Using Talk to Transform Writing
with tablet technology
Raising Standards, Closing the Gap and accelerating progress for all pupils
This lively, practical and action packed day presents a unique approach to teaching writing in the primary school. It features examples of writing activities in all National Curriculum subjects ranging from History to PE. It is based on evidence-based principles, best current research and outcome-led learning where technology is used only when it provides the best tool for the job.
This course is based on an understanding of how children learn and will show you how easy it is to transform the writing process, using tablet technology, by creating an audio-visual plan that harnesses talk to rapidly transform the writing of all abilities.
This full day course will allow teachers to ensure that classroom technology is used to raise standards of writing in all curriculum areas. Throughout the day a unique and fully transferable approach for pupils to plan their writing will be applied and demonstrated as a truly transformative tool which can make an immediate impact for all pupils from EYFS to Year 6.
The approach presented in this session applies to all subjects and is relevant for Primary Schools and delivers immediate sustained and visible classroom impact.
