Getting Started
This element contains an animated SWAY document and short videos about the main learning platforms that we will be using.
SWAY Animated Document: Getting Started
We have used SWAY (a feature of Microsoft Office 365) to create the following animated document. As you scroll through this animated document, you will see it contains text, images and optional links to further information.
For some devices, it may be better to view the following Getting Started animated document in full screen by pressing the icon with four arrows. You should find this in the top right hand corner of the document below. To exit full screen, press esc (escape) or click on the four arrows icon again.
Alternatively, the 'three dots' icon will allow you to open in a new tab. If you choose to open in a new tab, please return to this page to continue with the next element.
If you experience any difficulties viewing the document due to connectivity issues, please email us and we will send you a PDF version.

Just when you think you know someone...
We often talk about 'building community' but a sense of community should never be taken for granted, whether it is for adults or children. The 'Two Facts, One Fiction' task is one we have used with some of you before. Not only is it great for making new connections (and maintaining community) but revisiting activities gives participants an opportunity to up-skill themselves. We thought it would be a good vehicle to familiarise people with the Padlet tool. It also demonstrates how a familiar tool can be adapted for use in the virtual environment that we have had to occupy since March 2020. We have provided a Sway document and a video as guidance. Padlet Guidance Video: Two Facts, One Fiction
Optional Further LinksIf you are interested in learning more about Padlet and how to use it in education, these external links will take you to useful webpages. Padlet is one online resource. As always, we suggest you check with your workplace about using this (and any other) online tool with your learners in terms of security, safe-guarding, privacy and data protection.
Disclaimer: Although we openly promote Padlet as a fantastic online tool, we are not affiliated to the company and we do not receive renumeration for our recommendation. |

FIVE TO THRIVE
A lot happened in 2020, including an extraordinary inspection and report for BEDWAS INFANTS!
Take the time to re-read your report...AND SMILE. Now, choose your TOP FIVE STATEMENTS from the report that are meaningful for YOU. You may choose to celebrate something general or something very specific. We appreciate how modest people are but don't be afraid to celebrate something in which you played a contributing role. We would ask you not to confer with you colleagues about your choices before the Zoom Meet. There are no 'wrong' answers! (A statement could be a short phrase of a few words, a single sentence or two connected sentences.) Make a note of these (and their precise location in the report) and bring them along to the ZOOM MEET. |

ZOOM Video Conference: Community Meet
