Integrating new technology into the classroom can completely change your teaching and learning, but without proper training, it can feel like a big challenge for teachers. Schools often invest in the latest interactive touchscreens, visualisers, and other educational technology, but if educators aren't confident in using them, the investment may not yield the impact you want.

Why Teacher Training Matters

The rapid rise of technology in schools has made it essential for teachers to feel confident in their ability to use these tools effectively. Without the right guidance, even the most advanced tech can remain underused, limiting its benefits for students. By offering robust training, schools can empower teachers, enhance lessons, and maximise technology investment.

Tailoring Training to Meet Different Comfort Levels

Teachers have varying levels of familiarity with technology. While some are tech-savvy, others may struggle with even basic functions. When planning training, it’s important to assess the current skill levels of your staff. We've seen this everywhere. Our head of education and Teaching, Christine Mayers, has been to schools expecting to help onboard the teachers with newly released software only to realise that they were unaware of some of the more basic functions of their touchscreens.

Ongoing Support and Continuous Learning

Teacher training shouldn’t be a one-off event. As new updates and features are introduced, or when new staff join the school, there should be opportunities for further learning. Having access to ongoing support and refresher courses can keep teachers up-to-date and comfortable with evolving technologies. Additionally, creating a support network within the school—where more experienced teachers mentor those less familiar with the tools—can be an excellent way to build a collaborative and tech-positive environment.

We do all of this and more, it's what sets us apart from the other sellers out there. Offering onboarding sessions with the tech you get from us, in person and online training and weekly online webinars on our advanced training platform.
