The session is intended to cover two very different e-learning approaches.

Firstly we will spend thirty minutes looking at year 7 blogs and going over how to access and comment on these blogs.

The second half of the session will look at Frog and what learning platforms offer to the hard-pressed teacher. In particular we’ll go over assigning work to students using Frog.

At the end of the sessions I’d be very grateful if you would complete the survey here.
