Saving teachers time to embed ICT

Contemporary research shows that teachers want activities, resources and lesson ideas to support the effective use of ICT in the primary classroom. Always keen to satisfy teachers’ needs, Logotron has produced a package of over 150 cross-curricular resources with the accent on arts and creativity - the Logotron Creative Classroom.

The Logotron Creative Classroom could save teachers of English, Maths, Art & Design or ICT hours of lesson preparation time by providing them with two years’ worth of print on demand, ready-made curriculum activities, on a single CD.

The Logotron Creative Classroom offers differentiated activities covering all aptitude and abilities from KS2 upwards, including projects for gifted and talented pupils. The activities have all been built using Imagine Logo. However many can be explored and used directly using just a web browser.

The software offers both pupil and teacher pathways through the activities. The teacher pathway is there as a reference or for use in continuing professional development or teacher training settings. It has a wealth of backup material, especially useful in gifted and talented delivery.

The pupil pathway offers a ready-made route through the activities, starting at a basic level and then moving on to where pupils are encouraged to repurpose, design and build their own projects.

Each pathway is divided into four sections: Basic (getting started), Core Skills (simple, practical projects to create or use in the primary classroom), Explorations (interactive games, idea maps, musical games and internet pages) and Constructions (modelling, using text, making multimedia projects).

The Logotron Creative Classroom is priced at £49. Like all Logotron titles it is supported by a 30-day money-back guarantee, free technical support and can be purchased using COL eLearning Credits. Plus, existing users of Imagine Logo can buy Logotron Creative Classroom for the special price of £24.
