Introducing an Online Synthetics Phonics Programme
(Preface from Anseo.net) The following is an article written in January 2007, just before the launch of “Phonics International”, a synthetics phonics programme, which is online. Many Irish schools are using “Jolly Phonics”, which is a synthetic phonics programme and many of the items in this series will be very helpful to them, particularly after the initial stages of the programme. Those who have not bought into a synthetics phonics programme should also read with interest as “Phonics International” is renowned as being excellent. We welcome Kat2 to our team. Some readers may know her from the Education Posts forum, where her help has been greatly appreciated.

Problems with Promethean After Sales Service?
I’m personally surprised by this news. I subscribe to the Education Posts forum, which is a forum for all teachers and SNAS. A thread was started a couple of days ago about whether a teacher should invest in Promethean or Smart IWBs. I was amazed to see that almost every post so far condemned Promethean’s after sales service. To quote a user…

a chilled out start to my year in 5th class
Well, week one is down! I feel like I have had my class all year. I say this in a good way. I am quite pleased with my class as they are not of the infant variety and they can peel bananas all by themselves! Wow, it doesn’t take much to impress me!
I am on a health buzz. No, not just a phase but a real lifestyle change that will last forever, at least until Christmas party time! I went to visit a nutritional consultant. She specialises in digestive problems, which I was having many of last year. However, you do not want to hear about any of them, I’m sure.
