VENUE: Online Via Zoom

Target audience: Post Primary Teachers, Leaders, NQT's and PME students 

This webinar aims to provide NQTs, PME students and experienced teachers of all subjects with innovative and adaptive strategies/resources.

• To showcase ways to utilize the “Flip” app previously known as “Flipgrid” by Microsoft for the promotion of student voice, student self-assessment, teacher feedback in any subject area and as a communicative practice tool in the teaching of Gaeilge, Modern Foreign languages and EAL.
• To provide teachers with editable and adaptable templates/resources/strategies.
• To help your students build connections between vocabulary/grammar points and visuals through both digital and traditional learning methods (dual coding)
• To help you motivate and empower your students to learn, revise and prepare for exams efficiently through the provision of adaptable examples of retrieval practice strategies and resources.
• Adaptable templates and adaptive pedagogical strategies with instructional short video presentations for innovative learning and revision will be provided post webinar.
