On Wednesday I had a pleasure of attending the BOCSH<\/a> talking about learning conference<\/a> at St. Andrew’s RC School, Glasgow.\u00a0\u00a0The workshops run by BOCSH <\/a>(Building Our Curriculum Self-Help) and SCEL I attended were all on digital learning.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The first one by Sheena Boyle (MFL), Sandra Convery (English)\u00a0and Lewis Hamilton (Physics) of Balfron High School.\u00a0 Sheena started with it’s not about the technology it’s about the learning.\u00a0 The technology provides feedback, choice, autonomy, independence and encourages a can do more attitude.\u00a0 Tablets can reduce barriers are helpful for low confidence pupils or those with ASN.\u00a0 iPads are used in Balfron High School <\/a>and a number of apps were mentioned:<\/p>\n

Flash card app, Padlet, Sticky notes, Mindmap apps, Showbie, Explain Everything.<\/p>\n

Sandra shared using technology for recording feedback for pupils.\u00a0 Voice recording and annotation means pupils less likely to forget feedback and saves time compared to all writing or chat with each pupil.<\/p>\n
