Virtual TeachMeet

Whilst the past few months have been pretty hard to explain, think about, go through and reflect on, we’ve been doing all those.

We know that schools and staff within have been coming up with some pretty amazing new ways of teaching, so we’d like to enable them to share all this and discuss. Please find below our flyer for the TeachMeet happening soon.

Using Lego as a therapeutic intervention

We had a great time at our Teachmeet this week. We enjoyed some interactive talks on a range of topics including:

Using the Linkee game concept to develop linked questions for key ideas. This is great with older students as a revision tool.

A developed feedback and assessment tool in MFL and use of a vocal recall app which uses QR Codes.

Learning about the Councils plans for Integrating services to support children more effectively.

We enjoyed hearing about how teachers can use Lego as a therapeutic intervention tool and having a go with some augmented reality!
