WSTA Helpline ICT advice

The biggest area which teachers find interesting for lifelong learning as well as continuing professional development is ICT

To this end the NUT organises courses at both basic and intermediate level. If you are interested contact wsta_addresses@yahoo.co.uk

You can also get help straight away. Experimentally, we are using Yahoo Messenger, which can communicate with Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger to provide fast advice to NUT members who want it. I am available most evenings. If you leave a message I will respond as soon as possible. All you need to do is to add wstalearning as a “friend” If I don’t know the answer to a question on basic ICT I will usually know someone who does.

If you do not have Yahoo Messenger:
Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com and click on “Get it Now”
Follow the onscreen instructions to download messenger to the desktop
Click on the desktop icon to install yahoo Messenger
When it is installed, I recommend:
Click on the word Messenger
Click on Preferences
Click on General
Click on a tick to remove it, click on an empty box to put a tick in it.
Change the General Preferences until they look like this:



This will mean that Messenger will only be there when you want it to be.

Then click on the OK








Click on the plus to add wstalearning as a friend.

You will have to set up a yahoo identity to use yahoo messenger but this is free. If you do not use yahoo you can still email queries to wsta_addresses@yahoo.co.uk
