them to find time (ha!) to do it themselves

Natty08: Ok so how do we make it interactive? #ukedchat

7/22/2010 20:01
bevevans22: #ukedchat Firstly - are we talking about teachers using them interactively or making them
accessible to pupils? Bit of both?

learning? Are they the best tool for the job? #ukedchat

pupils to use themselves #ukedchat

7/22/2010 20:03

up in KS2. Makes a difference I think

7/22/2010 20:04

interactive approaches? Why/why not?
