There are three platforms I use to ensure that every student is taking part and to instantly collect the data you need to move on into your lesson. The best part is about using these platforms is that I know they are truly engaged in a challenging activity from the start of the lesson, leaving me free to take the register and interact with the students as they are entering the classroom.

Hands up the people who have a colleague that has tried to get you to use a new educational platform by describing it as innovative.
Keep your hand up if your colleague misunderstood what innovative meant and the now paid for platform is yet another digital gimmick in your school.
It happens. I did not properly grasp what what innovation meant until I was introduced to this exceptionally clear definition from Jamie Notter. Your objective is to now look at all the platforms throughout the entire school, and come to a decision on which ones add value to the teaching and learning in your school.
Educational technology is a booming industry, one which teachers and students have jumped upon to teach, learn and communicate in ever more creative and effective ways.
This has created an almost impenetrable tangle of online resources, with varying different levels of compatibility in one school. If each of your 14 departments subscribe to applications independently, this jungle of digital resources threatens to quickly sap your school’s digital funding, stifle teacher creativity and lose your students attention during the lessons because they have forgotten their login details for “your” app.
Can this be done better in your school? Of course it can! Read on to find out how.
