The ELC practitioner meet up theme for this week is: Enhancing early level literacy with digital technology
This session aims to bring together practitioners working with early level learners from all across the Early Learning and Childcare sector in Scotland.
The session will be an informal, discussion based meet up session, exploring and sharing how ELC practitioners are enhancing early level literacy with digital technology at early level.
There will be opportunity to collaborate interactively and anonymously via Mentimeter (audience uses their smartphones/other browser to connect to the presentation to answer questions. visualise their responses in real-time to create a fun and interactive experience).
You will also be able to use the chat option or turn on your microphone/camera to ask questions, talk about resources and share examples of practice and feedback if you so wish, including sharing your screen to show photos and videos if you have the permission to do so.
This series of meet up sessions are designed around a flipped learning model. Prior to attending the meet up, you are invited to watch a video of a webinar recording (around 60 minutes in length). This will ensure you have more flexibility to become familiar with the meet up theme and perhaps try out some of the suggested activities prior to the meet up.
This session will take place within a Microsoft Teams meeting.
You will NOT require a Glow login for this webinar.
