APptastic

My 'go to' apps:

• Reflector and Splashtop
• Planboard
• Google Drive (all Google apps, really)
• Class Dojo
• Stage

My 'working on it' apps:

• Evernote
• Explain Everything
• Comic Life
• Nearpod

some web apps:

• Padlet
• Classtools.net
• Videonot.es
• Pinterest
• Quadblogging

Remember:

No app can compare to a great teacher and a really engaging lesson.

One more thing...

Technology fails. Have a back up plan.

Untitled Slide

eSafety is more than just being safe on the internet.

It has to be explicitly taught to students (and staff, and parents...)

esafety is...

• Embedded in most categories for Ofsted inspections
• Every teacher's responsibility
• Required across the curriculum

Social media

social media dos and don'ts

• Do use it - just use it wisely.
• Be careful about your privacy settings.
• Do you identify who you are and where you work?
• If you don't want your headteacher to see it, don't post it.
• Remember your digital footprint!
