Giglets Training for EA staff

Hello,

We’re delighted to offer another Giglets online training session for East Ayrshire Council staff. This training will take place online via Teams on Tuesday, 30/11/2021 from 3:45 pm.

You can register for this session here.

Who is this training for?

If you are new to East Ayrshire and using Giglets, this training is for you! Training is also suitable for those who have some, little or no experience of using Giglets and those who would like to become more confident using Giglets. This training is aimed at schools who have not been able to arrange whole school Giglets training.

In this session you will learn about the key features of Giglets, how to navigate the platform and how to use Giglets in your classroom.

Please circulate this to all staff who may be interested.

Giglets is a great tool for supporting the delivery of East Ayrshire Active Literacy and your literacy curriculum and can also enhance other curricular areas. All learners, including those with Additional Support Needs and English as an Additional Language, benefit from Giglets.

The Giglets online library gives you access to over 1000 texts across 37 different languages, almost 400 of which are in English. We have thousands of resources ready for you to use including sets of higher order thinking skills questions and automatically marked reading test questions. Reading on Giglets is accessible and engaging as children and young people can change the font, size and colours as well as watch fun animations and listen to theme music.

For more information or to arrange a chat about Giglets in your school, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,
Seona
