Smarten up your weekends!


A beautiful sunny day today but still we had a respectable turn out at the Gateway with a number of students using the time to brush up on their SMART Board skills.
Some of you will be familiar with SMART Board through seeing tutors use it, or witnessing interactive whiteboards being used in teaching placements. If you would like to know more or just simply have a play with the SMART Board equipment then please feel free to come along to the Gateway and we'll set you going.

Today, two QTS students took the opportunity of learning more about how to use SMART Board by playing a 'SMART Board for the terrified' game and are going to come back for further training when they have more time.

If we haven't told you enough times already, we are able to give you support and training in using the many features of SMART Board at a time to suit you and you are welcome to come back for more practice and ideas at any point. And that includes the weekends!
