Hi5
IT is constantly changing and sometimes it’ s hard to keep up. We’ re here to support you to increase the eLearning opportunities for your students.
Hi5 is the collective term for the 5 tools which can easily and quickly add some eLearning to sessions in either a blended or independent learning context.
Look out for staff development sessions to cover Kahoot! and Socrative( for quizzes and reflective learning), Planet eStream for video content and quizzing, SMARTboard tools to get the most from your IWB and Moodle’ s blogs, wikis and glossaries.
