Inspiring Writing
A New Narrative
Professional Development Event for Primary School Teachers
This CPD event explores how technology can inspire and help develop writing in Primary School pupils. Many students struggle with using an extensive vocabulary and often run out of steam in their stories. Our speakers have a wealth of experience in addressing these issues.
Andrew Wilkinson from 2Simple will share many practical ways to support and develop writing using a range of interactive tools. The Curriculum Team at OpenZone will run a hands on session using a range of iPad apps and greenscreen technologies designed to make writing exciting to those more reluctant writers.
