After presenting my findings to the staff at my school I created a page dedicated to sharing these resources amongst teachers. They are able to view and share resources by adding to the page. This has helped to foster the use of ICT to improve teaching and learning at the school.]]> 2016-08-25 03:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/sreid111/portfolio/wish/119739292 sreid111 https://padlet.com/sreid111/portfolio/wish/127705139 I am officially an ambassador for Plickers which means I have access to new features of the application and can offer support to others.]]> 2016-10-02 02:59:41 UTC https://padlet.com/sreid111/portfolio/wish/127705139 sreid111 https://padlet.com/sreid111/portfolio/wish/129309973 2016-10-09 04:08:09 UTC https://padlet.com/sreid111/portfolio/wish/129309973
