In this Kahoot webinar ,we will look at how Kahoot can be used

• To set up remote learning assessments and weekly quizzes
• How teachers can use the massive amount of ready made quizzes already on Kahoot and can tailor and change theses quizzes to suit their own class.
• How students can create their own quizzes and share them with their class and students.

This event will look in detail about implementing ALT1: interactive information systems from the Python / Firebase side (not using web-based technologies such as HTML or Javascript).

We will also examine how to use Firebase as a relational database. 

We will be using Thonny, using Python 3.6:

Navan, Tralee, Clare and Monaghan Education Centres are holding an information webinar
for any teachers or schools interested in taking part in this new and innovative project,
Make a Movie: Home Project 2020.

The aim of this practical project is to introduce and promote filmmaking through schools for
students at home and to provide students with an opportunity to engage with learning in a fun
and creative way.

Filmmaking is an excellent way to integrate multiple subjects from the primary curriculum. It
offers a novel opportunity to enhance the use of oral language and communication skills,
while also promoting creativity, responsibility, individualism and co-operation in students,
either in a mainstream classroom or special education setting at home. Participating in this
project is a fun and innovative way to enable children to learn in a child-led, discovery-based
learning setting. It also offers an excellent assessment tool for teachers as pupils can record
their progress and follow the step by step pre-recorded tutorials.

The information webinar will introduce all aspects of the filmmaking process to schools
facilitating distance learning, outlining the simple and effective use of filmmaking and
providing clear examples of what may be achieved through the process. The advantages of
the project will be explained to teachers as well as an overview of the lessons provided for
classes and schools.

School Secretaries are coping with so many new challenges and changes due to the Covid 19 crisis. It has never been more important to prioritise well-being and discover ways to build resilience.

The field of Positive Psychology (the science of well-being) can offer many skills and strategies to help to develop the resilience needed at this time, so that we feel strong and equipped to face current challenges.

This webinar will introduce 10 specific well-being and resilience skills from the field of Positive Psychology.

This webinar aims to guide schools in supporting parents.  

-Communications with parents in support of students learning will be the main focus. 

-Developing home-school partnerships

-Discussing difficult to reach parents and students

Áine Lynch will present on effective communications considering heightened anxieties caused by Covid-19.  

The webinar will also accommodate a Q &A session also so that common or complex challenges can be discussed.

In these difficult times the most vulnerable students in our school communities are a considerable concern for all who engage with them for learning and guidance.  We are hosting a special webinar to guide schools as they continue to nurture these students from a distance.  We acknowledge that often these students are difficult to reach.  We have engaged a unique panel of experts to offer advice and encouragement and to share recommendations associated with SEN teaching and learning during this time.

• Michael Coughlan, an experienced SET will share a suite of ideas,  tools and resources for students and parents to adapt at home

• Dr Ciara MacConnuibh will offer guidance on team teaching and collaboration in approaching SEN students and guiding parents.

• Dr Michele Dunleavy will offer advice around ASD student learning at home.
