Scargill Junior Y Factor

For the second year in a row pupils from Scargill Junior School got third place in The Learners’ Y Factor at the national Handheld Learning Awards at the The Barbican presented by Jason Bradbury of  Channel 5’s The Gadget Show.  Led by teacher and ICT leader Karen Webley the children showed the audience and judges the excellent ways in which they use handheld learning to support teaching and learning.  This included sharing their teacher and pupil joint planning for Technology Week and a live survey with the audience using SmartPhones and WildKey to gather data! 

The judges and audience were wowed by the innovative approaches and in a very tough field of candidates the School finished in Third Place, with all pupils awarded a Nintendo Wii.  Special recognition needs to go to Karen Webley for all of her efforts and to the children at Scargill Junior for all of their efforts with the presentation.
