Thank you so much again for an inspiring and practical session on Wednesday. The feedback (which I have attached) shows just how useful attendees found it and I think we all left feeling inspired and motivated!

What went well:

Networking with other school people to get ideas.

Planning a project together to develop ideas and thoughts. 

Seeing the engagement and motivation of all people in the school. 

The group element of the day - getting ideas from other.

Great seeing the student engagement & also working through the process of creating a project.

Having a go at designing / creating a project-the use of ICT ideas.

The planning activity - knowing how to take it forward.

The interactive approach to the day - seeing how it was put in action and having a go ourselves.

The amount of ideas generated was amazing....honest and direct advice that was relevant and useful.

The opportunity to see how technology can have an impact.

The planning activity in the afternoon

Networking with others for ideas I can steal

Getting ideas to take back

Even Better if:

Opportunities to play with IT ideas etc.  

                 

Chance to try out some of the technology spoken about throughout the day.

More time! Too look at everything in more detail.

Have a chance to try out some ICT skills that can be used in PBL.

 

Seeing the students in action this morning.

More time to look at how technology can influence and enhance...types of apps etc…. 

More exploration of downsides or issues with implementing this approach

We had more time to work together!

Observing students:

I was really impressed with the enthusiasm of the staff and students in each room.

I thought the environment in all the rooms was amazing - very engaging!

I loved how engaged and excited ALL the students were in each of the lessons we saw!

Student participation works really well and the students clearly trust each other and the staff a lot!

The students language skills were extraordinary.

Loved the singing!
