As part of the Co-Create fund that challenged creative organisation to use Glow technologies in innovative ways, Imaginate created a micro-site within Glow that allowed learners to play the role of theatre critic and reflect on a performance they had experienced.
The tool uses beautiful animation and works on the white board to generate a truly interactive experience in the classroom.
Today is the fourth in a new series of bi-weekly posts highlighting the very best content available through the Creativity Portal.
