Kent 3.1

Aren't teachers excitable? The group I was with in East Peckham last evening certainly were and the 'hands on' session looking - in the afternoon - at how Textease Turtle and Draw can support work in mathematics and - later - how Presenter can support work in literacy, certainly opened eyes to potential.

It is always the case in sessions like this when they are 'mixed ability' in terms of software knowledge that there is a variable rate of learning. On the Kent Teachers' Blog pretty well everyone said that they had had a great time but they were aware that they now needed to capitalise on this input and explore for themselves. Some felt they needed supported exploration and that is where Mandy Barrow, a 'hands on support' consultant for Kent comes in. It is her remit to follow up intorductory sessions like this with 'in school', personal sessions delving more deaply into curriculum contexts.

There is an amazing amount of support on the Kent NGFL web site and Mandy can be contacted at mandy.barrow@kent.gov.uk
