Meet the Masters: Introducing our latest Promethean Certified Trainers

We are thrilled to introduce our latest cohort of Promethean Certified Trainers, who are excited to share their knowledge and new expertise of the Promethean panels and the ActivInspire software with their schools and clusters.

This technology can significantly enhance learner engagement, ensuring that learners benefit from more interactive and dynamic educational experiences.

Key takeaways and most impactful learning experiences identified by the participants included:

  • Promethean tools available on the panels and online (such as spinner, annotate and timer)
  • ActivInspire tools, tips and hints (such as the use of templates, interactive manipulatives, reveal sliders and overlays)
  • Laptop and Online tools to boost engagement and collaboration (such as MS Whiteboard, floating keyboard, split screen functionality and MS Accessibility Tools)
  • Features to enhance productivity (such as importing and annotating PDF’s, exporting lessons as JPEGs or PDFs to share and ability to use the board separately from the laptop)

Congratulations all, we are excited to see how you take this new knowledge forward in your schools.

Enhancing Digital Skills at Seafield PS

This afternoon, one of our Digital Pedagogy Officers held a training session with the staff at Seafield Primary, specifically focusing on the Microsoft Learning Accelerators, Microsoft Accessibility Tools, and Adobe Express, to build engagement and support all learners.

Adobe Express offers great opportunities for collaboration, feedback, engagement and creativity. Today, staff explored a number of features, but particularly enjoyed the ‘Animate Your Voice’ function, producing some cute results.

Staff explored how to use or further embed the use of the Microsoft Learning Accelerators and Accessibility tools, to support ALL learners.

The tools we looked at today included:

  • Reflect
  • Reading Progress & Reading Coach
  • Search Progress
  • Immersive Reader
  • Dictate
  • Accessibility within Microsoft Edge

It was great having an in person session. I really liked that it was informative but also informal so we could ask questions specifically relating to our own class or our own level of knowledge. Thanks! 😊Class Teacher

It was great to learn more about Adobe Express and I have now added all pupils in the class with lots of thoughts on how we can use this in the near future.

We are looking forward to seeing how these tools are used across the school in the near future. Good luck Seafield, and thanks for a great session today.
