I devised a programme to develop their technical skill level, so that they could use modern technologies to engage and inspire their secondary pupils. I emphasized one of my golden rules for TEL which is that it should only be used to enhance learning and not just to entertain the pupils.
A specific technology that I introduced was called Padlet. It allows an online notice board to be set up where pupils can contribute by pinning their own ideas. They can do this simply by sharing a website address which is unique for each Padlet. This virtual notice board is analogous to the pupils pinning a Post-it note on a classroom noticeboard. As the Padlet and all of the data is stored online, it is known as a ‘Cloud Technology’.
