How children can reflect on their learning and access extra resources to support understanding. How a number of creative skills can be learnt and used again and again for different skills in different subjects. Gain instant feedback by turning iPads and iPods into a free interactive voting system.   There will be the chance to sign up for free online accounts to enable teachers to begin using these strategies upon returning to school.

We will examine how such resources can be easily incorporated into curriculum planning and how to utilise the technology effectively in a classroom setting. The afternoon session will involve looking at ways teachers have used a variety of data handling technologies to enhance their lessons and how pupils have used the same resources to problem solve 'real life scenarios' using a range of data.   Note - Delegates can either choose to attend this as a full day course or opt to attend either the morning or afternoon session at a cost of £90 per session.   PLEASE USE SPECIAL APPLICATION FORM TO APPLY FOR THIS COURSE
