I am inspired and can't wait for the interactive whiteboard in my room next year. Every time I go near the 5/6 rooom the children look so engaged. I have noticed that even the child with the shortest attention span in class has a much longer attention span when technology comes into play. Quality teaching in a quality environment.

What a fantastic approach to middle years education. Mrs Evans remenber Steve Biddulph said 'students learn teachers, not subjects'. You're catering perfectly for RTIC's 'risk takers in cyberspace' otherwise known as students in the middle years. Congratulations! Motivation and engagement!!!
