3. Seminar Notes We have 8 taught sessions in the ICT module each of the sessions has a webpage to accompany the taught element. This is for a number of reasons but mainly so you can recap what we have worked through during the session if we go through it too quickly during the session time. The other main reason is that during my research for session material I find useful information that I feel will support you in your teaching and learning. However, I will not spend a lot of time going through it all. I leave this for you to discover at your own pace
