The landscape of education has changed dramatically over the last few years during the Covid-19 pandemic. Learning is now taking place at home, in school and everywhere in between. The aim of this short course is to explore tools to allow consistent assessment and feedback opportunities to develop learning, throughout the whole school, within a Blended Learning environment.

With technology developing at such a rapid pace, it has never been easier to expand the walls of your classroom, and school, and explore the entire world with your students. This short course will show you how to use Google Earth to create a virtual field trip for your students. Guide them through the castles of Wales, the landmarks of Paris, or show them the world’s rainforests. On you virtual field trip you can include images, videos and websites to engage and excite your students. So pack your virtual bag, and let’s get going!

Expanding the walls of the classroom has never been easier since the introduction of cloud based learning products. This, along with the move towards a blended learning style of teaching, means that Google Suite For Education can help redefine how you plan, prepare, and deliver content to your students and their families. Using Google Sites, you will see how simple and easy it is to make resources readily available, by creating a resource bank, in a truly collaborative environment. Whether you’re a Google user or a complete Google newbie, this is a course for you! If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch and we will be more than happy to to help.
