CPD Session Details
The online teacher's toolkit
Course Overview
Now that we are all used to the different platforms available, teachers need their tools. Without access to physical handouts, cuisinaire rods, IWBS or whiteboard markers teachers now need to be equipped with new tools to take on the virtual classroom. During this session we take a look at a selection of tools that are freely available online.
