The interactive whiteboard is one the main tools you will use to teach with in the classroom. This session will introduce you to the basics. Clear design and interactive elements are essential for learning when using a flipchart. This session will introduce you to the principals and tricks of good design.

Many schools are publishing and writing about the work that happens in the classroom. This session will explore the tools you can use as a teacher to achieve this. In this digital age of technology, you as a professional and the children you teach must stay safe whilst online. This session will prepare to begin this journey. Unpicking the language of the new curriculum, is vital to understand the new computing curriculum. The only way to explore the new curriculum is to try out some of the activities in the same way you would encourage children to. Identifying the skills needed by children to understand data handling You will investigate graphing, flat file and binary databases. More schools are exploring mobile computing and how iPads and other tablets can support learning in the classroom. Be prepared to get out and about for our last session
