“I would just like to say that I found the iPad training today most helpful. Both Eric and Mark were so engaging and approachable – it was clear that they had a real passion for this area of learning. Through both sessions, they clearly explained the benefits of using iPads in the primary classroom and stated how the given tasks could be manipulated to suit different classrooms and age ranges. Furthermore, the information about Apple Teacher was so helpful and is something I will definitely be looking into.”
From a teacher after attending an APL session with Eric McCleery, APLS, Pond Park Primary School.
