Staff training

Spent Monday doing a training session on using iPads in schools. Was quite nervous about what reaction I might face, you never know if the thing you believe in is going to be accepted by others.The result however was a really engaging session looking at the possibilities the device gave us as teachers. We reviewed several apps but the apps that really stood out to most were Explain Everything and Creative Book Builder.These two apps allow you to create products that leave a legacy. Students create the content that can then be used by students in the lower years.Evernote was a big success too, lots of interest in how we use it in PE and how other subjects could use it for various things.Looks like it was a success, guess time will tell
