Aine like you I found that some of my students became quite attached to the iPad and I almost avoided their use. Having seen all the ways I could be using ICT I am as enthusiastic as you are.

I love the ‘two stars and a wish’ idea Alan, I have used it and experienced it with peer evaluation but not used it with students. I will implement going forward. Thank you!

I have used the PEP3 with autistic preschoolers and found it very beneficial to identify behaviours, strengths and challenges that I may not have otherwise observed. Many of our students are non-verbal and the kit is easy to use (bubbles, playdough, bell, puzzles…etc) as most activities can be modelled or explained through simple phrases and directions or non-verbal gestures. The results give a great indication of where the particular child needs additional support and informs our teaching (AfL).

I totally agree, I’ve enjoyed exploring it myself!
