iPads, Tablets, Smart phones and Apps: Creatively using ICT to support children and young people with SEND
A bewildering range of modern technologies continually come onto the market. Understandably, schools wish to harness the potential of these but too often a fraction of the potential of the equipment is used to full effect.
This course aims to enable delegates to explore and investigate the capacity of equipment they have, make informed decisions about what they might buy and how it could be used to support children they teach.
