It allows users to create social media posts with text, graphics, and video. Within minutes, a visually appealing picture quote or article can be produced and published online. 

This app is perfect to use with students within the 'Foundation' department as they are required to perform small confidence boosting tasks in class and assessments. Due to its ease of use and innovative designs, adobe spark allows students to create something with substance they can be proud of, within a short time frame. This can then be used as part of a wider project, ideally based around social media, where students could see how many likes they can get for each post, adding an element of competition. 

Students will engage with adobe spark as the finished product looks much like the media they are used to viewing on a daily basis on facebook, twitter and Instagram. ]]> 2016-06-15 13:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lowea1/tkwrx606h0f4/wish/114726370 lowea1 https://padlet.com/lowea1/tkwrx606h0f4/wish/114728383 Quizizz is perfect as a 'connect' activity to see what learners know about a topic or a chance for a chance  to 'review & recall'  to check learning has taken place. 

For foundation learners, sometimes staying engaged with a subject is tough, and low concentration spans can mean that all seasons must be upbeat and engaging to maximize productivity. That is why gamefication is so important when engaging learners, quizzes being one of the best gamification apps out there.

Quizizz provides an exciting quiz platform with a competitive element, where learners can see their scores on the smart board display at the front of the classroom. iPads can be given to students if their mobiles phones are not available meaning every student has a chance to be involved. ]]> 2016-06-15 14:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lowea1/tkwrx606h0f4/wish/114728383 lowea1 https://padlet.com/lowea1/tkwrx606h0f4/wish/115163905 Wizer me is a online tool for creating interactive worksheet. It can be used at all stages of the teaching/learning cycle. It is intuitive, making it accessible to every one and can easily be added to your google classroom with the click of a button. 

Much like Quizziz, learners in our department enjoy the use of technology over the traditional worksheet.
