=Agenda= In this flashmeeting, we are hoping to do some hard thinking and hold a mirror up to our own practice. With numbers of language learners inevitably (?) increasing with the Ebacc, is doing what we always do a valid option? We will use this popplet to record the ideas wherever possible - if you would like to be an editor drop me an email - charte@cramlingtonlv.co.uk
 * Easy one to start with... What does a dream languages curriculum look like?
 * ...so how do we assess this dream curriculum? - Let's help the exam boards with some practical ideas.
 * Is technology a panacea or a placebo? - Will technology solve all of our woes or does it just make the bitter pill sweeter?
 * How else can we make our voices heard as a teaching profession - riots? strikes?
 * Highlights and lowlights of your year?
 * Show and tell - your best learning activity this year
 * AOT (any other thoughts...)
