Subject: Your thoughts? Let's pilot a monthly, but short!, phone meeting Re: POLL: Rescheduling LLC MeetingDea r colleagues - Further to my message on slack and phone calls with several of you, I write to learn your thoughts about testing out a phone meeting for our group. Please also see the meeting minutes from June 2016 below, that helped me with this idea:
What do you all think of piloting a regular monthly 30-45 min conference call for the whole team starting in July? This would not prevent us meeting in person, but would give us a regular time to share updates and understand what is going on for each of you. I hope to understand your needs better, and have a chance to learn how MTML might help you and your programs. From these meetings we can determine when and where we would like to meet in person.
Learning from the minutes of your previous meetings, I propose a blended agenda - some standing items, and some identified by the group on the day:
sample agenda:
a) 5 min - Michelle - MAESD Updates, LBS sector announcements; MTML Updates
a) 10min - ALL - Member Updates/Provider Updates: 1 min per person to update group on your program
b) 15 min - ALL - Topic that emerge from the discussion; suggested by group
I will book it for Thursday July 12 from 10-11am.
In the future, I will aim to schedule it for around the third Thursday of every month and know that we may only use 30 min.
Please look for a calendar invitation with the details for the conference call number.
Is this something that is appealing to you? Please let me know!
If I don't hear from you, I'll assume that you are supporting this pilot! Thanks!

Hi Michelle, I won’t be able to attend the article club next week. I read the article and wanted to add another short article that spoke more directly to the adult literacy field. It is short so maybe it can be part of the discussion. Smythe: Where is Canada's digital inclusion strategy http://www.policynote.ca/where-is-canadas-digital-inclusion-strategy/Suzanne Smythe has done a lot of work on digital accessibility and adult literacy.
Enjoy, Audrey

The audience for this is anyone who uses writing in their daily work. It is really beneficial for anyone creating documents for the public. But it's also very helpful for those that write emails, prepare minutes, write policy, create activities for learners, etc. We have had practitioners from various fields take this course - from frontline to management all over Ontario and beyond! :)"
Clear Writing Online Course
This is a public course that you can take to learn how to use Clear Writing principles to help you write clearly
- at work
- while volunteering
- in your daily life.
This course is 12 weeks in length. This course is asynchronous so there are no live sessions. It is delivered on the Moodle platform.

TOPIC: 3rd Thursdays- June 21st 4-6pm Article Club at MTML
Hello Everyone,
I would like to invite you to our first Article Club which will be held regularly on the third Thursday of every month.
We have heard from our community that we need an opportunity to meet and learn from each other. Think "book club" or "journal reading group", but more nimble - these articles are the kick-start to some great conversation. We need your suggestions for articles to discuss each month - just send the links in to us! Even better if there is a audio or video link to help us prep.
In the meantime feel free to invite others. The group is open and everyone is welcome. Please bring a snack to share. We are located at 344 Bloor St West, Suite 405, at the N/W corner of Bloor/Spadina, across the street from the Miles Nadal JCC, and above Tim's/Swiss Chalet. Please hold the date and watch for another message where we will share the links - also posted on slack.
Check out the photo of a similar session we hosted in May - you may have see it on the slack group...
https://literacymtml.slack.com/files/UA7LJ14VA/FB272G5AT/img_20180515_163936018.jpg
