Getting with the times makes education fun
Briefly News spoke to Tamsin Carelse (Head of Technology) at Pinelands North Primary to find out a bit about their teaching style and how they have used things like social media to motivate learning. This is what she said:
"At Pinelands North Primary, we focus on a pupil-centred approach to learning that is holistic and inclusive. Our ethos is all about ensuring all our children feel like they belong. Our teachers are constantly learning and evolving their teaching methods. With this approach comes much training in emerging technological methodologies that appeal to our pupils and ultimately instil a desire to learn more. We believe in differentiated instruction, where teachers use various strategies to meet individual learners' needs. This approach includes ICT, small group instruction, and one-on-one support.
"We use Google Workspace as our main LTSM. As we all know, TikTok is a platform many young pupils spend an excessive amount of time on. We utilise trends they love and adapt them in an educational and fun way. We also use online platforms like Flip, Kami, EdPuzzle, Mote, Genially, Canva, Pear Deck, Padlet, Sutori, Kahoot, Quizizz and many more.
"At Pinelands North Primary, we strive to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where all learners thrive. We believe in fostering a love for learning that will stay with our pupils throughout their lives while educating them on digital citizenship, as this is vital in the 21st Century."
