You've probably all done this at one stage or another. Just got me thinking about the difference between trying something out once or twice and the possible benefits or adopting it as a consistent practice.

I tried this strategy with a really reluctant group to inspire them for creative writing tasks for GCSE English.

We talked about this briefly as possibly one of the tools which can be used efficiently and effectively, not just for show . Have a look at the tutorial first to decide maybe.

This article has a few ideas of how to approach this but most importantly reminds us why we are asking learners questions and if we rush we are essentially defeating the object. Maybe a good experiment?

# data[].attributes.body
We also briefly discussed this as really simple way of introducing digital technology into the classroom.The tool can be used in a variety of ways without having to rely too heavily of access to computers etc. Responses rely on the learners using their phone.
Useful for a quick revision test/ checking progress at different stages during the session, capturing opinions before launching into a new topic. Easy to set up and very visual.

Findings from an Ofsted survey on the use of off-site alternative provision by schools and pupil referral units.

In 2011, Ofsted published a survey report on the use of off-site alternative provision by schools and pupil referral units. The survey identified successful features of alternative provision and commented on a range of weaknesses that inspectors had found during their visits.

As a result of the survey's findings, the Department for Education (DfE) commissioned Ofsted to carry out a second survey on the same topic. This page has the findings from the first year of this survey as well as the final findings.
