Dear Colleagues,
Given the challenge of decoding the Fronter End and Start of Year process document I have rewritten the guide and tailored it so that it matches with the set up in Haringey.
Key things to remember are the need to archive the classrooms and switch off the Email and See Who’s Online tools over the holidays. As usual these guides and more are also available in the MLE Help room.
Happy holidays!!

Colleagues,
Feeling adventurous? Moonbase Alpha has been released, developed in conjunction with NASA it is free and has the aim of encouraging an interest in space exploration in children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moonbase_Alpha_(video_game) I think children would love competing in teams to solve the problems...

Dear Colleagues,
Find attached London MLE end and start of year process guidance. I recommend that this is followed closely so that you can get everything up and running quickly and painlessly at the beginning of next term.
Do get in touch if you need any advice.

Dear Colleagues,
We have some ½ day sessions of Camilla Wrigley’s time left over that will be lost if not used this term. Camilla is an excellent LGfL Curriculum Consultant that has a primary teaching background and lots of experience of working with schools to establish effective use of the London MLE. If you would like your school to benefit from some of her time that could be used to set template rooms, the end of year process, working with children, school council etc. or training for staff then let me know.
The dates that are available are:
14th PM (TODAY!!)
15th AM
15th PM
20th AM
20th PM
Maximum of 1 per school and allocated on first come basis...

Dear Colleagues,
2Simple are offering Purple Mash (formerly 2Simple online tools) to schools on a trial basis for free. It is worth investigating but do bear in mind before committing to a purchase that LGfL is on the verge of a deal to secure free access to these alternative tools for 5 years: http://www.j2e.com/jit

Dear Colleagues,
Safemail has landed!
Safemail (the facility to provide every child with an email address but restrict who they can send and receive from) has now been activated for schools and seems to be really easy to set up. If you are a Nominated Contact for the school then just login to the support site and click on the email tab and Safemail. You’ll find a range of drop down menu options that let you restrict access for particular year groups.
There doesn’t appear to be much in the way of documentation about it at the moment but as soon as there is I will forward it.
Do get in touch if you need a hand getting Safemail activated and accessible through the MLE for your school.
