relevant local job opportunities.  They thought people their age may be more likely to access this information than search in job centres or local papers.  Resource also drew them to GOV. UK where they were able to access relevant research information about employers/employees rights and responsibilities which they have been able to incorporate into their course work. 
Tutors delivering Workskills and Employment & Personal Development courses indicated that they would built this resource into their scheme of work when supporting students needing support into employment.  Tutors supporting NEETs would also access the site. 
Positive feedback for a resource that the centre will use in the future.

Open Door's Admin input

Recruiting – Go!animate, can be very useful for this to advertise in class if we have short courses, new courses or even annual events

Inductions- Animoto ,Go!animate, are both very useful tools for inductions.

Teaching & Learning- Blogger could be very useful for day to day records of achievement as well as how they got on and how they feel that day. Job match also as a lot of students are normally actively seeking work. – Angela (admin) 19 March 2013

Animoto - first "test drive"

My feelings about Animoto are that although it is an impressive show that requires little design, its use will be limited within our Centre.  I feel that it would be useful as a marketing tool to attract new students and that a link from our website to a prepared Animoto presentation would be ideal.  It could be used as part of the induction process with photos of fire exits, hazards, specialised equipment and teaching rooms.  As a teaching and learning tool I can think of little use.  The only way in which I would possibly use it is for the students who have done or are doing Digital Imaging as they would find it easy to use and fun – I would suggest that they use the free version or download to their own computers.  I'll speak to the team regarding which particular aspect of the learner journey I feel it would/could be of most interest.  19 March 2013  -  Bev (Tutor)
