CPD

Our network technician has begun to offer after school training sessions for staff on the use of the platform.

Staff can request a session on a specific topic or take part in a programme of specific training events.

The first training session highlighted an issue relating to the nature of this training. The trainer delivered a session on basic skills in relation to accessing the platform and what the various applications 'do' - what the department really needed was a first input on pedagogy with some concrete examples of how the platform was being used in other curriculum areas.

This does back up the findings of the school survey - so it's pedagogy first, followed by the technical skills needed to use the platform. (I know - blindingly obvious).
