I hope you enjoy our page as much as we have making it!

Regards,

Check out what you can do with it: 

Emergency!!

The Emergency Number worldwide for a mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked.

Hidden Battery Power.

Imagine your mobile battery is very, very low. To activate a reserve voltage, press the keys *3370#   and your mobile will restart with this reserve and will show a 50% increase in battery voltage. Especially useful for an emergency call!!!
This voltage reserve will get replaced when you next recharge your mobile. 

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone? 

To check your mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # 

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.  This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.  If your phone gets stolen you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card your phone will be totally useless. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use it or sell it either. 

They go on further to say:

Disabled employees have less time off sick, stay longer in their jobs and have fewer work accidents

20% of the workplace, that is 6.9 million people, have some form of disability or impairment

Only 17% of people with a disability are born wit that disability, the majority acquire that disability during their working life

There are some good case studies that show the practicality of making reasonable adjustments to a workplace and two excellent leaflets follow the link at the bottom.

Remember that disabilities are not always visible. Everyone has a duty to be health and safety conscious and be aware of the health and safety risks in their workplace.

Open Day

The day’s activities also included an open day where we were able to showcase our use of technology and demonstrate the work we carry out as part of the Technology Exemplar network. All Employers and prospective learners were invited to come along, view our facilities and talk to our staff about the services ISIS Training offer. Mary Turnor, WBL Operations Manager, explained that they are really pleased with the new systems and technologies.

The staff at ISIS Training explained to visitors how the new centre incorporates a range of the latest technologies to support learning and assessment and were able to demonstrate how they use technology to support a range of activities.

IWEB

We also demonstrated IWEB a staff portal which has been written and developed in house by our IT Technician, Dan O’Hara. This system allows staff to access documents, share news, MIS data and coordinate diaries across the different centres. New or updated procedures are co-ordinated by our quality manager, Pip Whiteman, who uploads them on to the system. This ensures that all staff have access to all the latest information and version control is properly managed. The day was a great success and a further open day will be held at our Lincoln centre on the 23^rd July 2010.

Improved Network

One of the major improvements is the re-cabling and upgrade of the ISIS Training network
This will provide high speed communications, internet access and data transfer in our Lincoln Centre.

Additional Purchases

We have also purchased a wide range of new IT equipment for use by staff and learners which include: Interactive SMART Boards installed in all classrooms in both our Lincoln and Boston Centres, SMART Voting systems to hold interactive quizzes and informal testing, two new Computer Suites for use by our Foundation Learning Tier learners, Wii consoles to bring fun into learning and help develop teamwork, co-ordination and interpersonal skills.

New Nintendo DS consoles with Brain Train software will help develop and improve numeracy and literacy. All this new equipment will enhance our current use of E-portfolios and the highly successful Learning Advisors IT Toolkit, used for electronic Assessment.
