Learn ways to integrate digital technologies into your lessons
With so many apps and tools available it can be hard to plan how to best integrate digital technology into your lessons. In this hands-on, in-person session, experience learning from a pupil’s point of view and explore how combining traditional and digital approaches can support imagination, communication and thinking across the curriculum. You’ll leave with fresh ideas for lesson planning, linked to your key stage and subject areas.
This session includes access to a free, onsite workshop for children (ages 7–13) — ideal if you’re juggling childcare over the summer.
