Ofsted, Outstanding Teaching and the Ipad
Daniel Edwards

The blog talks about the use of Ipads in the classroom.  The engagement of children in the class motivates them to learn with this technology.  We need different learning strategies for an array of learning styles.  The use of Socrative to quiz the students on a subject can help.  The instant feedback is satisfying to this new classroom.  Edmodo is a page Mr. Edwards speaks about how it is similar to Facebook.  It is almost just like a Facebook page.  It is set up like a college online course.  These young adults are finding their own way to use these tools to engage and learn.
