Course Title:  TurningPoint

Curriculum / Subject Area: ICT/Cross curricular
School Phase: First, Middle and Special

TurningPoint is a brilliant system for gaining an insight into pupils' understanding and learning across the curriculum. It gives teachers access to instant reports to assess and analyse their pupils’ performance during and after the lesson as well as  helping to create an environment of individualised and personalised learning.

TurningPoint sits as a toolbar within Microsoft PowerPoint and pupils respond to questions by means of a neat voting pad. Responses are displayed anonymously on screen but teachers can see individual responses by matching names to numbered voting pad.

During the course of the day teachers will be able to try out the kit and look at a number of example resources. The intention is for colleagues to borrow a class set of voting pad to use in their own classroom for a term We would ask course participants to bring their laptops in order to install the software and become comfortable using the equipment before the end of the day.
