As Halloween approaches, why not try this creative writing activity - A dark and stormy night - with your adults learners? Although the main focus of the activity is on developing writing skills, it is also good for developing listening and reading skills and practising past tenses and descriptive vocabulary. Students use their imaginations to build up a character profile, and then work cooperatively to develop the storyline.

This week's featured talk from the Teaching for Success online conference is Gavin Dudeney's talk - Integrating ICT: the case for mobile. Gavin looks at ten reasons why mobile and handheld learning (mLearning) may have a greater chance of success than any other technology we have implemented in the past. Over the course of those ten points, he examines mLearning through an institutional lens, and through the lenses of both the learner and the teacher, in order to judge whether mLearning is, finally, the EdTech solution we have been waiting for.
