I strongly recommend you to watch this if you can find the time. It will take a minute or so to load. Blip TV can also be a little glitchy and may hang at times for ten seconds or so before it re-starts, so you might have to persevere, or it might run straight through with no pauses.

Why do I think this is so important? In Heaton Manor their learning platform/digital environment has become the place all the teachers, admin staff and pupils are turning to, to make all sorts of work processes more effective. I don’t think there is any way this school can now stop using their digital environment, which means it is just going to become more and more embedded. And because the teachers are seeing personal benefits in time saved and easier working, they are increasingly using the system for teaching and learning as well as admin processes.
