The workshop will be led by the school’s Digital Media Champions, a group of children who help to inform teachers and pupils in neighbouring schools about new technologies. The short session will look at how to use the Nintendo DSi to stimulate lessons, group-work, record assessments and measure against targets, as well as showcase how the school uses the new portable USB Charging Case from LapSafe® Products to charge and store their gaming devices.

Mark Exley, General Manager at LapSafe® Products, is looking forward to hosting the on-stand events. He said: “The BETT Show has always been a key date in our calendar because it provides us with another opportunity to engage with educators and potential resellers to see how we can best meet their needs.

"This will be our twelfth year at the exhibition, and I am really looking forward to hosting a series of small events on our stand to help teachers learn from the best practice of others.  Visitors will be able to come to H39 to find out about new ways of learning and to see just why our charging lockers, laptop trolleys and other products have earned their reputation for superior quality, longevity, safety and value for money”.

Sarah Smith, Headteacher at St Peter and St Paul CE Primary School in Burgh-le-Marsh, is excited to demonstrate her school’s expertise and will be on hand to explain how her school benefits from games-based learning. She said: “Our drive to be innovative with technology to engage our children reaps its reward in the positive attitude, risk taking and enjoyment within lessons at our school.  Children are at the forefront of this work, with our Digital Media Champions leading training developments and pupils setting and monitoring their own targets.  It has been the most significant step in developing our curriculum and inspires everyone within our school.”
