It is that time of year when pupils who are sitting external exams are working 'flat-out' as they prepare for that final test.
In the past, if pupils wanted to see teachers to discuss any issues with revision they may have it often involved waiting until the school was in session and then hoping the teacher concerned was free at that moment. This often resulted in extra stress for the pupil who really needed to have contact as the revision was being undertaken.
This has all changed now as pupils and teachers are demonstrating that digital technology can help bridge the gap between self and supported study. A good example came in the form of one of our year 11 pupils who was recently preparing for an Economics exam. He was working through a past paper at home and needed feedback from his teacher. He decided to take an image of his response, he then uploaded this in to Edmodo (a social learning platform used by the school), where he has able to get instant feedback.
Once again, we see pupils leading the way when it comes to developing creative digital responses to learning. Fantastic!
