5 TIPS HOW INTERACTIVE EDUCATION CAN HELP YOU.

As a new class is about to walk through the door
to your tided and decorated classroom, how do
you ensure that the students remain engaged and
the climate for learning is effective in your room?
We have all had 6 weeks off and everyone has
forgotten something; how do you ensure you
quickly grab the children’s attention and access
what they know?
ClassComm will help you understand prior
learning and quickly adapt your lesson to the
needs of your class. ClassComm is the quick
way of creating interactive quizzes with instant
feedback, gaining valuable reports and data
about gaps in prior learning.
This would help your students make rapid
progress within the lesson and throughout the
year. Use the built in interactive games to develop
competition through gamification and building
key social skills within the classroom.
Tip #1
BASELINE STUDENTS ABILITY,
ASSESSMENT LEVEL

With everyone spending the past 6 weeks
playing with their mobiles and tablets, how can
we use this to continue our engagement with the
students within the classroom?
We have the answer. The Virtual G Pad is an
easily downloadable app onto any device,
which can quickly connect the teacher with the
learning and understanding of the students.
A simple question and answer session can
become engaging by students getting involved
in their own learning and progress. The easy
implemented system means that competition
and AFL can be seamlessly built into lessons,
resulting in the engagement of all students.
Tip #2
ENGAGE WITH THE STUDENT

You have walked in your classroom. You have a
new interactive screen at the front and a set of
tablets to help you engage students in learning
in your room. You are excited about the new
technology that is presented to you yet you feel
apprehensive about this challenge you are facing.
How do you know what they are doing during
your lesson?
The last thing you want during an observation
is a student on games or surfing the web. How
are you going to differentiate and ensure that all
students are stretched and challenged in your
class?
Project Flow is the solution to all these fears .
Project Flow is the digital learning platform that
enables you as the teacher to have full control of
the work that is set, resources your students can
access and personalise the learning within the
classroom.
This allows you to have more time with
the individual students to encourage their
progress throughout the lesson and correct
misconceptions within the environment. Locking
students into resources, whilst allowing them
to navigate and research the topic, gives them
independence and control of their own learning.
Whilst keeping your pedagogy, Project Flow
can simply help you with three key elements: to
manage, to engage and to differentiate.
Tip #3
MANAGING LEARNING WITH TABLETS

We all have those lessons when you walk around
the room and you see a piece of work that “hits
the nail on the head”. The next student, however,
is struggling and additional guidance is needed.
Using the visualiser, you can magnify both
students’ work onto the classroom touch screen.
With the added benefits of Spark software, you
can annotate over the live video feed making
suggestions when comparing and contrasting.
The class can then discuss both pieces of work
to ensure that they have understanding of the
expectation and develop each other’s work.
SMSC is also developed within your classroom to
help you develop a positive climate for learning
as collaboration is key within this process. This
is easy to implement; within three clicks you can
drag a live video feed onto the infinite canvas.
What happens with this evidence?
Simple! Save it into your area and print it for the
students’ books. You have a copy, they have a
copy, and revision is there!
Tip #4
EVIDENCE OF PEER-LED LEARNING

You’re 3 weeks into the term, your students are
working well but all those lessons you have
planned over the six weeks are running low, the
to-do list is growing, you have meetings,
back-to-back lessons and now have data that
needs submitting.
How can you manage this time to attain student
engagement and retain an “outstanding” lesson?
Tip #5
TIME MANAGEMENT, WORK FLOW, QUICK AND
EFFECTIVE LESSON PLANNING.
The following 3 programmes will help.
• Project Flow: No more queues for the photocopier at 8 o’clock in the morning, simply share the content directly
to devices. We all know everyone learns at a different pace, so Project Flow allows you to discreetly differentiate
worksheets to individual students.
• Spark: Shortcut your prepared resources into your lesson for quick and easy access. Everything you do in Spark
is recorded and saved enabling you to revisit areas of a lesson. Imagine drawing a graph or doing cursive writing
and able to replay individual parts, choosing to show what you show and when to show it; record, select, loop!
• ClassComm: Gather that data quickly with analysis for those upcoming staff meetings and data entry point.
Clearly show progress through summative and formative assessment throughout the year and check prior learning.

Hope this has been helpful.
Good luck and
have a great school year!
