eNewsletter from PbyP | Issue 13, October 2008

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Thank you to everyone who attended Cambridge Education’s Transforming Learning Conference on 30th September and helped to make it such a success. We especially appreciate the contributions of Ellen Lesse of Serlby Park and Andrew Penman and Liz Turner from the Five Islands School, on using PbyP in transforming learning experiences in their respective schools. This month we have details of our new resource for Early Years and Foundation Stage teachers: PbyP Foundations. We have a case study of Radstock Primary School and their innovative use of PbyP alongside other technologies. This will be a regular feature, with a new case study in each newsletter. We also have the usual round up of news, opportunities and consultations related to innovation in education.
